This could be fun! Invite @ggerganov and we'll have the hottest discussion that Cool Chips wouldn't handle 😅
I would pay a lot of to have @clattner_llvm & @__tinygrad__ geohot on a panel discussing these fundamental design choices. They are the only two in the space. In fact - on the oft chance you guys are in town for Hot Chips - may be we can do it over at luma.com/w7a35hps ?

If y'all happen to be @ hotchips.org/ and are interested in open source silicon and agentic RTL development 10xEngineers, @OpenHWFdn and @AIFoundryorg are organizing a closing event where a LOT of that is going to get discussed. Please RT!

The level of crazy experimentation on this @AIFoundryorg @OpenHWFdn and @huggingface hackathon was absolutely mind-blowing -- the level of long terms collaboration it forged doubly so.
Really reminded me of some early days of the @FFmpeg hackers:

We've spent a lot of times talking to companies in the physical AI space (LOTs of drones!) and the supply chain ecosystem that emerges is not your gramps' chip vendor industry - the lines are being redrawn fast!
@Ainekk0 we're re-drawing some of them:

Super excited to launch this hackathon to port AI models direct to bare silicon!
Its is a community hackathon for people who want to make open AI workloads run closer to the edge: vision, speech, audio, local language models, robotics, drones, and weird benchmark ideas that deserve to touch hardware.

We've been cooking something for a while with @huggingface, @AIFoundryorg and @OpenHWFdn and now the wait is over!🤗
Port open AI models. Run them on open hardware. No sucky 3rd party specialized toolchains - just agents! HF is your model zoo!

This is what the future of RTL development looks like to me github.com/openhwgroup/core-…
Thanks to @tlbflush agentic system -- this all was cooked semi-automatically (but now of course as a human I still have to eyeball it for high-order bit violations)

Look who got featured @LatchUpConf OpenHW presentation
Big announcement is coming on Monday too!

Fun project of the week: github.com/glguida/agentws where I create a git-friendly way to instruct and coordinate a pool of agents on long term jobs, with repository specific roles. As a success story, one of my projects (github.com/glguida/tpa) was completely cleaned up and fixed from a vibecoded mess autonomously, and the git commit shows that and the agent processes. I used pi.dev, because claude and codex were too cool to follow rules.
Every time we do #AIPlumbers events we make sure to film a couple of podcasts that translate the vibes of the conversations happening in the hallway track. Happy to have @ben_burtenshaw and @huggingface at FOSDEM Fringe 💥
new video on @huggingface youtube where I deep dive into how the kernels community makes it easier to build and use optimized kernels.
if you don't know, optimized kernels squeeze more out of hardware by adapting the operation with CUDA or C code.
they can be complex to build and distribute, sometimes requiring hours to install. the kernels community takes this down to a few seconds.
thanks to AIFoundry.org for hosting the event and making the video.

Open-source AI stack startup @Ainekk0 and MRAM startup Veevx have merged! The combined company will gain Veevx's hardware team and its MRAM technology, already on the open-source tapeout Ainekko is working on:
eetimes.com/ainekko-merges-w…
We saved the best for last 😅 But really that seems to be a hot topic at the upcoming #FOSDEM, some community talks as well, i.e "Zero to matmul with the ET-SoC-1»! And some announcements on making ET platform even more open - from RTL to tape out!
Stay tuned!
Before @tlbflush updates us with new discoveries of working with open silicon platform (i.e. ET platform) at #FOSDEM2026 #AIPlumbers Devroom, watch the first ever talk introducing it all!
blog.aifoundry.org/p/introdu…
#FOSDEM is almost here! #AIPlumbers #Devroom returns for the 2nd time on Sat, Jan 31. 80+ submissions this year — picking talks was painful😅Inference frameworks, model mgmt, compilers, quantization, open HW optimizations, schedule here: fosdem.org/2026/schedule/tra…
This #AIPlumbers talk showcased production-grade engineering: from offline performance configurators that find optimal cluster layouts, to dynamic K8s scheduling that understands physical GPU topology, coordinated multi-GPU serving, etc. Lot's of clever tricks 👀
Watch video from #AIPlumbers SF Edition presentation by @nvidia team on DYNAMO: Serving LLMs at AI-Factory Scale! And also really hope to hear more at #FOSDEM26 - don’t miss it!
open.substack.com/pub/aifoun…
🚨🚨🚨 There are only 5 DAYS LEFT TO APPLY TO SPEAK AT #FOSDEM26! If you have an #opensource project, doesn't matter if it's your hobby project or a company, and you want people to know about it. SUBMIT YOUR TALK here: pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-20…
Now that @Ainekk0 is officially out of stealth and more and more people are curious about our open source effort @AIFoundryorg (btw, welcome to our github and discord) it's time for proper introduction!

Many thanks to @sallywf for capturing our ethos and aspirations perfectly!
It truly takes a village to build the future of Open Source Edge AI compute platform.
Join us! Especially looking forward to @jzemlin and @linuxfoundation conversations to figure out the governance.
Ainekko has bought failed AI chip startup Esperanto's hardware and software IP and is open-sourcing it! I spoke to Ainekko's cofounders to find out why they've decided to buy the IP, what they want to do with it, and why open-sourcing it is a priority:

this might be the most cutting-edge chip design ever to be open sourced!

#FOSDEM26 is coming! Hurry up - submit your talk! Call for papers closes on Monday, 1 Dec 2025 CET (there will be no extensions!) Our DevRoom is called #AIPlumbers (surprise 😅)

Ainekko is hiring firmware developers, simulator experts, and programmers familiar with RISC-V and custom vector and tensor extensions for numerical algorithms.
What you’d be joining is an incredible hardware startup with a system view of what a compute platform should look like, from hardware design to the highest levels of the software stack.
Yes, we’re working on AI, and we’re open source.
The team is distributed, with headquarters in San Francisco.
If you’re interested, DM me.
