Steve Blazevich shared thisAnaconda, Inc. just closed a gap that came up in nearly every enterprise conversation I've had this year. Customers trust Anaconda as the foundation for AI development. What they've been asking for is a governed, reproducible path from that foundation all the way to production. Today, that path exists. Outerbounds brings the orchestration layer, the workflow execution, and the production deployment infrastructure. Anaconda brings the trusted packages, dependencies, and environments. Together, it's the full lifecycle. Read what this means for enterprise AI development: https://bit.ly/4t2PJDC

Steve Blazevich shared thisIn the current state of local AI development, capable tools each handle a piece of the problem, but you’re left to navigate complicated integration. Anaconda Desktop, now in public beta, fills the gap. Built on the same infrastructure the Python community has trusted for over a decade, Anaconda Desktop brings model discovery, local inference, and conda environment management into a single application.

Steve Blazevich reposted thisSteve Blazevich reposted thisToday, Anaconda acquired Outerbounds, the team that created Metaflow, the open-source ML/AI orchestration framework originally built at Netflix. AI is redefining how software is built: the AI system becomes the core, and software becomes the artifact built around it. Developers are still directing this work, setting intent, reviewing output, and making architectural decisions, but the volume of code flowing through enterprise pipelines has grown far beyond what any team can manually verify. That changes the central question from who writes the code to what it is built on, and the answer has to be a trusted foundation that both humans and agents share. Anaconda was built to address this issue, enabling data experimentation, providing trusted open source packages and models, and handling advanced computing at scale. Now, Outerbounds closes the final gap, adding the orchestration layer above Anaconda’s foundation: ✅ Workflow execution ✅ Scalable experiments ✅ Governed deployments ✅ Full asset tracking ✅ Cost reporting 🐍 Explore how the two platforms together cover the full AI-native development lifecycle: https://bit.ly/41Yl3IP

Steve Blazevich reposted thisYou can now leverage our trusted distribution through our new Anaconda, Inc. MCP server. Being secure-by-default is critical when leveraging agents and our trusted Python packages enable organizations to securely build AI-native applications that scale.Steve Blazevich reposted thisAI coding assistants often guess your setup, recommending packages you don’t need or ignoring environments you’ve already created. With Anaconda MCP Server, Claude can actually see your machine, create environments with the right tools, and review what’s installed across projects.

Steve Blazevich shared thisI keep seeing teams invest heavily in AI pilots that never make it to production, and it’s rarely about the model itself. This on-demand session from Anaconda, Inc. Field CTO Steve Croce does a great job breaking down where things actually go wrong, from infrastructure gaps to overlooked testing and governance. Get your AI projects across the finish line:Steve Blazevich shared this95% of AI pilots never reach production. Not because of weak models, but due to gaps in infrastructure, governance, and execution. In this on-demand session, Anaconda Field CTO Steve Croce shares → Common mistakes teams make → A practical framework for building production-ready AI → Why testing and measurement matter more than model choice for long-term success Watch now: https://bit.ly/3PIsEIF

