Up next we have @paolino.me on stage! His hot take is that #Ruby (with RubyLLM) is the best and most elegant way to build AI apps. I’m inclined to believe that he’s right about that! 😁

Our closing keynote for day one was @paolino.me. Carmine explained LLMs can’t be trained anymore, they’re just making API calls. In this talk, he shared how to use RubyLLM, the principles behind this creation, and how to integrate it with Rails.

RubyLLM is such an incredibly clean interface for building apps that use AI! I appreciate @paolino.me's passion for simple interfaces and the philosophy behind it.

Carmine points at a slide:
This is Ruby's time to shine in AI

Carmine on stage. Slide says:
The RubyLLM Philosophy
1. Simple should be simple, complex should be possible
2. Models and providers are commodities
3. Convention over configuration
4. Progressive disclosure
5. One API, for One Person, in One Machine

Carmine pointing at a slide demoing RubyLLM.

Track usage with RubyLLM
```
response = RubyLLM.chat(model: "gemini-2.5-flash").ask("What's the oldest known example of conifers?")
response.input_tokens
# => 12
response.output_tokens
# => 1279
```

And now that the client's done, it was pretty easy to turn a remote OpenAPI spec into RubyLLM tools, so that I can chat with the API.

Of course, RubyLLM works great on JRuby! And then you also have access to a world of AI and ML tooling on the JVM like Langchain4J and official TensorFlow bindings. I'm glad to see communities like Ruby's working to compete with Python in the AI space.

Nate Berkopec shared performance feedback on Hackclub's open-source codebase from last week
Gregory Brown challenged the community to create the smallest program that randomly picks between two end states without using I/O but remains observable and Xavier responded with a nice solution
Pascal Laliberté noted that even in the age of AI coding tools like Cursor, his team still relied on the Bullet Train Rails starter kit for speed and reliability on a large project
Don't forget to read the Around Code section where Carmine Paolino talks about creating a standardized API for LLM pricing and Hans Schnedlitz shared insights from analyzing RubyGems.org database dumps, highlighting how fun it is to explore this data."

Loving RubyLLM! Definitely simplifies the integration of LLMs with Rails. As someone who has to build and ship web apps with Gen AI frequently, the speed up and enforcing of best practices is great. Will definitely be using this heavily. Thanks @paolino.me! github.com/crmne/ruby_llm
