Cloud Native + Kubernetes AI Day | LF Events As we step into the era of rapid AI advancements, organizations are grappling with an unprecedented array of challenges. The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs), the development of Graph RAGs…

Excited to announce that I'll be co-chairing #CloudNative & #Kubernetes AI Day North America (co-located with #KubeCon), together with @rochaporto.bsky.social, @rajaskakodkar.bsky.social, and Yuzhui Liu!

“1000 autonomous AI agents collaborating in Minecraft and in one of them they came up with democracy”

#CloudNative + #Kubernetes #AI Day is about to start!

“It’s not a phone; it’s a car” 💯

I'll get straight to the point.

We trained 2 new models. Like BERT, but modern. ModernBERT.

Not some hypey GenAI thing, but a proper workhorse model, for retrieval, classification, etc. Real practical stuff.

It's much faster, more accurate, longer context, and more useful. 🧵

#KubeConIndia keynotes coming to an end with a shoutout to five kubecons next year! And thanks to our co chairs @divyamohan.com and @nikhita.dev
