I’ve been elected to the @kubefloworg.bsky.social Steering Committee! 🎉

Kubeflow is the open-source AI platform that makes AI/ML simple, portable, and scalable that was originally introduced by @googlesearch.bsky.social.

If you're building in AI, let’s connect! 💪

The reason I think it's important to spread the message that using modern AI tools is difficult is that I don't want people being embarrassed to ask questions about how to use them - or quietly assuming they "aren't smart enough" and giving up
General consensus in the replies and quotes of this seems to be that the entire concept of "AI skills" is a joke - how hard is typing text into a chatbot, really?

I will continue to argue that it's genuinely difficult, and that the challenge in using these tools is widely underestimated
No, they're not caught between anything. Stop it. The fact that AI may be used or useful in future jobs does not create a single dilemma at all for college students in how to actually complete their coursework. This is all nonsense & excuses for not doing the reading & learning how to think & write.

With all of the talks of AI Agents, I decided to outline what needs to happen for AI Agents to be successful.

And I condensed it into this silly diagram.

The rise of foundation models has incentivized a diversification of skillsets in both software engineering and AI research itself.

For most software engineers, being well rounded is more important than pure technical mastery. 1/3

For anyone interested in fine-tuning or aligning LLMs, I’m running this free and open course called smol course. It’s not a big deal, it’s just smol.

A special LLM course focusing on Smol models, the <2B parameters generic models which can run on-device/in-browser

What's a feature in the context of AI/ML?

Anything that is input to a matrix used to generate a prediction.

That means:
- prompts
- context
- numbers in a matrix

And all of that can be used by a Feature Store

Merkle Trees are such a powerful data structure for distributed systems. They can allow you save a lot of bandwidth for the small cost of re-computing hashes of data. They also are what allow you to trust data retrieved from untrusted sources www.baeldung.com/cs/merkle-tr...

The best part about working on open source is that you really do get to code for fun and for something that’s useful.

Feature stores are the right foundation for serving data used for LLMs and GenAI.

A lot of different aspects of production AIbenefit from it.

It's what my entire goal is with Feast. I wrote more about in this article.

Who is building with Milvus? Making some progress for plugging it into Feast so that embedding and features can join the party.

I am going to be running to be a Kubeflow Steering Committee member and am very excited about the opportunity to make an impact.

From an email:

"Do you know of any teams that have had positive experiences with offshore teams - where directors and eng managers were in the US, and devs in another country? Why and how did these teams work so well together?"

My take: this (almost always) will not work. Everyone learns...

I take an extraordinary amount of joy in seeing my incremental progress.

Building open source is best a little bit at a time and then sometimes a lot of bits.
