Join us for the May Hardware Hangout on May 14th! This networking event brings together embedded developers, electronics engineers, hobbyists, and industry supporters for technical discussions and community building.
The topic for the February Hardware Hangout is AI in IoT.
AI, especially LLMs (Large Language Models), have been in the news daily. So we wanted to hear the experiences of the Iowans of Things community. Are you using an LLM on your projects? How about other machine learning or artificial intelligence algorithms? Tell us the good, the bad, and the ugly! And if you haven’t used AI in any way, let us know that, too!
Share your stories, tips, and questions with the group!