Steve Blazevich shared thisThe LiteLLM supply chain attack is a wake-up call for everyone building with open source AI — you don't have to install a compromised package to be exposed, you just have to depend on something that did. This is exactly why supply chain visibility can't be an afterthought. Anaconda, Inc. is built around this reality: securing open source AI by default, so teams can build with confidence instead of scrambling after the fact. Worth a read if you work with Python packages in any capacity.Steve Blazevich shared thisThe LiteLLM supply chain attack this week deserves more than a headline read. Here's what actually happened: TeamPCP, a cybercriminal group active since late 2025, compromised two versions of a widely-used PyPI package — versions live for under an hour — that could exfiltrate SSH keys, cloud credentials, CI/CD secrets, API keys, and more. Not just from direct installs, but from any project carrying LiteLLM anywhere in its dependency tree. That's the part worth sitting with. You didn't have to install the package, you just had to depend on something that did. This is the defining challenge of modern open source development. The same interconnectedness that makes the ecosystem so powerful, the ability to build on the work of millions, is what makes supply chain attacks so difficult to defend against. The blast radius of a single compromised package can extend silently across thousands of projects before anyone knows something is wrong. What this incident reinforces for every team building with open source AI: ✅ Know your full dependency tree — not just the packages you chose, but everything they pull in ✅ Rotate immediately if you ran LiteLLM 1.82.7 or 1.82.8 — SSH keys, cloud tokens, CI/CD secrets, API keys, crypto wallets ✅ Monitor for anomalous behavior at install time — in this case, a RAM crash was the only signal ✅ Treat supply chain visibility as ongoing infrastructure, not a point-in-time audit The open source ecosystem is worth protecting. That starts with understanding how attacks like this actually work. Highly recommend checking out Help Net Security's great reporting on this: https://bit.ly/3PpCuz1 #LiteLLM #PyPILiteLLM PyPI packages compromised in expanding TeamPCP supply chain attacks - Help Net SecurityLiteLLM PyPI packages compromised in expanding TeamPCP supply chain attacks - Help Net Security

Steve Blazevich liked thisSteve Blazevich liked thisFive weeks across the globe. Dozens of customer conversations, and 30+ miles from the trade show floors at NVIDIA GTC and RSAC Conference. I came back from my March travels with a lot of notes. But one theme kept surfacing in almost every room. The economics of AI are breaking for enterprises. Token usage is going up, driving up costs and shifting billing tiers. What started as a predictable, per user, line item is becoming an unpredictable liability. And teams are starting to make architectural decisions — self-hosting models, open-weight models for easier customization, tighter scoping of where frontier models actually get used — because current pricing tiers are no longer working for them. I spoke with The Verge about exactly this, and what I was hearing on the ground. Honestly, the pattern was striking enough that I kept expecting someone to tell me they had a different story…but nobody did. It’s interesting to see how companies are approaching this, rethinking where what model type actually belongs in their stack. Check out Hayden Fields great reporting here: 📷: The Verge

Steve Blazevich liked thisSteve Blazevich liked thisAfter a fast and rewarding start to 2026 filled with incredible events, meaningful partner and customer conversations, I took a full week off. I stayed loosely connected, but I didn’t work all day, every day. Instead, I leaned into what is arguably my most important role: Mom. Unplugging and being fully present isn’t something that comes naturally to me but it’s something I’m actively working on. Last week was a refreshing reminder of how important that balance really is. Now, feeling recharged and excited for what’s ahead, especially as we launch the Experience-Based Acceleration (EBA) Partner Funding Program later this week. The momentum continues 🚀

Liquibase
Terraform provisions Snowflake. That does not solve the harder problem of governing schema and control plane change over time. As Snowflake takes on a bigger role in analytics, data products, and AI, teams need more than provisioning. Our latest post breaks down where Terraform fits, where Liquibase Secure fits, and why provisioning is not enough.

Starburst has always believed in providing customers with the freedom of choice. Nowhere is this more true than the emerging developments around interoperable compute among data platforms. Recently, I sat down with Snowflake’s Ryan C. Green to talk about the Open Semantic Interchange (OSI), an open, vendor-neutral standard for sharing semantic models across AI, BI, and analytics tools. OSI gives customers a common, open way to define and share business metrics. This helps them stay consistent across dashboards, notebooks, and machine learning models, no matter which tools they use. For Starburst, this furthers one of our core goals. Choice. Customers should be able to keep one trusted set of business definitions inside their Snowflake environment while still having the freedom to choose the tools that work best for them. OSI helps make that possible. It marks an important step in bringing Starburst’s engine to Snowflake-interoperable compute. The video from my chat with Ryan is coming soon 👀 In the meantime, you can get more details from our recent press release: https://lnkd.in/ev2XGB4u #OpenSemanticInterchange #OSI #Interoperability #AI #Data #Snowflake #Starburst
