Debian Inference Portal Launches To Provide Free AI/LLM Inferencing To Debian Developers

Phoronix reports that Scaleway is funding the new Debian Inference Portal, giving Debian contributors self-service access to AI/LLM inferencing at inference.debian.net. Scaleway sponsors a fixed monthly pool of credits with a weekly budget allocated per user, and access requires a Debian Salsa account held by a Debian Developer or Debian Maintainer. The service can be used for packaging, bug triage, fixes, tooling, and documentation, and follows Debian's vote to allow responsible use of generative AI.
