Open source is the opposite of what every big AI lab is offering.

I was using the Cline CLI for the first time, and they offer the freedom you won't get with any of the proprietary agentic coding tools:

• It's open-source
• You aren't locked into a single model
• Bring your own API Key to use any model
• Over 5 million developers already use it
• Fastest-growing AI open-source project on GitHub

Even better:

Right now, you can use two of the best open source models for free: MiniMax M2.5 and Kimi K2.5.

To install it: npm install -g cline

Check out this exciting tutorial by PyMC’s Chris Fonnesbeck from PyData Virginia 2025 on Variational Inference, a scalable alternative to traditional MCMC methods in Bayesian modeling, trading exactness for speed while retaining the essence of Bayesian inference! https://t.co/nubvXyBHde

🙏 to all participants for an engaging session, and to @PyDataGlobal org team for the opportunity to host it!
My main takeaway: Gen AI is becoming a connective layer across the entire DS workflow. The challenge remains designing reliable workflows that amplify human expertise.

[OpenTeams® @openteamsinc]

The AI bubble that will burst is the business model, not the tech.

@teoliphant is a creator of the foundational packages that help make modern AI and machine learning possible. If you ask him if we’re in an AI bubble, the answer is "yes."

For Travis, the bubble is a misallocation of resources on a historic scale, fueled by a level of capital expenditure that is not justified by revenue.

The cutting-edge communities that make modern AI possible are big enough and strong enough to carry this technology forward. The only question is how much economic disruption this speculative detour will cause before we get back to the real work of building a distributed, transparent, and prosperous future for everyone.
