Everybody is talking about (and with) ChatGPT. I tried it and was impressed by how well the language model behaves and finally how real and humanly it appears, despite the obvious nonsense that it outputs. I was wondering how machine learning practically works and how to build a neural network.

Project Description

Learn about AI, ML, neural networks and get a better idea on limitations, risks and opportunities.

Goal for this Hackweek

Understand the concepts, create a demo case for machine learning with OS software.

Resources

Needs time in the first place to view documentation, and probably a Cray EX235a towards the end of the week :-)

Looking for hackers with the skills:

    ghostwrAIter - a local AI assisted tool for helping with support cases by paolodepa

    Description

    This project is meant to fight the loneliness of the support team members, providing them an AI assistant (hopefully) capable of scraping supportconfigs in a RAG fashion, trying to answer specific questions.

    Goals

    • Setup an Ollama backend, spinning one (or more??) code-focused LLMs selected by license, performance and quality of the results between:
    • Setup a Web UI for it, choosing an easily extensible and customizable option between:
    • Extend the solution in order to be able to:
      • Add ZIU/Concord shared folders to its RAG context
      • Add BZ cases, splitted in comments to its RAG context
        • A plus would be to login using the IDP portal to ghostwrAIter itself and use the same credentials to query BZ
      • Add specific packages picking them from IBS repos
        • A plus would be to login using the IDP portal to ghostwrAIter itself and use the same credentials to query IBS
        • A plus would be to desume the packages of interest and the right channel and version to be picked from the added BZ cases


    COOTWbot by ngetahun

    Project Description

    At SCC, we have a rotating task of COOTW (Commanding Office of the Week). This task involves responding to customer requests from jira and slack help channels, monitoring production systems and doing small chores. Usually, we have documentation to help the COOTW answer questions and quickly find fixes. Most of these are distributed across github, trello and SUSE Support documentation. The aim of this project is to explore the magic of LLMs and create a conversational bot.

    Goal for this Hackweek

    • Build data ingestion Data source:
      • SUSE KB docs
      • scc github docs
      • scc trello knowledge board
    • Test out new RAG architecture

    Learn how to integrate Elixir and Phoenix Liveview with LLMs by ninopaparo

    Description

    Learn how to integrate Elixir and Phoenix Liveview with LLMs by building an application that can provide answers to user queries based on a corpus of custom-trained data.

    Goals

    Develop an Elixir application via the Phoenix framework that:

    • Employs Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques
    • Supports the integration and utilization of various Large Language Models (LLMs).
    • Is designed with extensibility and adaptability in mind to accommodate future enhancements and modifications.

    Research how LLMs could help to Linux developers and/or users by anicka

    Description

    Large language models like ChatGPT have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across a variety of applications. However, their potential for enhancing the Linux development and user ecosystem remains largely unexplored. This project seeks to bridge that gap by researching practical applications of LLMs to improve workflows in areas such as backporting, packaging, log analysis, system migration, and more. By identifying patterns that LLMs can leverage, we aim to uncover new efficiencies and automation strategies that can benefit developers, maintainers, and end users alike.

    Goals

    • Evaluate Existing LLM Capabilities: Research and document the current state of LLM usage in open-source and Linux development projects, noting successes and limitations.
    • Prototype Tools and Scripts: Develop proof-of-concept scripts or tools that leverage LLMs to perform specific tasks like automated log analysis, assisting with backporting patches, or generating packaging metadata.
    • Assess Performance and Reliability: Test the tools' effectiveness on real-world Linux data and analyze their accuracy, speed, and reliability.
    • Identify Best Use Cases: Pinpoint which tasks are most suitable for LLM support, distinguishing between high-impact and impractical applications.
    • Document Findings and Recommendations: Summarize results with clear documentation and suggest next steps for potential integration or further development.

    Resources

    • Local LLM Implementations: Access to locally hosted LLMs such as LLaMA, GPT-J, or similar open-source models that can be run and fine-tuned on local hardware.
    • Computing Resources: Workstations or servers capable of running LLMs locally, equipped with sufficient GPU power for training and inference.
    • Sample Data: Logs, source code, patches, and packaging data from openSUSE or SUSE repositories for model training and testing.
    • Public LLMs for Benchmarking: Access to APIs from platforms like OpenAI or Hugging Face for comparative testing and performance assessment.
    • Existing NLP Tools: Libraries such as spaCy, Hugging Face Transformers, and PyTorch for building and interacting with local LLMs.
    • Technical Documentation: Tutorials and resources focused on setting up and optimizing local LLMs for tasks relevant to Linux development.
    • Collaboration: Engagement with community experts and teams experienced in AI and Linux for feedback and joint exploration.


    SUSE AI Meets the Game Board by moio

    Use tabletopgames.ai’s open source TAG and PyTAG frameworks to apply Statistical Forward Planning and Deep Reinforcement Learning to two board games of our own design. On an all-green, all-open source, all-AWS stack!
    A chameleon playing chess in a train car, as a metaphor of SUSE AI applied to games


    Results: Infrastructure Achievements

    We successfully built and automated a containerized stack to support our AI experiments. This included:

    A screenshot of k9s and nvtop showing PyTAG running in Kubernetes with GPU acceleration

    ./deploy.sh and voilà - Kubernetes running PyTAG (k9s, above) with GPU acceleration (nvtop, below)

    Results: Game Design Insights

    Our project focused on modeling and analyzing two card games of our own design within the TAG framework:

    • Game Modeling: We implemented models for Dario's "Bamboo" and Silvio's "Totoro" and "R3" games, enabling AI agents to play thousands of games ...in minutes!
    • AI-driven optimization: By analyzing statistical data on moves, strategies, and outcomes, we iteratively tweaked the game mechanics and rules to achieve better balance and player engagement.
    • Advanced analytics: Leveraging AI agents with Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) and random action selection, we compared performance metrics to identify optimal strategies and uncover opportunities for game refinement .

    Results: Learning, Collaboration, and Innovation

    Beyond technical accomplishments, the project showcased innovative approaches to coding, learning, and teamwork:

    • "Trio programming" with AI assistance: Our "trio programming" approach—two developers and GitHub Copilot—was a standout success, especially in handling slightly-repetitive but not-quite-exactly-copypaste tasks. Java as a language tends to be verbose and we found it to be fitting particularly well.
    • AI tools for reporting and documentation: We extensively used AI chatbots to streamline writing and reporting. (Including writing this report! ...but this note was added manually during edit!)
    • GPU compute expertise: Overcoming challenges with CUDA drivers and cloud infrastructure deepened our understanding of GPU-accelerated workloads in the open-source ecosystem.
    • Game design as a learning platform: By blending AI techniques with creative game design, we learned not only about AI strategies but also about making games fun, engaging, and balanced.

    Last but not least we had a lot of fun! ...and this was definitely not a chatbot generated line!

    The Context: AI + Board Games
