Big moment for the agency I founded back in 2011, following our merger in 2023. 😅 I wrote a bit about the strange and somewhat surreal experience of refreshing our joint brand, from the perspiective of a founder. 📝

Looking forward to this conversation about the future or professional services and WordPress - each experiencing new pressures.

Integrating Ollama: Bringing Self‑Hosted AI to WordPress with ClassifAI ClassifAI now supports Ollama, bringing self-hosted AI to WordPress. Cut costs, boost privacy, and run AI models locally—no external APIs needed.

Ollama support isn't the glitziest #AI feature we've added to ClassifAI at @10up.com, but it may be the most provocative.

Being able to drop a private LLM instance on your server or even develop with it locally is profound, when you think about what makes @wordpress.org & open source special. 🧠

Smart approach to mitigating rising SaaS costs, having full control over our tool, and ensuring strict client data privacy.

Love it.

Looking forward to this. It will be my first in person, formal conference speaking engagement since the pandemic.

There’s more talk about #WordPress contribution & leadership after Automattic recalibrated its dev efforts.

I toast colleagues doing the less dramatic work of continuing to move releases forward & encourage elevating voices with a record of doing, not just talking:

Is (Fueled +) 10up still hiring? Yes! And referring some talent.

Reflecting on many conversations with colleagues about navigating this market, I wrote a bit about how we navigated tightening our workforce in 2024, and what we’re still looking for:
