Be careful with ‘open source’ AI
Bill Doerrfeld | August 20, 2024
For the last few months, I've been looking into open source AI — the confusion around defining 'open source' AI, the potential risks or issues with restrictive licenses, the performance differences across open LLMs, and so on. I think this is a fascinating and (murky world) with many ripple effects for developers.
My latest article on LeadDev looks into open source AI and tries to make some sense for engineering leaders on how to approach it. There are some great gems here on how to evaluate and safely use open-source AI.
There's definitely more to be said about the state of AI, and I'm excited to follow this space.
How do you fail at platform engineering? Make it 100% UI-first. Don't market it. Survey no one. Measure success by who's onboarded. And just copy what others are doing.
This year's Platform Summit felt reinvigorated, with many new motivations and areas to discuss. Of course, AI agents and MCP stole the show.
For my latest DirectorPlus edition, I interviewed Thomas Johnson, co-founder and CTO of Multiplayer, about lessons learned releasing their MCP server.

Join me in Stockholm for Platform Summit 2025 and the API Security UnConference, October 13–15. Exciting talks, networking, and more.
MCP shines for indeterministic workflows, novel integrations, and giving AI coding agents context on the fly. But for more predictable automation it may be overengineeering.
For my latest DirectorPlus column with LeadDev, I synced with JB Brown, VP of engineering at Smartsheet, to learn about their multi-agent AI development strategy.
Alternative clouds are having a moment. Nearly 75% of orgs are using two or more alt clouds beyond the hyperscalers, according to a HostingAdvice.com report.
The cloud is no longer borderless. Rising regional data laws and sovereign cloud mandates are forcing CIOs to act.
In a multi-agent coding workflow, an engineer leads a "team" of specialist AI agents to perform various SDLC tasks: scaffolding, coding, testing, log analysis, deployment, and more.
