👋 Welcome to HoustonAIEvents.com

Howdy, Houstonians!

We’re thrilled to launch HoustonAIEvents.com, a community hub laser‑focused on large language models (LLMs)—the minds behind ChatGPT‑o3, Claude 4.0 Opus, Gemini Pro, and other cutting‑edge models.

Why Houston? Why LLMs?

Houston has always been a city of big ideas—moon missions, biomedical breakthroughs, energy innovation. Today, the most exciting frontier is language‑centric AI. Models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT‑o3, Anthropic’s Claude 4.0, Opus, and Google’s Gemini Pro are reshaping how we build products, conduct research, and communicate.

Yet there hasn’t been a single, go‑to place to:

• Discover meetups, hack nights, and study groups dedicated to prompt engineering, fine‑tuning, retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and multimodal LLM applications.
• Connect talent with opportunity—whether you’re a student seeking a mentor, a startup looking for collaborators, or a seasoned pro eager to give back.
• Spotlight local successes where Houston innovators are applying LLMs to healthcare, energy, aerospace, finance, and education.

We built HoustonAIEvents.com to fill that gap.
