Upbound signed the Open Weights and American AI Leadership letter. Open weights decide who owns the model. A control layer decides who owns the fleet that runs it. Crossplane for cloud, Modelplane for inference. Read → aka.ms/OpenLetter

Rented intelligence is cheap until it isn't. Our Claude Code usage runs 13x the seat price, and Uber, Tesla, and Meta are all capping engineers now. Every ecosystem converges on a neutral control layer. Inference is next. That's @modelplaneai.bsky.social . → modelplane.ai/blog/ai-codi...

Anthropic is subsidizing our AI coding at 13x. How long will it last?

We measured what our team's Claude Code usage would cost at API prices. It runs about 13x our seat price on average, and 52x for our heaviest engineer. Here are the numbers, how we measure them, and t...

Cluster-level inference tooling is fine. It just doesn't help you orchestrate the GPUs you own. Nobody at scale runs one cluster. The fix: treat the ones you own as one pool. That's the fleet-level API we designed. How we built it → modelplane.ai/blog/how-we-...

@modelplaneai.bsky.social v0.2 is out: Nebius and @microsoft.com Azure AKS as cluster providers, weighted routing for safe rollouts, and cluster taints to reserve or drain capacity. Same declarative pattern as @crossplane.io, one layer up. Built in the open. → modelplane.ai/blog/modelpl...

Introducing @modelplaneai.bsky.social: the open source control plane for AI inference. Built on Crossplane, it operates your GPU fleet as a unified inference platform. Any model, any engine, any infra. In Early Development. We’re building in the open. Join us → modelplane.ai

Modelplane · The open source control plane for AI inference

Modelplane is the open source control plane for AI models. Deploy any model on any GPU infrastructure you own (cloud, neocloud, or on-premise) and let the control plane operate it continuously.

Cedar Policy joins the CNCF! 🚀 The cloud native community can now rely on a fast, safe, expressive, analyzable and formally verified authorization library when implementing access control🔓 This is a game-changer for implementing ACLs both safely & quickly aws.amazon.com/blogs/openso...

Fine-grained access control is hard to build. Cedar, a CNCF sandbox project, centralizes the complexity w/role-, relation-, and attribute-based models, a typed schema + editor hints, and analyzable policies. Learn how we push the boundaries of #Kubernetes control plane access controls. #KCD #CNCF

Google’s new report shows AI only works when your platform is strong. That’s why we built @crossplane.io and @upbound.io : declarative APIs for apps, platforms, and infra. Agentic AI depends on this. If your platform isn’t ready, your AI won’t be either. services.google.com/fh/files/mis...
