36h trip to Amsterdam for AGNTCon . Double red-eye. Just practice for @HackTheNorth.
If I'm judging a 36-hour hackathon where everyone's pulling all-nighters, only fair I show up having done my own 🤣
Come find me — I'll be the one with the extra large coffee.
Astra launch is genius positioning. Model is clearly an advance in coding,etc.. but the marketing, demos and public videos showcase computer-use.. (while never mentioning it by name)
Agents are making the news for escaping sandboxes so we asked @ealeyner, VP Product Strategy at @Docker, what it takes to contain an agent.
His answer, in summary, is it requires defense in depth. Worth a listen if you're looking to put your agent in a box and keep it there.
"A developer has morals. It's very difficult to argue that an agent does."
@vtahowe & @ianlivingstone (@KeycardAI) @ealeyner (Docker), and Ezra Tanzer (@snyksec) on agent identity, delegation patterns and what real governance looks like when agents are delegating work to other agents:

Big day for Ollama! When we started, open models and the open source AI ecosystem were in their early days with few believers.
Our belief in open source has never wavered.
With today's fundraising announcement and our 9M+ active builders, we’re ready to scale open models into AI that you can own.
All aboard open models!

Amar has been the quiet GOAT of the Toronto ecosystem for many years! Lucky to be able to call @avarma for his advice - he always picks up, cares and dispenses wisdom generously. Thank you for your friendship @avarma and for all you do.
For years, @avarma has been one of the most important people in Toronto tech without many outside the ecosystem fully understanding why.
He helped build Xtreme Labs. Autonomic sold to Ford. Xtreme’s story even brushes up against Tinder.
He has been described as “sort of the king of Toronto.” Others put it more bluntly: “What people don’t realize is that he was carrying Toronto and KW tech on his back.”
Now, with Mantle, he is building again.

This is exactly what I wrote about.
Jews are being targeted simply because they are Jewish. Not politics. Not policy. Just identity.
If that doesn’t alarm you, you’re not paying attention. Or you’re choosing not to.

The synagogue I attended as a boy and youth, where I was bar mitzvah'd and received my primary Jewish education, now under gunfire in once-peaceable North York, Ontario.
Introducing Oz: the platform to orchestrate agents in the cloud.
Spin up hundreds of agents from your terminal, browser, the API, or your phone. Each agent gets a @docker environment to build, test, and write PRs.
Come back from your lunch break to code that’s ready to merge.
Do you leave your unlocked laptop unattended at a coffee shops?
Yet, this is what we do when we run AI agents in yolo mode..

Exciting launch from @e2b! MCP as code, made easy, out of the box.
Tutorial for using E2B’s code MCP feature with @GroqInc in <60 lines of code as reply below!
Docker is excited to partner with @e2b, a platform for running AI-generated code in secure cloud sandboxes.
Docker + E2B now gives AI agents access to real tools (GitHub, Perplexity, Browserbase) in secure sandboxes via the MCP Catalog.
Spending time at Canadian Tech @ Scale event today. Lots of talk about "AI First" mindsets, Adopting AI Tooling, yet AI in "prod" is relegated to chatbots and back-end processing..
Will Kate Soule and my talk #IBMTechXchange be the only session on AI? I think not - but I hope it would be one of the most practical. Come join us tomorrow
