Are you picking the right AI engine or just the popular one?
In this clip,
@goinggo.net breaks down vLLM vs Kronk 👇
youtu.be/baSi1Vv37hY
The shift:
There’s no “best” engine, only the right fit.
→ vLLM = scale (thousands of users)
→ Kronk = speed (single-user apps)
→ Edge AI with Arduino + TinyGo

If you’ve ever built something solid… & then got blocked by someone else’s abstraction, @goinggo.net knows the feeling.

⚠️Because handing off too much control? That’s how you end up debugging someone else’s problems.

The LiteLLM incident wasn’t a model problem. It was a supply chain problem.
AI systems are not single services anymore. They’re stacks of dependencies, & every layer assumes trust by default.
That’s the real vulnerability.

Your Go + LLM app is already an attack surface.
The breach won’t come from your infra.
It’ll come from how the models are used.

You didn’t ship a vulnerability…
your dependencies did. 😮
Today’s stacks are built on layers of APIs, SDKs, and orchestration tools you don’t fully control. When something breaks upstream it doesn’t stay there, it reaches production.
AI security is no longer local. It’s a supply chain problem.

📢 UPDATE: Ult. Software Design Stream Schedule
There will be NO livestream tomorrow with @goinggo.net & @kenriquezcodes.bsky.social

We’ll share updates as soon as the next streams are scheduled.
The question isn’t: “Can we add AI?”
It’s: How much infrastructure do we need to support it?
More layers ≠ Better systems
Less infrastructure. More control.

🚨The fastest way to kill momentum? Pivoting too soon.
If you’ve ever started seeing progress & then second-guessed everything because of the competition… @goinggo.net can relate!
Watch the Short 👇

It always starts simple.
One prompt.
One model.
Everything works..
Then comes the “just one more thing” phase, model servers, vector DBs, orchestration ...
Before long, you’re managing infrastructure, not improving AI.

Stop obsessing over Tokens Per Second (TPS) for your local AI models!❌
TPS is often a false metric; a high TPS might just mean your model is "spinning its wheels faster" if your tooling is inefficient.
In this clip, @goinggo.net explains what actually matters.
🎥Watch now: youtu.be/aJiw2oFXOBc
Most teams don’t fail from lack of talent. They fail from choosing the wrong model.
Staff Aug ≠ Outsourcing ≠ Hiring
Each solves a different problem.
Use the wrong one → friction, delays, misalignment
If you're deciding, it’s worth getting it right.

Waiting for the next model drop like it’s the “holy grail”…
only to spend hours trying to make it work on your setup… @goinggo.net can relate!
Sometimes you just wish the AI world would pause for a day so you can actually get some work done. 😂

Scaling does not fail in execution. It fails in the decision
Hiring. Outsourcing. Staff augmentation
All work, just not in the same conditions
That is where teams get stuck

Most staff augmentation fails because it stops at placement.
That’s the mistake
At Ardan Labs, we don’t just place engineers.
We prepare them, integrate them, & support them throughout the engagement. That’s how you get consistent outcomes
We broke it down here👉 www.ardanlabs.com/news/2026/ho...
Most AI systems treat the model as a black box.
But what if you could see what’s happening under the hood? 👀
In this clip from @goinggo.net ’s Ultimate AI Workshop, hear from Bill how Kronk AI integrates with Llama CPP & the mental model behind modern AI systems.
