Have an AI track focused on how to use AI to improve OSS software instead of how to run LLama on RISC-V.

Invite the open source developpers behind popular OSS AI frameworks such as opencode, etc.

Invite talkers from large companies that produce open source software and models such as Mistral.AI

Invite talkers from companies that run OSS LLMs at scale such as groq

Invite the people who build drones in Ukraine, (probably the most succesful open hardware story to date). Have drone building workshops / drone piloting stands

It's been ~three years now we've been hearing about "AI" non-stop. Am a bit tired of it to be honest.

But the AI talked about 3 years ago are not the same kind of projects that are being talked about today. It's rapidly evolving. There is a lot of new scope available for new open source projects to take. This isn't open source reimplementing the same thing for 3 years straight.

[fvdessen]

It is extremely exhausting, but it's also the biggest change in tech since the invention of the internet. It don't think it can be ignored.

"open source software and models such as Mistral.AI"

No training data -> not "open source"

No code for the training -> not "open source"

Like this AI track? What more do you want?

Sounds good! You should propose to give that talk next year.

Anyone can propose a devroom for FOSDEM, I hope you'll do it next year :)

[fvdessen]

Yes, maybe I should.
