Excited to be in Bali for the Google AI Community Summit 2025! 🌴✨ Tomorrow I’ll be giving a talk on the importance of open source in the AI world, a topic close to my heart. Can’t wait to connect with fellow AI community friends and share ideas!

Yesterday, I had the privilege of giving a lecture at the University of Toronto, one of the top universities in Canada and North America. 🎓🇨🇦 Huge thanks to Denys Linkov for the kind invitation and the opportunity to share knowledge with such an inspiring audience! 🙌

🚀 Genkit Go 1.0 is here! The Genkit Go SDK has reached its first stable release, making it production-ready for developers building GenAI-powered apps.

I’ll be at @GitHub.com Universe 🚀 Who else is coming? Would love to connect! 🙌

🚀 Exciting news! Today marks the launch of Gemini Flash Image 2.5 — and my Cardex is ready for it! With this new model, you’ll be able to generate your very own Pokémon Cards directly in Cardex using this new model⚡️🎴

It always surprises me to see startups limiting their hiring to cities like Seattle, SF, NYC, London, or Zurich. The world is full of incredible engineering talent. In South Europe and LATAM, you can often build an entire team for the cost of a single engineer in those high-cost hubs.

I’ve built a community Genkit plugin for OpenTelemetry in Go This plugin implements exporters for trace/span, metrics, and logs to match your observability stack. 👉 Check it out on GitHub: buff.ly/atOhoGC I’d love your feedback, bug reports, or contributions!

I've just updated Cardex to use Veo 3 Preview to make the cards live, and it works awesome! Generate your cards and make the real today: buff.ly/vbNDaTK

🚀 Just dropped the AWS Bedrock plugin for Genkit in Go! After building it for TypeScript, I couldn't resist bringing the same power to the Go ecosystem. Now you can integrate AWS Bedrock's AI models into your Go applications with Genkit's developer-friendly framework. buff.ly/ZDUHLoG

¡Gracias a GDG Menorca por invitarme a su evento Build with AI! 🙌 Ha sido un placer compartir conocimientos con vosotros, espero que hayáis aprendido y os hayáis inspirado con Genkit y el potencial de la IA generativa. Os dejo por aquí una entrevista que nos hicieron en la radio: 🎙️ buff.ly/FQX9n6n

I want to share what is probably the most meaningful open-source contribution I’ve made so far. Over the past months, I’ve been working closely with the Google team to develop the OpenAI-compatible plugin for the Genkit framework, in both Golang and TypeScript.

📚 Thinking about writing a book? To make it easier, I've built a book template repository that automatically generates your Markdown into EPUB, PDF, MOBI, and Leanpub formats, as well as a dynamic website. Just focus on writing in Markdown, and let the repo handle the rest!

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be one of the judges for GitHub’s “For the Love of Code” 2025! 💙⚙️ This global open-source challenge is all about celebrating creativity, collaboration, and code that makes a difference. 🧑💻✨ More details here:

These are all open-source plugins I’ve built or currently maintain for genkit, and today we’re hitting a major milestone: 💥 17,969 downloads in just the past month — only for the genkitx-openai plugin! 🙏 Thanks to everyone who’s been using, testing, and giving feedback.

🚀 Thanks to the latest updates I contributed to the Genkit OpenAI plugin, you can now connect directly to a Docker-hosted model! 🐳🤖 Check out this awesome guide by @jggomezt to see how to integrate Docker Model Runner + Genkit + LangChain: 👉

I’m incredibly honoured to be recognized once again as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for the second year in a row! This year, I’ve been awarded in the areas of: 💡 Azure AI Foundry 🧠 Azure AI Services

Firebase Studio is a beast, but you can be more productive if you connect Firebase Studio to external MCP servers. Here is how: buff.ly/cClv66V

Last day in the Bay! See you again in October!

Only in Silicon Valley: I walked into a WeWork to get some work done and boom, Perplexity and Heygen offices right there. Casual coworking with the future of AI. 🤯

Not every day you get to meet the creator of the Go programming language! 🙌 Truly inspiring to hear firsthand from someone who’s shaped the tools we use every day. Thank you so much Robert Griesemer!

Today I tried the new Google Glasses with Gemini and a screen inside the lens. Without a doubt, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Once again, Google is leading innovation!
