206. Jean Zay for AI in Physics: Resources, Access and Getting Started

Stéphane Ilic (IDRIS)

17/11/2026 09:00

AI Ecosystem: Infrastructure, Open Science and Community

Invited talk

Jean Zay, hosted at IDRIS, provides large-scale computing resources for AI research. This talk will offer a practical introduction for the IN2P3 and CEA-IRFU communities, focusing on the resources available and the steps required to access and use them effectively.

I will present the computing resources and software environment, together with an outlook on future capabilities. The...

226. LLM and agents

Invited talk

216. Lightcone Research: an open ecosystem for reproducible, composable and verifiable physics analyses in the age of AI agents

Alexandre Boucaud (APC / IN2P3)

17/11/2026 10:00

AI Ecosystem: Infrastructure, Open Science and Community

Standard talks

Nowadays, AI agents that can write and run scientific code on their own. From coding assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor and Codex to integrated research systems such as Kosmos and Gemini Co-Scientist or Claude Science, they all are rapidly changing how analyses are built in physics. This speed also makes an existing problem worse. Methodological choices, assumptions and scientific...

217. French tokens for everyone : partnering with the ILaaS Federation

Alexandre Boucaud (APC / IN2P3)

17/11/2026 10:20

AI Ecosystem: Infrastructure, Open Science and Community

Lightning talks

Large language models are quickly becoming everyday tools for physicists and software developers, whether for coding help, documentation, data exploration or agentic workflows. Yet access is uneven, and most usage goes through shadow IT with commercial frontier APIs, which raises concerns about cost, data sovereignty and environmental footprint. Many research needs, however, do not require a...

222. Beyond efficiency: Frugal AI

Dr Sophie CERF (INRIA)

17/11/2026 14:00

Invited talk

The adoption of AI is accelerating and its ecological impacts are soaring, despite tremendous improvements of technologies efficiency. Indeed, such improvements have historically consistently led to increased usage and thus overall impacts of AI technologies. Yet, frugality of AI is a major preoccupation, e.g. at the national (AFNOR reference document), and European (AI act) levels. In this...

225. MIAI Cluster: the Grenoble Alpes AI cluster and what it offers to physics

Cyrille Doux (LPSC)

17/11/2026 14:30

Invited talk

MIAI Grenoble Alpes is one of the nine French AI clusters, built on the 3IA institute created in 2019 and coordinated by Université Grenoble Alpes with UCA and USMB. It brings together about 600 researchers from more than 100 laboratories, from machine learning, generative AI and explainable or frugal AI to vision, robotics, health, environment and industry. This talk presents the cluster's...
