This week we held the last meeting of the CNPq project Improving Aspects of Software Development Productivity using Language Models (CNPq nº 444507/2024-8). The project has run since 2024 and is coordinated by João Eduardo Montandon at UFMG. This time we met in Montréal.

Meetings like this one are an important part of the project. They give us time to share what each group has learned, discuss what worked and what did not, and plan new projects together. We left Montréal with several ideas for what comes next.
