We’re BACK to Sweden 🇸🇪 this February! Excited to share that I’ll be joining and speaking at @jfokus.se this Feb 2-4th with the wonderful Stockholm dev community 💻 come by for our Day 1 workshop on building, testing, and deploying Java ☕️ apps using open source AI models and containers/Kubernetes!

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 💻 Slides: red.ht/local-llm

⚙️ Deep Dive Monday at #Jfokus — Building with Open Source AI: A Crash Course with @cedricclyburn.com & Legare Kerrisson from Red Hat. Learn how open models, Linux & Kubernetes empower you to forge your own AI path. 🔥 www.jfokus.se #DeveloperConference #AI #OpenSource #RedHat #Kubernetes #LLMs

Thanks to @cedricclyburn.com & Christopher Nuland, I'm pretty much impressed with llm-d.ai: a Kubernetes-native distributed inference stack that brings cache-aware routing and disaggregated serving to LLMs. Watch the full episode to know more: youtu.be/2Wtug1kTwUk

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!

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...

Containers & Kubernetes don’t have to be complicated! Check out our recap of @cedricclyburn.bsky.social’s #Devnexus session “Containers and Kubernetes Made Easy: Deep Dive into Podman Desktop” 👉 devnexus.com/posts/contai... 🎟Get Super Early Bird tickets until Sept 1→ devnexus.com

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...

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 ⬇️

Cedric Clyburn (@cedricclyburn.bsky.social), Senior Developer Advocate for Red Hat, joins us on stage to share their insights. Don't miss "Everything You Need to Know About Running LLMs Locally" at #AllThingsOpen! 2025.allthingsopen.org/sessions/eve...

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 :)

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 :)

It’s day 2️⃣ at #DevConf_CZ where we’ve been talking all things open source, now at the conference evening social (with beautiful weather) to recap a big day! Today’s keynote was on Bootable Containers with @podmanio.bsky.social, plus our @instructlab.bsky.social workshop, and so much more 🥳

We’re LIVE 🎥 here at #DevConf_CZ, the ultimate open source conference learning about the projects, people, and ideas that foster this amazing community! Was honored to help host the keynote (slides below) around open source AI and how devs, ops, and beyond can get involved :)

Yesterday was #KCDNewYork and I’m beyond proud of our work in bringing together 250+ of the cloud-native community in my favorite city to share, network, and build relationships! Love seeing the power of open source at work, and thanks to the incredible team and volunteers 👏

While #RedHatSummit is over, I had an absolute blast and wanted to put together a quick recap to show you the experience 🎥🍿 from running around to talks, recording sessions on #BootableContainers, and catching up with friends, it was a really amazing time! 🔗 youtube.com/shorts/2lGu-...

🎬 We’re LIVE here from #RedHatSummit and the energy has been amazing! So good to catch up with new and old friends, talking all things open source and featuring projects like #vLLM, @podmanio.bsky.social, @instructlab.bsky.social and many more that are building a bright future for AI!

85% of the world’s data is unstructured, so today at @_odsc #ODSCEast in Boston we deep dive’d on advanced document parsing for AI workflows, showing how PDF’s and other valuable data sources can be effectively used in RAG and Agentic AI applications. Slides are linked below 👇
