On Apr. 19th, 2025, we had the fifth meeting of [scicloj-ai-meetups](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/groups/ai-meetups/), a new Clojure dev group focusing on AI, continuing the earlier [scicloj-llm-meetups](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/groups/llm-meetups/) group.
11 people attended the meeting.
## Brief summary
- @pragyansden - _ **Reliable Extraction of Structured Data from LLM Responses** _
This was an extended and updated discussion following also Pragyan’s recent blog post, [Taming LLM Responses with Instaparse](https://bytes.vadelabs.com/taming-llm-responses-with-instaparse/).
- @vedang - **Writing MCP servers in Clojure, for fun and profit**
This was a discussion of MCP, the new [mcp-clojure-sdk](https://github.com/unravel-team/mcp-clojure-sdk), and related practices.
- @siavash_mohammady - _ **Agentic-Driven Data-science** _
The talk discussed a detailed method that composes an LLM, a couple of DSLs, [clara-rules](https://www.clara-rules.org/), a database, and [Tablecloth](https://scicloj.github.io/tablecloth) in one automated data-science workflow..
- After a short discussion, @vedang shared the screen again, and we had a dive into the code.
- In the unrecorded part, we discussed, among other things, possibly projects we can study/research at this group, in the sessions and in between the sessions. A few ideas were proposed in a discussion with @Michael_Cole, @siavash_mohammady, and others. Here are a couple of concrete ideas for upcoming meetings:

## The Scicloj-AI-meetups group
The [scicloj-ai-meetups](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/groups/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](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/groups/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.
