Some people are not quiet in meetings because they have nothing to say.

«Самые прекрасные решения, основанные на анализе огромного количества данных и обещающие миллионы рублей экономии, будут бесполезны, если клиент или его бизнес не будут способны их внедрить».Такой вывод мы сделали после анализа нескольких проектов, которые так и не вышли на финишную прямую. Ниже — детальная история одного из них. Она началась с публичного скандала, продолжилась подписанием трёхстороннего договора на бесплатные работы, а закончилась чувством облегчения от провала.

AI inference на K8s: как выживать с LLM в кубере. DRA, GIE, LLM-D

Для многих обывателей, да и инженеров, которые не углублялись в тему, работа с LLM выглядит как работа с обычным сервисом: мы просто кидаем запросы по нужному endpoint и получаем JSON с ответом. Но на деле появляется много вопросов: как здесь работает кэш? От чего зависит время ответа? Что делать с огромным контекстным окном? И если у нас один GPU-сервер, на котором происходят все вычисления, то это не так и важно.... Read more

Rust Will Save Linux From AI, Says Greg Kroah-Hartman

Linux stable kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman says Rust can help Linux deal with a flood of AI-discovered security bugs (namely Dirty Frag, Copy Fail, and Fragnesia) by preventing common C mistakes around memory, locking, error handling, and untrusted data at build time rather than during human review. It's "not a silver bullet" and does not mean rewriting the whole kernel, but he said new drivers and subsystems will increasingly use... Read more
