Backend Engineering is the hidden engine of scalable AI.

If you are an ML Engineer, Go deeper:

> gRPC & Protobufs (Low latency payloads)
> AsyncIO & Event Loops (Non-blocking concurrency)
> Connection Pooling (DB efficiency)
> Kafka & CDC (Real-time data ingestion)
> Backpressure Handling (Surviving inference bursts)
> Redis Pipelining (Batching feature fetch)
> Vector Indexing (HNSW/IVF in Qdrant)
> Graph Traversal (Cypher in Memgraph)
> Semantic Caching (Saving GPU compute)
> Distributed Locking (Race condition safety)
> Rate Limiting (Token buckets for LLMs)
> Idempotency (Safe retries)
> Database Sharding (Horizontally scaling state)
> OpenTelemetry (Tracing request lifecycles)

@jefielding FFS, I completely missed this 🙈🙈🙈

⁦@macrofactorapp⁩ - this is what I get when I want to use the AI food recognition. The feature worked fine until yesterday but today it just goes blank/white whenever I want to take a photo. Can you look into it, please?

Can AI create a sleek, $25k-design-agency website vs the usual “hairdresser salon” slop?

I tried five AI tools. It was impressive and nerve-wracking at the same time.

Here’s a breakdown:

Who's got a SORA invite code? 🙏

@taykv2 Hey Kev - in light of the most recent Kuzu news, let me know if you looking for a performant graph DB as an alternative. I'm with Memgraph and happy to help.

We’ve run 11 Launch Weeks at Wasp - probably more than anyone except @Supabase.

From the outside, it's all fancy tweets, memes and PH launches.

But here’s what it actually feels like to run 11 of them, and why its valuable even if only five people join:

[Matija Sosic @MatijaSosic]

This is why we're building https://t.co/6lGZ3Zxfhv - a new, truly full-stack framework.

Devs want Rails/Laravel experience for JS, but all the attempts so far have failed b/c either the timing was wrong, or the core team gave up (lost motivation, no money).

We've been pushing for almost five years and raised >$5M to have serious folks work FT on it. We're getting there, commit by commit.

Great keynote by @swyx sharing the State of the Union (AI) as the year of agents is upon us.

Day 2 today! Let's goooo! #AIEngineer #AIEParis

[Marko Srsan @msrsan]

Great to be in Paris for the @aiDotEngineer for the first edition outside US and hosted by @gokoyeb!

Thrilled to be at @aiDotEngineer (AIE) Paris 🇫🇷, the first AIE edition outside the US 🇺🇸, hosted at STATION F and organised with Koyeb.

It was inspiring to hear the origin story from AI Engineer co-founder Benjamin Dunphy. His vision of creating a global movement, not just an event, has clearly come to life. Partnering with Koyeb, an AI infrastructure company and one of Station F's top startups, was a brilliant move to ensure a high-signal, high-quality experience. As Yann Leger, @gokoyeb’s CEO, highlighted, with 70% of attendees coming from outside France, this truly feels like a global gathering.

Also, a welcome note came from Marwan Elfitesse, Head of Startup Programs at @joinstationf. He perfectly set the stage, reminding us that STATION F is a major AI hub, being the birthplace of alumni like @huggingface and home to the event's key organisers, Koyeb.

The keynote from @swyx​ (Shawn Wang), AIE co-founder, on the state of AI Engineering was a fantastic deep dive. He painted a clear picture of the future: we're in the midst of an "epic infrastructure buildout," and the next decade will be defined by building AI agents with memory, planning, trust, and orchestration. His breakdown of the emerging "LMOS" (LLM Operating System) and the open debates around evals vs. vibes, context engineering, and the need for fast agents gave us so much to think about.

Rounding out the evening, Lélio Renard Lavaud from @MistralAI AI offered a powerful perspective on enterprise adoption. He emphasised that overcoming challenges like data silos and observability is key, as well as governance, speed, and education. His talk was a great reminder that success isn't just about powerful models, but about building a robust "flywheel" to build, deploy, observe, and improve AI systems in the real world.

On a personal note, I met @marlene_zw again, the last time was #Pycon Nigeria in 2019. One of the earliest pioneers of African AI communities, and still inspiring today. It was wonderful reconnecting with her and so many other brilliant people here.

Huge congrats to the AI Engineer and Koyeb teams for bringing this community together. Looking forward to Day 2! If you’re here, say hi! I’d love to swap notes 😃

gpt-oss is a big deal; it is a state-of-the-art open-weights reasoning model, with strong real-world performance comparable to o4-mini, that you can run locally on your own computer (or phone with the smaller size). We believe this is the best and most usable open model in the world.

We're excited to make this model, the result of billions of dollars of research, available to the world to get AI into the hands of the most people possible. We believe far more good than bad will come from it; for example, gpt-oss-120b performs about as well as o3 on challenging health issues. We have worked hard to mitigate the most serious safety issues, especially around biosecurity. gpt-oss models perform comparably to our frontier models on internal safety benchmarks.

We believe in individual empowerment. Although we believe most people will want to use a convenient service like ChatGPT, people should be able to directly control and modify their own AI when they need to, and the privacy benefits are obvious.

As part of this, we are quite hopeful that this release will enable new kinds of research and the creation of new kinds of products. We expect a meaningful uptick in the rate of innovation in our field, and for many more people to do important work than were able to before.

OpenAI’s mission is to ensure AGI that benefits all of humanity. To that end, we are excited for the world to be building on an open AI stack created in the United States, based on democratic values, available for free to all and for wide benefit.
