🔥 @golang just became the most-used language on @googlecloud.
Java is close behind (on raw SDK API requests). Fastest growing? Python, Rust, C++, JS, and C# adding users and SDK requests rapidly.
Install the Go SDK (github.com/googleapis/google…), along with Genkit Go, and ADK Go!

Hugo now has a Mastodon account:

We have (temporarily I hope) lost access to our Twitter account @GoHugoIO (we forgot who created that account). If you have any tips on how to fix that, PM/mail me.

There is no such thing as Open Source AI.
Why? Because Open Source was invented explicitly for software source code… and Neural Net Weights (NNWs) are not software source code — they are unreadable by humans, nor are they debuggable.
Furthermore, the fundamental rights of Open Source also don’t translate over to NNWs in any congruent manner.
Why is pointing out this fact so important?
Actually, it is extremely important given that we are potentially on the precipice of government regulation of computation.
If “Open”AI succeeds at regulating intelligence, current Open Source licenses (MIT / Apache) which are sloppily (no current better options) applied to NNWs will not stand on defensible legal grounds.
Therefore, we urgently need to standardize as an industry on the following:
“Open Weights” licensing frameworks with rights similar to the founding Four Freedoms of Open Source — but purpose built and designed for NNWs.
I’ll be working on this with my partner @HeatherMeeker4 (the worlds leading open source IP / licensing attorney) and others. Contributions welcome!
