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.
I contributed LTO-related changes to many open-source projects, and had a lot of interesting discussions with their maintainers about LTO. In this talk, I want to share with you my experience.
This talk explains how Rust debugging actually works: how compiler-generated debuginfo (DWARF/PDB) maps binaries back to source, and how LLDB/GDB interpret that data in practice.
In 2024, I added the `Option::as_slice` and `Option::as_mut_slice` methods to libcore. This talk is about what motivated the addition, and looks into the no less than 4 different implementations that made up the methods. It also shows that even without a deep understanding of all compiler internals, it is possible to add changes both to the compiler and standard library.
This talk puts popular Rust rewrites to the test. We'll examine how these tools stack up against their battle-tested predecessors, looking at real-world performance, compilation times, binary sizes, feature completeness, and ecosystem maturity.
