See you at SAO at CAIS 2026 on May 26 in San Jose. The workshop is focused on agent-first data systems, agents for data science and analytics, and the future of data systems. There's also the SAO happy hour after the workshop. bauplanlabs.github.io/SAO-workshop/

We had a great couple of days at Data Makers Fest 2026 in Porto from May 5–6. Toto presented a demo of otari.ai, while Davide Eynard (@aittalam.bsky.social) and Kevin Gallacio joined him at the booth for conversations around on-prem AI and LLM gateways. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth!

Open source AI can win by being easier to use. Most people need tools that are simple to install, maintain, and fit into everyday workflows. Mozilla.ai CEO @johnpdickerson.bsky.social will be speaking about this at AI Council 2026. See you there May 12–14: link.mozilla.ai/ai-council-2...

Octonous is now in open beta. The closed beta taught us a lot about where workplace friction actually lives: repeated context, scattered apps, unclear automation, and lack of control. Open beta adds memory, approval flows, model choice, and more integrations. Try it today: octonous.com

On Your Terms is a Mozilla.ai series exploring how AI should be built and used. First piece is a conversation with @johnpdickerson.bsky.social, CEO of Mozilla.ai, on sovereign AI across companies, communities, and individuals. See how to build around that: link.mozilla.ai/sovereign-ai

We’re heading to Data Makers Fest next week! We’ll be demoing otari.ai and will have a Mozilla.ai booth. One gateway for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and more. Your prompts stay private. Come by and see what we're building.

Guardrails in multiple languages require more than translation. They must detect threats across context and culture. Alinia brings that into any-guardrail. Learn more:

Running AI locally still takes more setup than people expect. llamafile keeps it simple. One file. Run it. You’re using the model. No Python. No Docker. Try it here: link.mozilla.ai/llamafile-repo

Last week we hosted an Octonous workshop in Berlin 🇩🇪 People brought real tasks and got hands-on with building. Thanks to everyone who joined and tried things out! Special thanks to Taisia Bekbulatova for capturing the event. More soon!

The more “clever” your model packaging is, the harder it is to understand what’s inside. Encoderfile now leans into a more “dull” format you can inspect and validate. That tradeoff matters more in production than it sounds. See how it works:

OpenAI's Agents SDK now includes any-llm as a built-in model adapter. Install and let your agents talk to Anthropic, Mistral, vLLM — whatever fits your needs. No rewiring. Choice-first stack in action. pip install openai-agents[any-llm]

We recently wrapped up an Octonous workshop in Berlin 🇩🇪 People came in with real tasks and left with working AI agents. From Slack briefings to a sales outreach assistant built live, the ideas got practical fast. Thanks to everyone who joined us. Keep your eyes peeled for the next one!

AI-assisted coding is now common. But teams still don’t know how code is created. That missing context affects reviews and learning. If you haven’t read this yet, learn more here:

Did you know we now have pre-built encoderfiles on Hugging Face? Run embedding models with no Python or ML dependencies. Download, run, and go. See it here: huggingface.co/mozilla-ai/e...

Meet Roya Pakzad, our newest Builder in Residence! Founder of Taraaz, she works at the intersection of human rights and AI. At Mozilla.ai, she’s building guardrails for AI systems with agentic capabilities and testing them across languages and contexts.

any-llm gives you one way to talk to different LLMs. ✅ Run a model in the cloud. ✅ Switch it to local. ✅ Keep your code mostly the same. Just a few lines change. Watch how you switch between setups: link.mozilla.ai/any-llm-demo

any-llm in action across three tools: • JupyterLite AI: connect once, access multiple providers • LangChain: swap models with a string • Headroom: optimize context and keep provider choice Each one shows a different part of the same idea. Full breakdown: link.mozilla.ai/any-llm-inte...

GitHub looked fine. The package wasn’t. That’s where the LiteLLM attack happened. If you’re switching, any-llm is a drop-in replacement for OpenAI-compatible proxies. And if you haven’t read our piece on this yet, read it here: link.mozilla.ai/hardening-yo...

Most teams don’t lose time on hard work. They lose it on repeat work. Slack updates. Sheets. Daily emails. Describe it once in plain language. Octonous builds it and runs it. Works across the tools you already use. Watch the demo: youtu.be/gkQc0lQur-k

One week until we’re in Berlin 🇩🇪 On April 21st, join us in person for an Octonous workshop. Build AI agents for real work. Bring a task. Leave with a working AI agent. Spots are filling up. 🐙 Join here: link.mozilla.ai/octonous-ber...

Agents run into the same issues over and over. 1k GitHub stars in, that pattern keeps showing up. cq is shared memory for agents so they don’t have to relearn everything each time: link.mozilla.ai/cq-repo

Agent memory is the new moat. It needs to be open. Earlier last month we wrapped the Global Portable Memory Workshop with @gatesfoundation.org @aws.amazon.com @mozilla.org @slalom.com @hai.stanford.edu @anthropic.com. #PortableMemory #AgenticAI #OpenSource
