Some disorganized notes from the meeting:

* * *

##### Discussed [ENH: remove dcmqi extension by fedorov · Pull Request #2345 · Slicer/ExtensionsIndex · GitHub](https://github.com/Slicer/ExtensionsIndex/pull/2345)

##### What’s going on with NousNav lately? (@mau_igna_06)

Latest major development is that [SlicerOpenNav](https://github.com/NousNav/SlicerOpenNav) is now available as an open source extension that contains the NousNav functionality. Whereas NousNav will be a frozen clinically-bound application, appropriate for the regulatory process.

##### Discussion about LLMs and Slicer development.

[SlicerPythonTestRunner](https://github.com/KitwareMedical/SlicerPythonTestRunner) can be very helpful to get LLMs to do test driven development without having a Slicer build tree available.

###### Discussion about knowledge embedding for LLMs and vector databases

([https://www.trychroma.com/](https://www.trychroma.com/))

##### Discussion about [Potential JAX-based physics for real-time simulation in Slicer?](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/potential-jax-based-physics-for-real-time-simulation-in-slicer/44142) (@Bruce_Hu).
