+
+## Notes from the catchup
+
+🧠 **Self-hosted AI model in browsers:**
+- @thanh expressed concerns about the usage and download size of LLMs on weak internet connections.
+- @toanho is exploring WebGPU and its application for our use case, although browser support is still limited.
+- Action items for next week are being planned.
+
+⚙️ **Elixir Cluster Problem:**
+- @hieuthu1 proposed one possible solution in solving Elixir clustering and scalability through using Process Groups to group and orchestrate actions between processes, enabling message broadcasting across multiple instances/pods.
+- Raft consensus (leader voting) is also being considered to help orchestrate state and work.
+
+⚖️ **Comparing Rust 101 vs Go:**
+- @hieuthu1 discussed the differences in concurrency between Rust and Go, highlighting Rust's focus on functional style and managing references, borrowing, and closures.
+- Rust may have a moderate barrier of entry for new learners due to the nuanced understanding required for references and borrowing.
+- @hieuthu1 mentioned that a workshop/session on Rust will be organized soon.
+
+🎮 **Rust Game Server:**
+- @khacvy demoed a more interactive and flushed UI for the spaceship Rust game.
+- He also mentioned the challenges he encountered, and gave a short course in running Rust
+
+💡 **Updates on AI:**
+- @Tom shared information about Mixtral 8x7B AI, based on Mixture of Experts.
+- Mixture of Experts is extensively used in ChatGPT, but advancements in multi-agent LLMs have led to clearer architectures for scaling multi-modal and specialized infrastructure.
