About GatorLUG
GatorLUG is a Linux User Group located in Gainesville, Florida. The purpose of the group is education, support and advocacy for open source, open data formats, and open communication standards.
We meet the third Wednesday of each month. Most meetings are held at a place where food and drinks are available. The meeting announcement will always list the physical location of the meeting. If we have to cancel or change a meeting time it will be announced in advance on this website and posted to LINUX-L@LISTS.UFL.EDU.
The meeting time will be 6pm unless we have announced a change. We'll do our best to keep the meeting time and place as consistent as possible. All regular monthly meetings will have an agenda posted to this website and announced on the LINUX-L list. You are welcome to come early, get a bite to eat and socialize before the presentation starts. Meetings will officially finish by 8pm - that's the goal anyway.
You can often find some of us hanging out on our official IRC channel: irc.freenode.net #gatorlug
Meetings are free and open to the public.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Stephen Batifol discusses building and optimizing self-hosted, multimodal RAG systems. He breaks down vector search, nearest neighbor indexes (FLAT, IVF, HNSW), and the critical role of choosing the right embedding model. He then explains vLLM inference optimization (paged attention, quantization) and uses Mistral's Pixtral to detail multimodal large language model architecture.
By Stephen BatifolAt OpenAI's DevDay 2025, AgentKit and models GPT-5 Pro and Sora 2 were unveiled, enabling interactive software experiences directly within ChatGPT. This shift towards "apps inside ChatGPT" fosters collaboration and commercialization in conversations. Enhanced self-hosting options and robust SDKs empower developers and streamline workflows, positioning OpenAI at the forefront of AI innovation.
