I’m very excited about the collaboration features, myself. Hoping live collaborative editing makes it into 7.0.

Appreciate - in contrast to the prior post - the positive feedback / appreciation for our voluntary contributions. 🙏

Good news, then - no one is forcing you to use it. 😊

As a longtime user, I’d love to hear about how you’ve contributed to the free project / software we both use, instead.

Proud to see 15 contributors from Fueled playing a lead role bringing @wordpress.org 6.9's headline feature to life. Encouraged by the focus on collaboration + AI architecture, continuing on into 7.0. 🙌🏻

Shout out to @jeffpaul.com & Ophelia Rose for their leadership in shipping the Notes feature. 💬

Looking for legitimate, efficient uses for AI? Then check out our recent AI-powered #VRT feature, another great example of #Fueled crafting practical solutions with #AI.

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.

Good conversation with my old friend @matthewmedeiros.bsky.social - mostly about the agency panel I’ll also participate in. But I’m especially looking forward to this little proactive talk on Friday…

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. 🧠

I love our emphasis on using open source tools, including @payload.dev, Google's Material UI, @mongodb.bsky.social, & Pa11y accessibility scanner.

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

Love it.

ClassifAI Updates Roundup: A More Powerful, Flexible AI Toolkit for WordPress Over the past year, ClassifAI has introduced major enhancements that make it even more powerful, user-friendly, and flexible for content creators and publishers. From a redesigned setup experience to ...

Have you played with ClassifAI? Different kind of tooling, but we’ve made the AI providers for various capabilities “pluggable.” You can already choose from a half dozen services - including Gemini - for most features

Post noting some new options (Ollama, Grok) yesterday: 10up.com/blog/2025/cl...

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:
