In the fast-paced, constantly evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), you might expect there to be a well-defined standard for something as critical as model documentation. Yet, the current reality is far from expectation. While AI model documentation tools like Model Cards were meant to streamline accountability and transparency, we’ve instead landed in a fragmented space that lacks consistency.

In the world of AI/ML there are a lot of puff pieces singing the latest technical innovation. Most of the time, these innovations aren’t being used outside of a cadre of scientists who have adopted. In contrast, we put together this article to share how a real user at a real company is using KitOps - and explain, in stark terms, why KitOps is the only solution that meets their needs. The Folly of TARs and S3First, let's address the elephant in the room: TAR files.

Environmental changes have always been catalysts for evolutionary shifts. The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT has ignited the birth of a new technological ecosystem. But, as with any seismic change, the initial response is often wildly exaggerated, driven by those who don't fully grasp the nuances—a phenomenon we now dub the AI Hype.

The benefits that AI will bring to enterprises will manifest as a gradual transformation rather than a sudden change. Much like transformative technologies of the past, such as cloud computing, mobile, or the internet, organizations that can integrate these technologies at a fundamental level will see significant advantages. Similar to its predecessors, AI as a transformative technology requires infrastructure, tooling, and practices to support its adoption.

ModelKits, much like other OCI artifacts, can be identified using tags that are comprehensible to humans. This blog explores various strategies for effectively tagging your ModelKits. Multiple tagsA ModelKit can carry multiple tags and that is for a good reason. When you create a ModelKit, you typically want to have a tag that identifies its contents. For instance llama-2:7b-chat-q8_0 where 7b-chat-q8_0 tells the parameter size, variant and quantization of the llama2 model.

Those who have been in the field for a while might recall when data scientists began to participate in projects, raising questions about collaboration with application development teams. The development teams that were already established in their workflows used Git, had an elaborate CI/CD pipeline and could deploy to production at will. However, these teams had no clear strategy for collaborating with data scientists, who were often preoccupied with pressing feature developments.

It’s an institution. Every month more than 100 million people visit Stack Exchange sites — with over 22 million visiting Stack Overflow for its programming-related content. But with the recent success of ChatGPT, it has been feeling the competitive pressures. So after 16 years, the company is trying something brand new — another way to solicit helpful information outside of the site’s long-standing question-and-answer format.

Ah, the underscore, the “_” that connects multiple words when a blank space. A character that can mean nothing and something all at the same time. Once upon a time, I used underscores in Linux file names, like image_1.jpg or test_file.txt. That was back when spaces in file names could wreak havoc within the command line. Although things have changed with that, I still use the underscore now and then.
