What a time I had at @devoxx.uk this week, the energy was fantastic and it’s an honor to have attended and spoke at #DevoxxUK for the first time! Thanks to the Red Hat team with @kevindubois.com @danieloh30.bsky.social @myfear.com and many other rockstars for making this happen! 🚀 Slides below :)

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!

OpenAI’s gpt-oss language model is a beast, and matches models like o3 and o4-mini on coding, tool use, and more 🤯 but how can you run it yourself with zero trust security, in containers + automatic GPU acceleration? The #Ramalama project has you covered: developers.redhat.com/articles/202...

Oh! And also this technical “getting started” guide:

Getting started with llm-d: developers.redhat.com/articles/202...

Getting started with llm-d for distributed AI inference | Red Hat Developer

llm-d optimizes LLM inference at scale with disaggregated prefill/decode, smart caching, and Kubernetes-native architecture for production environments

Cedric Clyburn @cedricclyburn.com · Aug 19

It’s widely known that LLM’s can be costly and difficult to scale, but in the past few weeks I’ve learned about #llm-d, an open source framework for distributed AI inference on Kubernetes & put together this simple explainer blog ⤵️

What is llm-d & Why Do We Need It: www.redhat.com/en/blog/what...

What is llm-d and why do we need it?

We're seeing a significant trend: more organizations are bringing their large language model (LLM) infrastructure in-house.

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 ⬇️

Couldn’t be happier after a busy few days in Berlin for @wearedevelopers.bsky.social World Congress, catching up with friends & hanging out at the #RedHat stage! I’ll link my own developer & AI engineer focused sessions below, featuring @podmanio.bsky.social #vLLM & Meta’s #LlamaStack!

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 :)

Cedric Clyburn @cedricclyburn.com · Jul 1

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 🎥⤵️
