What if we took Rust... on-chain? 🦀
The talk explores how Rust’s type system and memory safety can be leveraged to enforce mandatory guardrails at the infrastructure level, where traditional frameworks often fall short.
This talk explores building a complete self-hosted LLM stack in Rust: Paddler, a distributed load balancer for serving LLMs at scale, and Poet, a static site generator that consumes those LLMs for AI-powered content features.
For infrastructure engineers, SREs, platform teams, and Rust developers who've felt the pain of configuration drift, failed deployments, and infrastructure code that simply doesn't scale safely.
In this talk, we’ll re-create the core ideas of Karpathy’s micrograd, but entirely in Rust.
