AboutIn the host's words.

Free admission. Rescheduled from November 4 to Wednesday, November 11. Austin Computer Club members are invited to Sovereign AI Club's November 11 meetup at Bitcoin Park Austin. Join us for a Socratic discussion of the latest AI news, with a focus on local AI, open models, and the freedom to choose how we use the technology. Our format is Socratic: a host brings recent news and research, and we explore it through questions and conversation. We look at the sources, compare experiences, and make room for different views on model releases, security, and where AI is heading. Topics include local LLMs, open source tools, models with downloadable weights, AI you can host yourself, and privacy. We are interested in what we can run ourselves, how our data is used, and the tradeoffs between convenience and control. There is room for technical detail, and you are welcome to ask questions as you learn. What to expect A guided news discussion, followed by time for member projects and questions. Come to share something you have tried, bring a question, or just listen. Builders, researchers, and curious people are welcome. No presentation required. Wednesday, November 11, 2026, 5:30 to 7:30 PM Central Bitcoin Park Austin, 601 Congress Avenue, Suite 250, Austin, TX 78701 When you arrive Someone will be at the main door to greet you and let you in. The elevator will already be unlocked and waiting for you. Once inside, press 2 to reach the second floor. You can also walk through the Mexta restaurant and take the elevator from there.
