The GenAI+ interest group, hosted by MSI, is an online community for anyone curious about Generative AI-- covering everything from large language models to emerging tools and latest trends. We learn together, exchange ideas, and dive into GenAI, all in a relaxed, virtual setting via Zoom. We also publish a monthly newsletter that introduces upcoming speakers (when scheduled) and brings you the latest news, developments, and software shaping the GenAI and HPC landscape.
