Had one of my most fun sessions yet with @allthingsopen.bsky.social on Local LLM’s, showing how developers can setup their own private RAG, Vibe Coding, and Agentic AI apps (thanks to #MCP) without needing 3rd party models! Ft @podmanio.bsky.social + #vLLM

Back to my hometown in Raleigh, NC for @allthingsopen.bsky.social this week 🤩 it’ll be a busy time with my Local LLMs talk tomorrow (Developer Room 1, 3:15pm) but we’ve already started with a #WeLoveOpenSource chat and I’ll be at the #RedHat booth tomorrow doing fun live demos 💻

We had a BLAST this weekend in Boston for #DevConfUS and the #vLLM meetup talking all things open source and AI 🚀 from LLM compression, distributed model serving on Kubernetes, RAG/Agentic apps and so much more, the community is what drives things forward, and I’m so grateful!

We keep hearing about open-source AI like GPT-OSS, DeepSeek, Qwen, Llama 🦙 & more: but how do you actually test and scale them?
At #Ai4 in Vegas 🎰, we built a Blackjack coaching game to benchmark small language models on both CPU and GPU via #llama.cpp and #vLLM! I’ll link the slides and demo ⬇️

Happy Monday folks! I’m inbound ✈️ to @devbcn.bsky.social where I’ll be speaking about my favorite open source projects @podmanio.bsky.social & @podman-desktop.io to show how simple it can be for developers to move from containers, to pods, to Kubernetes! Join me on July 9th @ 2:20 in Room 2 :)

Back to my roots! I’m here in the NY IBM Technology studio to record a new whiteboard on @podmanio.bsky.social + @podman-desktop.io and #BootableContainers! It’s always a fun time producing these but Bootc is a uniquely special subject :)

There’s a ✨ revolution ✨ happening in the open source ecosystem around private and local AI systems, which keep your data secure and your costs low (or free)! Earlier this month I joined #AIFokus and the @jfokus.se community to share how developers can get started, recording 🎥⤵️

A bit late to the @fosdem.bsky.social recap party, but I had SUCH a blast as a first time attendee. Everyone is so kind, helpful, and really technically wise, I felt like it was a developer’s Disneyland 🏰 glad to be able to share my tiny bit of expertise in #AI and see some great friends!
