Stop by the Google Community Lounge at #AllThingsOpen! ☕
It’s the place to recharge, network, and chat with members of the @FlutterDev team. Drop by to say hi and talk all things open source!
Where’s the futuristic app we were promised?
Don’t miss Google's keynote at #AllThingsOpen: "Where Is My Futuristic App? Generative UI and the Open Future" with @redbrogdon, @marktechson & @muncus!
Framework Highlight: LiteRT ⚡️
The Google Gemma Hardware Hackathon @ AGI House.
Great models need a framework that brings them to your device. Meet LiteRT, Google’s framework for high-performance on-device AI.
At the hackathon, explore how LiteRT can help you turn a Gemma-powered idea into a working local application:
• Run Gemma with LiteRT-LM across edge platforms: developers.google.com/edge/l…
• Ready-to-use models for high-performance on-device deployment: huggingface.co/litert-commun…
• Explore hardware acceleration on supported devices: developers.google.com/edge/l…
From offline assistants to intelligent edge devices—what will you build?
🎁Best Use of LiteRT: $15,000
Sponsored by Google AI Edge, this award is part of the event’s $45,000 cash prize pool, alongside partner hardware awards.
Join 100 selected builders, the @GoogleDeepMind Gemma team, and hardware partners for a full day of hands-on building. Every project must use a Gemma-based model and run entirely on-device.

Read how Docsy (used by 2,200+ projects including Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry & gRPC) is evolving for both human developers and AI agents: thenewstack.io/docsy-linux-f…
"Open source projects work best when they are close to the users."
@emckean spoke with @thenewstack on Docsy joining @linuxfoundation—plus how llms.txt & agent-friendly doc scores reduce maintainer toil.
