G-Research

And so maybe talk...

Let's, let's give a little bit of background on, like, what Apache Arrow is and maybe why, um, Grok, in particular, was interested in it before we, we delve too much into this story.

Yeah.

It's a columnar in-memory data store format that allows you to- Uh, allows different applications to all access the same, uh, memory and sort of interoperate, and it's all wonderful, and kumbaya says all the applications, and it's, it speeds up a bunch of the, the tools that, uh, you and I m- may use to do data science and machine learning and, uh, it sort of really underpins, uh, a lot of the AI technology that we use today.

We just cleaned up the repo to the place where we could invite everyone back, or we took over Console.Net because the maintainer wa- didn't have time for it.

Or, uh, you know, at one point, etcd, sort of a foundational piece of Kubernetes was asking like, "Hey, anyone wants to maintain this?" It was a couple years ago where it, it had lost almost all of its maintainers.

And just last week, I think w- somebody from the inside of gResearch, an engineer properly on the inside of gResearch, not part of Groww, but, um, but one of the platform engineers there, ha- contributed to etcd for the first time, got a major piece of, uh, optimization for etcd across the line.

And, you know, those are place-- that's just another example of where we will rally around the things that really mean a lot to us right now.
