I’m using agents in Claude cli and Kiro cli to answer what if. Previously, we could never go chase down all the questions in our heads due to lack of time and energy. Today, I’m building things only to see what happens. If I don’t like the outcome, I build another thing. Feels like a super power.

Bill Kennedy at FOSDEM'26: Directly Integrating LLM Models into Go Applications YouTube video by Ardan Labs

🤖Go developers: want to run LLMs locally and build AI features directly into your apps?

Watch @goinggo.net at @fosdem.org ’26 show how to run hardware-accelerated local inference using llama.cpp, directly integrated into Go applications.

did something very silly, may have some at gophercon this year if you ever sent us a vulnerability report or contributed to Go crypto (or are just nice to me)

thanks to @ljamesart.bsky.social who did the great art!

On my way to Brazil for the @ardanlabs Connect Event! #golang

Two days of training (Ultimate Software Design and Private AI). Plus a meetup!

Stay tuned 👋

The Kronk Model server has a Model Playground that will identify what are the best model and sampling paramaters to use for a given model on your machine. You can also do a quick test for a model, including tool calling and template processing. #golang

Kronk User Manual Complete guide to running models with the Kronk SDK and model server.

Spent the day reviewing and revising the Kronk Manual. It's in good shape right now. #golang

Will be in Brazil this week teaching Ultimate Service and Ultimate Private AI at the ArdanLabs Connect 2026 event.

Navigating Hugging Face for Kronk Learn how to find the right GGUF models on Hugging Face and decipher the acronyms—from Q8_K to UD-Q6_K_XL—so you can run the best models for your hardware.

Changed my mind on using `UD` labeled models over their `_0` counterparts. Read why.
