Your platform team is about to become an inference team. So we started with ourselves: coding agents, CVE remediation and chat on @modelplaneai.bsky.social. The primitives are new. The job feels familiar. → www.upbound.io/blog/drinking-our-own-champagne-what-it-takes-to-own-your-intelligence

Drinking Our Own Champagne: What It Takes to Own Your Intelligence - Upbound AI
We spent a decade building control planes for infrastructure. Now we're using that experience to learn how platform engineers become inference engineers.

Insights told us 230 resources were broken. Hub, new in v3, told us why. One token, no kubectl context. Claude grouped 230 failures into 11 missing Secrets. One fix cleared 61. → www.upbound.io/blog/upbound...

New in Upbound v3: Insights. One live view of every resource across every connected control plane, now including the Kubernetes clusters below them. Answer a compliance or security question from a single view instead of scripting across systems one at a time. → www.upbound.io/blog/announc...

@modelplaneai.bsky.social v0.3 is out. Serve the Anthropic Messages API end to end and run Claude Code on GPUs you own. Plus Vultr as a fifth cluster provider and per-cluster credentials for multi-account fleets. Same declarative pattern as Crossplane, one layer up. → modelplane.ai/blog/modelpl...

Upbound signed the Open Weights and American AI Leadership letter. Open weights decide who owns the model. A control layer decides who owns the fleet that runs it. Crossplane for cloud, Modelplane for inference. Read → aka.ms/OpenLetter

Rented intelligence is cheap until it isn't. Our Claude Code usage runs 13x the seat price, and Uber, Tesla, and Meta are all capping engineers now. Every ecosystem converges on a neutral control layer. Inference is next. That's @modelplaneai.bsky.social . → modelplane.ai/blog/ai-codi...

Anthropic is subsidizing our AI coding at 13x. How long will it last?
We measured what our team's Claude Code usage would cost at API prices. It runs about 13x our seat price on average, and 52x for our heaviest engineer. Here are the numbers, how we measure them, and t...

Cluster-level inference tooling is fine. It just doesn't help you orchestrate the GPUs you own. Nobody at scale runs one cluster. The fix: treat the ones you own as one pool. That's the fleet-level API we designed. How we built it → modelplane.ai/blog/how-we-...

@modelplaneai.bsky.social v0.2 is out: Nebius and @microsoft.com Azure AKS as cluster providers, weighted routing for safe rollouts, and cluster taints to reserve or drain capacity. Same declarative pattern as @crossplane.io, one layer up. Built in the open. → modelplane.ai/blog/modelpl...

Introducing @modelplaneai.bsky.social: the open source control plane for AI inference. Built on Crossplane, it operates your GPU fleet as a unified inference platform. Any model, any engine, any infra. In Early Development. We’re building in the open. Join us → modelplane.ai

Modelplane · The open source control plane for AI inference
Modelplane is the open source control plane for AI models. Deploy any model on any GPU infrastructure you own (cloud, neocloud, or on-premise) and let the control plane operate it continuously.

Google’s new report shows AI only works when your platform is strong. That’s why we built @crossplane.io and @upbound.io : declarative APIs for apps, platforms, and infra. Agentic AI depends on this. If your platform isn’t ready, your AI won’t be either. services.google.com/fh/files/mis...
