I love enterprise technology and consumer tech. Data analytics and machine learning are the answer to enhance the user value for both.

[Torsten Volk @TorstenVolk]

Wow, watching @DeepnoteHQ iteratively solve problems defined in natural language, is fascinating. The resulting notebook shows a lot about how AI agents should work. #DataAnalytics #Notebooks #DataScience #Programming #AIAgents.

I had GPT4o draw a mindmap of all of the KubeCon sessions. It went well :-). #KubeCon #DataViz #MondayFunday

[Torsten Volk @TorstenVolk]

Diagram of #KubeCon 2024 topics in Salt Lake (based on the 419 session descriptions) -> Overarching topic is running the training and inference part of #LLMs on #Kubernetes clusters. Platform Engineering goes hand in hand with that topic and so does almost everything else, such as performance, security, APIs, data, etc. @esg_global

Very cool! #ChatGPT #Search

[Sam Altman @sama]

search is my favorite feature we have launched in chatgpt since the original the launch!

it has probably doubled my usage over the past few weeks.

RedHat brought out the big guns talking AI at today's analyst event. #RedHat #OpenShift #Platform #AI @esg_global

Granite 3 comes with #idemnification by IBM, which is interesting. => IBM will compoensate for any losses or damages that come from using Granite in a contract compliant manner -> IBM will cover the legal cost related to model usage. #TechXchange #RedHat #Granite #GenAI

[Joab Jackson @Joab_Jackson]

The cluster admin has limited visibility into what #eBPF programs are running on their systems. BPFMan can help with this challenge—@RedHat’s Andre Fredette and Billy McFall on their new @CloudNativeFdn sandbox project, which runs on a #K8s CRD #ato2024

[Torsten Volk @TorstenVolk]

"AI will come on site cause it's too expensive to run it all in the cloud" -> #RedHat analyst briefing. The new open source #Granite 3 model plays a big role here. -> Had some interesting chats at IBM #TechXchange on this topic. -> deserves its own blog post @esg_global @TechTarget #RHELAI

Not naming and shaming anyone, but AGAIN, having someone sign up for a free trial, answer a bunch of questions and then getting a "We will be in touch" message instead of access to the free trial, is not good for business.

The Grafana guys have come a long way from an un-opinionated dashboarding tool to an end-to-end cloud native observability platform.

[TechTarget News @TechTargetNews]

The latest new features from #observability specialist .@grafana include prebuilt applications and automation capabilities aimed at simplifying the use of the vendor's tools to appeal to a potentially broader audience.

Our article on the 4 pillars of effective AI-driven hybrid observability.

[Jim Frey @jfrey80]

AI is great. How can you effectively use it for observability in hybrid environments? You need to cover 4 requirements. Read more in my new blog with @TorstenVolk https://t.co/wlaH19Kat8

[Torsten Volk @TorstenVolk]

Can't wait to see the new #Granite 3 in action tomorrow at IBM TechXchange. Also want to look into their Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture and see where they are with #InstructLab. #TechXchange #IBMTechXchange #AI #AppMod #DevOps https://t.co/nlpF2W64Dc

[Torsten Volk @TorstenVolk]

unikernels are definitely worth looking into for cloud native an IoT. Need to take another look at use cases.

[NanoVMs @nanovms]

nanos unikernel up and running on openvmm - cool stuff @danielprilik @gigastarks !

#wasm in production for @java with Wasmo, @extism and #Chicory and Wasm4s—MAIF ‘s Etienne Anne and @SERLI’s Mathieu Ancelin during their talk « Server side WASM, le prochain game changer ? » at @devfestnantes (en français 🙂). #wasm @thenewstack

well, it was just unterminated. thanks...

@YouTube can you please unlock the premium account i'm paying for, haven't uploaded a video to in over a year, and have left maybe 2 or 3 brief and friendly comments over the previous decade. I mean, this is not an advertisement for Google's #AI...

[Torsten Volk @TorstenVolk]

Clear strategy at LogicMonitor -> "we are not going into DevOps, we focus on what we are best at" -> AI-driven hybrid cloud observability -> actionable insights -> next stop: automation #ITOps #AIOps #Observability @esg_global
