On Apr. 19th, 2025, we had the fourth meeting of scicloj-ai-meetups, a new Clojure dev group focusing on AI, continuing the earlier scicloj-llm-meetups group.
17 people attended the meeting.
Brief summary

Baruch Berger - Weaving LLM tools into the feedback loop
Baruch gave an overview of various workflows and practices using LLMs combined with other tools. In particular, Baruch presented a tree-based canvas UI for interacting with LLM conversations.
theronic - Why MCP Sucks & How To Use It Anyway
@theronic discussed the concept of MCP (Model Context Protocol), and presented Modex, an MCP library in Clojure. The talk also demonstrated how to create an MCP server and also discussed the Datomic MCP Server.
Recording
The Scicloj-AI-meetups group
The scicloj-ai-meetups group is a new developer community focused on AI models, their underlying principles, and practical applications.
The group is organized by @stoica94 and @daslu, emerging from community discussions about the need for more open collaboration and experimentation in AI. It builds upon our previous initiatives like the scicloj-llm-meetups, but with an expanded scope that explores diverse types of AI models beyond just LLMs.
While some content will be specific to the Clojure ecosystem, much of the material will be valuable and relevant to the broader AI and programming communities.
