I am proud to congratulate Team Kenya for their outstanding achievement of winning the Grand Prize at the Huawei ICT Competition 2025–2026 Global Finals in Shenzhen, China.

Just a few days ago, during the Connected Africa Summit 2026, I had the honour of awarding these bright young innovators as they embarked on their journey to represent Kenya on the global stage.

Today, they have returned with the highest honour in the competition, making history as the first Kenyan team to win the Grand Prize since the competition began ten years ago.

This remarkable victory is a testament to the immense potential of our young people and the growing strength of Kenya’s digital ecosystem.

Competing against some of the best ICT students from around the world, the team demonstrated exceptional technical skills, innovation, teamwork, and determination.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Kevin Tuei of Tharaka University, Catherine Atieno of Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Brian Ngugi Kamau of Mt. Kenya University, and Salem Kim of Machakos University for this extraordinary accomplishment.

Their success reinforces our belief that investing in digital skills, innovation, and technology education is key to unlocking opportunities for our youth and positioning Kenya as a global leader in the digital economy.

I also commend the universities, mentors, Huawei, and all partners who continue to support the development of world-class ICT talent in our country.

As we advance our Digital Superhighway agenda, this achievement serves as a powerful reminder that Kenya’s greatest resource is its people. The future is bright, and our young innovators are proving that they can compete and excel on any stage in the world.

Congratulations, Team Kenya. You have made our nation proud.

@chirembaPT This is crazy

I think it's great that all the model providers are coming out with their own CLIs, but let's be honest, no dev is going to want to have five different CLIs installed. They're going to want to learn and use one tool with all the models. For me, that tool is OpenCode.

If you want to use an LLM, you don't need a cloud subscription or massive server.

You can run it right on your personal computer - and Manish shows you how in this guide.

You'll learn how to install Ollama via the UI and command line, set everything up, and then run it locally.

Now that the wheels have fallen off the woke regime in tech, we'd be smart to offer amnesty to those who got caught up in it. Be the counter force to the purity purges that plague that side. Accept earnest apologies, embrace the fallen, and forgive those who trespass against us.

We’re excited to share that Auth.js (formerly known as NextAuth.js), is now part of Better Auth. We're excited to keep making auth *better across the web.

"If you can't intimidate people into silence and compliance with the woke orthodoxies by threatening their job or their social circle, you might be able to threaten them with actual violence. That's what the "nazi" accusation is there to convey." https://t.co/FOnxKSdXdM

Have you ever wondered how LLMs work?

There's basic theory & modern techniques like RLHF (reinforcement learning from human feedback).

Here, you'll learn how to train a tiny model, scaling up, RLHF, & more.

@Khofi_adjei @abolorreeeee Parents have to pay for school amenities and the school needs to know who has paid or not. I'm streamlining the process.

@svpino I don't know why people don't like copilot, the auto complete is insane.

[Brian Kamau @dev_briankamau]

I've been setting up Kamal to deploy my web app, it kind of feels like babysitting docker, secrets and servers that refuse to cooperate. Anyone else using Kamal for deployment?
