Hi Everyone, Welcome to the new Systems for AI Lab/Initiative! We're very excited to get this off the ground and pursue lots of fruitful collaborations, open-source systems, and other avenues for this topic. For this semester, we are planning to start with weekly meetings on *Wednesdays from 2-3pm* starting after Spring Break, i.e., first meeting on 3/19 (calendar series https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/2?cid=Y19kYjcwYzg5YzQ5MDJhYTc0ZDllYjd...). I hope that most of you will be able to attend: if you generally can't make this time, please do email me (if enough people can't, we'll work to reschedule). In terms of agenda, for the first few meetings, we're planning to have "introduction" presentations from each group to help us gain an understanding of what everyone is working on and interested in across the stack. It would be wonderful if each group could share an overview of what their group works on in the AIML space, and dive into a few recent projects. Ideally, we'll have 2-3 groups per week, grouped by the topic they work in, e.g., one week will be runtime/infra, another can be hardware, another on model architecture/algorithms. Here's a proposed presentation order https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CbaZQnhle1jgkof3QFmQg1zBwo-9f0-kalik..., but please let me know if we need to shuffle things around. After that, we will shift more to paper discussions and reading groups on some recent topics, e.g., reasoning models. Lastly, thank you to my students -- Rui Pan, Mike Wong, Yinwei Dai -- for setting up our website https://sysml.cs.princeton.edu/! If you have any additional content (e.g., people, papers, project directions), please do coordinate with them to make sure it gets added. Best, Ravi
