Contribute to GitLab with Your Feedback! Hello there, We're excited to get your thoughts on new and improved product experiences the team has been creating! Over the next few weeks, we will be scheduling 60 minute, 1:1 feedback sessions with our users and our UX design and research team. We will be looking for an array of different participants to provide feedback on different designs and workflows, particularly on AI features. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please register by completing our screener. These sessions will be running until the end of September 2025. Selected Participants who complete their session, will receive a $150 gift card (or equivalent currency where available), via Tremendous, our incentive provider. If you have any questions, you can reach out to Cait and Mariana from our research operations team at research@gitlab.com.

Screenshot of a talk about "Learning AI 101", saying "Embedded (homelab Raspberry Pi). The picture on the right shows a Raspberry Pi 5 board with a fan, and a 10 inch rack assembly module for PIs, where an SSD is mounted in an 2280 NVMe slot. The slide talks about using homelab hardware to run Large Language Models, first learnings in 2024 with GPU bottlenecks, and excitement about smaller LLMs, and faster Ollama development. Ollama is a server/desktop runtime to serve different models, and can run on a Raspberry Pi 5, Windows, Linux, macOS.

Soooo looking forward to Open Source @ Siemens next week, meeting friends again 💜 I'll bring my "Learning AI 101" stories 🌱

👣 AI on Embedded and Agentic AI learnings? Yes!
😅 Slides finished? Well. I'll post them later.
