ollama · x · 2026-08-18
OpenHands, Ollama, Nvidia, and FriendliAI are hosting an event on Aug. 20 in SF to discuss how open models and autonomous agents are rewriting software engineering economics. As models like Kimi and GLM approach parity with closed alternatives at lower costs, the session will explore trade-offs in cost/latency, build-vs-buy calculus for SDLC, and how engineering orgs are rethinking their stacks.
