Back from the summer break 😎 with a new edition of the optimization roundtable. Come by and talk optimization and other fun things in life over a beer 🍻 Looking forward to see you! 📍Hos Rune, Vesterbro, CPH ⏱️24th of September, 19-21 www.linkedin.com/events/optim...

New week, a new blog post about optimization. This time about a new modeling framework in Python called "pyOptInterface". Is it any good? Where does it fall short? Let's find out! oberdieck.dk/2025/05/25/p... #modeling #optimization #pyoptinterface #pyomo #blog

Been a long time, but better late than never they say. Here is a short new blog post about #pydantic, which does not always do what it says it does. oberdieck.dk/2025/04/25/p... Also, I moved to mkdocs-material for the blog, let me know what you think! #python #pydantic

Work in optimization or operations research? Are in Copenhagen on Thursday? Then you might like this tutorial on "Testing Optimization Code": www.dorsnet.dk/events-1/dor... We'll do a deep dive on what it means to test .... optimization code (surprised pikachu face :) ). And there will be cake :)

This job post from @gurobioptimization.bsky.social just popped up for me: A "Gurobi Development Scholar", who will go through a 2-year period to become a Gurobi developer. The only plausible explanation for this is that apparently they cannot find existing MIP devs but have to train them? Really??

Fact of the day: the term "Prisoner's dilemma" was coined by none other than Alan Tucker, the "T" in the KKT conditions. The world sometimes is very, very small... Source: William Poundstone: "Prisoner's Dilemma"

If you happen to be in #CPH next Friday (31st of January), feel free to join our Optimization Roundtable ("Stammtisch") at a cozy beer place called Hos Rune. I'll be there from 7pm, hope to see a lot of you there :) www.linkedin.com/events/optim... #optimization #roundtable #beer

How do you test optimization code? I'll look at this favorite question of mine in a tutorial on the 13th of March at ITU in Copenhagen! Come by! www.dorsnet.dk/post/dors-tu... #optimization #or #tutorial #cph

Optimization Roundtable in Copenhagen! On the 31st of January, at Hos Rune from 7pm, we'll have a relaxed get-together for optimization people over a beer and chat optimization, life and whatever else :) Hope to see you there! www.linkedin.com/events/optim... #optimization #or #cph

This is a really fun read: jordanbryan.substack.com/p/on-buildin... Of course a plug of their own business, but I have wondered the same when it comes to redlining. Nice to see that this is getting some attention. Although I do agree: just use a different file format...

A new blog post! This time about LLMs in optimization: oberdieck.dk/p/llm-in-opt... This is the first time I am writing something a bit longer, so please let me know what you think. I was seriously considering splitting this into three parts, but hey, maybe someone enjoys this :)

So I've seen the #Gurobi Gurobot GPT, and I've seen the launch video of #Quantagonia for their DecisionAI. Is there any other LLM-based initiative in the OR space that I am not aware of? #OR #LLM #optimization
