When two engineers sit down for a conversation, it rarely stays on the surface. Unfortunately you can’t really film all of the conversations over beer or in a hallway track. For those who missed it at FOSDEM we have sneaked out during AI Plumbers fringe event to film some of those unscripted discussions. Tune in if you enjoy hearing people who speak your language.
1:00 — Felix’ background and big start in the world in OpenBLAS and Formula1
1:53 — Engineers having a real job in AI, finally!
2:50 — Open source plays a major role in fostering discussions like this and for people arguing about compilers
3:17 — “When you build something, you want it to be the best” - that’s the honesty OSS gives you
4:20 — A place to think about end-to-end problems - putting all the parts of the puzzle together
5:06 — The most mind-blowing CPU architecture for Felix
6:30 — Applying AI to chip development
7:33 — What are compiler friends talking about
8:32 — “Machines building machines” = AI driven silicon design
9:03 — “Eating your own dog food” and doing it in open source
Felix’s insights are both experienced and bold — a reminder that if you’re building, build to be the best. Share with fellow nerds who love thinking at this level.
