The OCaml Planet RSS

Back from the Arctic into a heatwave, hacking on Eio for the TESSERA sync engine, the Conservation Evidence team demoing at Parliament, and TESSERA on stage at the RAISE Summit in Paris.

Spoke at CHIA's annual conference on AI for a changing world, as well as the first Cloud-Native Geospatial Forum outside the US, and started moving TESSERA's embeddings onto Source Cooperative.

Ten years of the CCI with Sir David Attenborough, Andrew's Royal Society Environment Medal lecture, and the third PROPL at PLDI, while wrapping a local DeepSeek agent in OCaml and a first stab at getting Eio fleshed out on Windows.

TESSERA v1.1 is a drop-in retrained model that fixes the tiling artefacts of v1.0, with embeddings now being served from AWS S3 and model weights up on Hugging Face.

Community feedback reshaped our Zarr store layout — years became a dimension, shards got bigger, and we retired the TESSERA-specific convention in favour of a shared geo-embeddings standard that also covers other models.

TESSERA streaming in the browser, planetary programming at WG2.8, biodiversity action papers, FP Launchpad opens, and Docker CACM buzz

First TESSERA hackathon held at the Indian AI Impact Summit in Delhi, exploring integration with IIT-Delhi's CoRE Stack for geospatial analysis and testing TESSERA labeling workflows.

Tracking TESSERA activity including a new preprint and podcast, wrestling with Zarr, and saying farewell to David Allsopp.
