We have room S326. S building is next to Santafe's bookstore.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

IBM recently announced the Granite 4.0 family of small language models. The model family aims to deliver faster speeds and significantly lower operational costs at acceptable accuracy vs. larger models. Granite 4.0 features a new hybrid Mamba/transformer architecture that largely reduces memory requirements, enabling Granite to run on significantly cheaper GPUs and at significantly reduced costs.

Generative AI technologies need to support new workloads, traffic patterns, and infrastructure demands and require a new set of tools for the age of GenAI. Erica Hughberg from Tetrate and Alexa Griffith from Bloomberg spoke last week at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025 Conference about what it takes to build GenAI platforms capable of serving model inference at scale.

Wes Reisz discusses an experiment to deliver a QCon certification using a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture and supervised coding agents (Claude Sonnet/Cursor). He breaks down the 4-week serverless video transcription pipeline, RAG variations (hybrid, graph), and the process of structuring prompts for 95% AI-generated code.

LMArena has launched Code Arena, a new evaluation platform that measures AI models' performance in building complete applications instead of just generating code snippets. It emphasizes agentic behavior, allowing models to plan, scaffold, iterate, and refine code within controlled environments that replicate actual development workflows.
