Google Announces Gemma 4 Open AI Models, Switches To Apache 2.0 License

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Google's Gemini AI models have improved by leaps and bounds over the past year, but you can only use Gemini on Google's terms. The company's Gemma open-weight models have provided more freedom, but Gemma 3, which launched over a year ago, is getting a bit long in the tooth.

Pull request открыл — стенд появился. Закрыл — исчез. Эфемерные окружения в kubernetes через FluxCD

Когда несколько разработчиков хотят одновременно показать свои изменения — локальной разработки уже недостаточно. В статье разбираем, как автоматически поднимать изолированные окружения в Kubernetes по PR с лейблом и так же автоматически удалять их при закрытии.Реализация построена на FluxCD с использованием директивы postBuild для шаблонизации манифестов через переменные. Каждое окружение получает собственный namespace, базу данных, TLS‑сертификат и уникальный URL — и всё это без ручного вмешательства. Раз Read more
