About Event

Wolf Vollprecht has spent the last five years trying to make sure that the conda ecosystem can grow unbounded! He worked at Quantstack (C++ numerical computing with xtensor, Jupyter, and mamba) before starting his own venture (prefix.dev) where they are trying to take package management to the next level!

In this fireside chat, Wolf joins Hugo Bowne-Anderson, Outerbounds’ Head of Developer Relations, to talk about package management and software supply chain challenges for data scientists and machine learning engineers, the magic of making it all "just work" for developers across stacks and platforms, and the future of package management and accessibility for GenAI and foundation models.

They’ll discuss

  • The main challenges developers, data scientists, and ML/AI engineers face in shipping software;

  • How his team is working to improve the conda ecosystem by rewriting everything in Rust;

  • What the developer experience needs to be like and how we can make package management “just work”;

  • The future of efficient and user-friendly tools for distributing and using LLMs and other foundation models.

And much more!
