I&#8217;ll demonstrate three powerful options: two cloud-based models\u2014ChatGPT and Claude Sonnet\u2014and one locally hosted solution, LLaMA. We\u2019ll explore how these tools can assist in everything from code generation and debugging to documentation and testing. We&#8217;ll look at options for integrating them into your development environment, highlighting their strengths and limitations. This talk is designed to provide actionable insights for developers at any level. There will be ample time for questions, so come prepared to explore how AI can accelerate your software development process and improve your coding efficiency!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Agenda<\/strong>: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Business Meeting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Presentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discussion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjournment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More Discussion @ the Pub (Optional)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Date \/ Time:<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>March 11th, 2025 19:30 EST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Location:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In Person<\/strong>: TMU George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre, 245 Church Street (just north of Dundas), Room 201 (See note below)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Online using Nextcloud:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/hub.gtalug.org\/call\/7m45sf9i\">https:\/\/hub.gtalug.org\/call\/7m45sf9i<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The doors to the building are normally locked.
