Open-source stacks enabled software to eat the world. Some of the most innovative companies in the world are working on building an open-source stack for AI.
Dan Jeffries was there when the LAMP stack enabled software to eat the world. Perhaps you don’t know, or remember, what the LAMP stack is, but it's actually pretty important.
LAMP is an acronym made out of the initials of key open-source technologies used in software development - Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. These technologies were hotly debated back in the day. Today, they are so successful that the LAMP stack has become ubiquitous, invisible, and boring.
AI, on the other hand, is a hot topic today. Just like the LAMP stack turned software development into a commodity and made it a bit boring (especially if you're not a professional software engineer), an AI stack should turn AI into a commodity - and make it a bit boring, except maybe for data engineers. This is what Dan Jeffries is out to do with the AI Infrastructure Alliance (AIIA).
