The New Stack speaks with Cloud Native Computing Foundation executive director Jonathan Bryce about the feedback loop between AI and open source, noting that OpenAI leaned on Kubernetes and other open source tooling in 2018 because nothing off the shelf could handle its training runs at that scale, and that AI labs have since contributed back so banks, manufacturers and others can build their own AI infrastructure. Bryce says the CNCF has accepted and moved products through its graduation process faster than ever over the past 18 months, in part because it has built agents to help with due diligence at the different stages, and argues that software now has to answer AI queries at agent speed rather than human pace while non-deterministic agents need guardrails. He frames the foundation’s KubeCon event in Salt Lake City in November as more important than ever for the community to determine the future of open source amid that acceleration.
The CNCF is graduating projects faster than ever. AI agents are helping with the due diligence.
