Developers are turning AI hype into production systems. Here’s how. Milvus, an LF AI & Data project, demonstrates how open source vector databases can make multimodal RAG applications enterprise-ready. From managing billions of embeddings to generating photorealistic content with models like Nano Banana, Milvus shows what’s possible when retrieval meets generation. 🔗 https://hubs.la/Q03QZyC20 #Milvus #LFAIData #OpenSourceAI #VectorSearch #GenerativeAI

💡 Did you know? AI adoption could increase productivity in APEC economies by up to $3.8 trillion USD by 2038. A new The Linux Foundation Research x Meta study reveals how open source AI empowers the region to innovate faster, strengthen SMEs, and compete globally, all while reflecting local values and languages. Explore how open models are shaping AI policy, driving workforce growth, and creating real-world impact in the Asia-Pacific. 👉 Download the report: https://hubs.la/Q03QQmxT0 #OpenSourceAI #LFResearch #APEC #AIEconomy #OpenInnovation #LFAIData

Great write-up on this year's report, "The State of Sovereign AI," from Irving Wladawsky-Bergerof Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sovereign AI ≠ go-it-alone. Our collaborative report with The Linux Foundation Research shows the path runs through open communities: transparency, auditability, customization—and collaboration across borders.

🚀 🇨🇭 Docling at the Swiss Python Summit tomorrow in beautiful Rapperswil! 🇨🇭🚀 If you’re a Python developer or AI enthusiast in the Zurich area, this is the event to join — a full day packed with talks, ideas, and community energy. Whether you’re into data, AI, or just love Python, you’ll find something inspiring here. 🎤 I’ll be presenting: “Docling: Get your documents ready for generative AI” 🕦 11:35 AM | Aula 4.101 | Day 2 — Data Science & More I’ll walk through Docling, our open-source Python package that transforms messy, complex documents — PDFs, Word, Excel, HTML, images — into structured, AI-ready data. It’s built to plug straight into your favorite frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, Crew AI, and Haystack, and runs fully locally for those working with sensitive or private data. We’ll also dive into GraniteDocling, our compact 258M parameter vision-language model that does end-to-end document conversion and captures layout, structure, and content — even tables, formulas, and code — with surprising accuracy. If you’re around Zurich, Rapperswil, or nearby, come join the Python community for a day of learning, great talks, and friendly networking. Let’s chat about AI, open source, and how we can make documents smarter together! - Conference: https://lnkd.in/esHTvpTK - Docling: https://lnkd.in/d4UT-6_2 - Model: https://lnkd.in/eBsC5Kjt - Demo: https://lnkd.in/e-pAJZHg #SwissPythonSummit #Python #Docling #AI #OpenSource #DocumentAI #GenerativeAI #DataScience #Zurich #Rapperswil
