Image generation AI in container using Radeon GPU
Project Description
I have casually investigated that recent open source image generation AI systems are relatively invasive of the host system if one starts to install them that way. Usually container is better but needs special configuration to access the needed hardware. I'd like to run something in a container utilizing the RDNA2 Radeon gfx card I have on my desktop computer.
The exact container type would be evaluated, and of course existing solutions will be seeked.
Goal for this Hackweek
The goals for the Hackweek include to have suitable optimized container that can be created from scratch with one command and can generate SUSE related images with the AMD graphics with 8GB RAM (which is a bit limited apparently).

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!
Results: Infrastructure Achievements
We successfully built and automated a containerized stack to support our AI experiments. This included:
- a Fully-Automated, One-Command, GPU-accelerated Kubernetes setup: we created an OpenTofu based script, tofu-tag, to deploy SUSE's RKE2 Kubernetes running on CUDA-enabled nodes in AWS, powered by openSUSE with GPU drivers and gpu-operator
- Containerization of the TAG and PyTAG frameworks: TAG (Tabletop AI Games) and PyTAG were patched for seamless deployment in containerized environments. We automated the container image creation process with GitHub Actions. Our forks (PRs upstream upcoming):
./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 .
- more about Bamboo on Dario's site
- more about R3 on Silvio's site (italian, translation coming)
- more about Totoro on Silvio's site
A family picture of our card games in progress. From the top: Bamboo, Totoro, R3
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
Enable the containerized Uyuni server to run on different host OS by j_renner
Description
The Uyuni server is provided as a container, but we still require it to run on Leap Micro? This is not how people expect to use containerized applications, so it would be great if we tested other host OSs and enabled them by providing builds of necessary tools for (e.g. mgradm). Interesting candidates should be:
- openSUSE Leap
- Cent OS 7
- Ubuntu
- ???
Goals
Make it really easy for anyone to run the Uyuni containerized server on whatever OS they want (with support for containers of course).
ADS-B receiver with MicroOS by epaolantonio
I would like to put one of my spare Raspberry Pis to good use, and what better way to see what flies above my head at any time? 
There are various ready-to-use distros already set-up to provide feeder data to platforms like Flightradar24, ADS-B Exchange, FlightAware etc... The goal here would be to do it using MicroOS as a base and containerized decoding of ADS-B data (via tools like dump1090) and web frontend (tar1090).
Goals
- Create a working receiver using MicroOS as a base, and containers based on Tumbleweed
- Make it easy to install
- Optimize for maximum laziness (i.e. it should take care of itself with minimum intervention)
Resources
- 1x Small Board Computer capable of running MicroOS
- 1x RTL2832U DVB-T dongle
- 1x MicroSD card
- https://github.com/antirez/dump1090
- https://github.com/flightaware/dump1090 (dump1090 fork by FlightAware)
- https://github.com/wiedehopf/tar1090
Project status (2024-11-22)
So I'd say that I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out. I've packaged readsb (as a replacement for dump1090), tar1090, tar1090-db and mlat-client (not used yet).
Current status:
- Able to set-up a working receiver using combustion+ignition (web app based on Fuel Ignition)
- Able to feed to various feeds using the Beast protocol (Airplanes.live, ADSB.fi, ADSB.lol, ADSBExchange.com, Flyitalyadsb.com, Planespotters.net)
- Able to feed to Flightradar24 (initial-setup available but NOT tested! I've only tested using a key I already had)
- Local web interface (tar1090) to easily visualize the results
- Cockpit pre-configured to ease maintenance
What's missing:
- MLAT (Multilateration) support. I've packaged mlat-client already, but I have to wire it up
- FlightAware support

Gen-AI chatbots and test-automation of generated responses by mdati
Description
Start experimenting the generative SUSE-AI chat bot, asking questions on different areas of knowledge or science and possibly analyze the quality of the LLM model response, specific and comparative, checking the answers provided by different LLM models to a same query, using proper quality metrics or tools or methodologies.
Try to define basic guidelines and requirements for quality test automation of AI-generated responses.
First approach of investigation can be based on manual testing: methodologies, findings and data can be useful then to organize valid automated testing.
Goals
- Identify criteria and measuring scales for assessment of a text content.
- Define quality of an answer/text based on defined criteria .
- Identify some knowledge sectors and a proper list of problems/questions per sector.
- Manually run query session and apply evaluation criteria to answers.
- Draft requirements for test automation of AI answers.
Resources
- Announcement of SUSE-AI for Hack Week in Slack
- Openplatform and related 3 LLM models gemma:2b, llama3.1:8b, qwen2.5-coder:3b.
Notes
Foundation models (FMs):
are large deep learning neural networks, trained on massive datasets, that have changed the way data scientists approach machine learning (ML). Rather than develop artificial intelligence (AI) from scratch, data scientists use a foundation model as a starting point to develop ML models that power new applications more quickly and cost-effectively.Large language models (LLMs):
are a category of foundation models pre-trained on immense amounts of data acquiring abilities by learning statistical relationships from vast amounts of text during a self- and semi-supervised training process, making them capable of understanding and generating natural language and other types of content , to perform a wide range of tasks.
LLMs can be used for generative AI (artificial intelligence) to produce content based on input prompts in human language.
Validation of a AI-generated answer is not an easy task to perform, as manually as automated.
An LLM answer text shall contain a given level of informations: correcness, completeness, reasoning description etc.
We shall rely in properly applicable and measurable criteria of validation to get an assessment in a limited amount of time and resources.
