The <a href="https://omfest.co/">new website is beautiful and highlights some of the experiences available throughout the day</a>. I think Om would be very impressed by the attendee list. We’re doing it at the <a href="https://www.swedishamericanhall.com/">Swedish American Hall</a>, the same venue as <a href="https://sf.wordcamp.org/2006/">the first WordCamp</a>, where Om, of course, <a href="https://sf.wordcamp.org/2006/schedule/">spoke about Blogs and Journalism</a>. (The videos have been lost to digirot, unless anyone has some recordings? I’ve been looking everywhere.)</p> 210 211 212 213<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Below is cross-posted from <a href="https://omfest.co/">OmFest.co</a>:</p> 214 215 216 217<p class="wp-block-paragraph">September 29<sup>th</sup> is when Om would have turned 60. </p> 218 219 220 221<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://ma.tt/2026/06/om-forever/">When I first started thinking about how to mark the day</a>, I knew I didnât want a traditional memorial. Om loved bringing interesting people together, and he loved a festival that taught him something he didnât already know. His curiosity crossed so many worlds and passions: technology, journalism, photography, investing, watches, pens, coffee, design, music, India, New York, San Francisco. </p> 222 223 224 225<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So weâre bringing these worlds together. On September 29 in San Francisco, weâre throwing OmFestâtwelve hours of ideas, objects, food, music, and conversation, organized and anchored around a statement Om once said:</p> 226 227 228 229<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> 230<p class="is-style-default has-quote-font-size wp-block-paragraph">âIf you pay enough attention to the present, you can see the future.â</p> 231</blockquote> 232 233 234 235<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Present Future</h2> 236 237 238 239<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of tributes or keynotes, weâll host a series of short talks with one simple challenge: teach us something youâre seeing before everyone else sees it. No pitches, no career retrospectives. You donât even have to talk about Om. What happens to photography when anyone can generate the perfect image with AI? Why do physical objects become more meaningful as our lives become more digital? Are glasses becoming computers? What does handwriting do to the way
239we think? Different subjects, same goal: everyone leaves knowing something they didnât know when they arrived.</p> 240 241 242 243<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Festival of Omâs Curiosity </h2> 244 245 246 247<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Between the talks, there will be plenty to stumble upon. Through Omâs Lens: a gallery of Omâs photography. TIME: an exhibit that uses his watch obsession to spark a discussion about craft and collecting. Field Notes: a communal writing table stocked with fine paper, fountain pens, and ink, where you can write something worth rememberingâand either keep it or leave it behind to be bound in a book to commemorate the day. And Omâs Shelf: books he read, loved, and recommended. The collection will start full and slowly empty as his favorite reads pass into other hands.</p> 248 249 250 251<p class="wp-block-paragraph">People from Omâs different worlds will drop in throughout the day to share knowledge and facilitate small, hands-on moments: a photography tutorial, a notebook-binding session, a lesson on the mechanics of a watch, an experience with a coffee youâve never tried, a tea ceremony. And, woven into this experience, will be OM/60: sixty small discoveries about Om, hidden throughout. </p> 252 253 254 255<h2 class="wp-block-heading">All Roads Lead to Om</h2> 256 257 258 259<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most important part, however, isnât any of these objects. At check-in, instead of a badge with your company and title, youâll choose the worlds through which you knew Om: photography, journalism, technology, GigaOm, investing, WordPress, India, coffee, pens and ink, design, music, or simply friends and family.</p> 260 261 262 263<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then we build a physical map of it. It starts nearly empty. You add yourself, mark how you knew Om and whom he introduced you to, and those people connect to others. By the end of the night, I hope weâll be able to see what Om spent a lifetime making. </p> 264 265 266 267<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The question I keep asking myself: who will meet because of Om that Om never had the chance to introduce? If OmFest works, his network wonât just be documented that day. Itâll grow. </p> 268 269 270 271<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Ideas to Celebration</h2> 272 273 274 275<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The day flows and builds. Morning is coffee, breakfast, books, photography, and conversation. The middle is deliberately unstructuredâwander, eat, write, talk. In the evening, friends share short stories as we raise a glass to Om on his 60th. Then the bars roll in, the lights go down, the music gets louder, and OmFest becomes DesiParty: his old-school New York nights, Asian Underground, bhangra, electronica. We start with ideas and end with dancing. That feels right.</p> 276 277 278 279<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Version 1.0</h2> 280 281 282 283<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What weâre building shouldnât end on September 29. What does registration look like if itâs designed to help strangers talk to each other? How do you design a conference around curiosity instead of status? How do you make something that works for a two-hour visit or a twelve-hour one? How does a room encourage connection without forcing networking? </p> 284 285 286 287<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Weâre treating OmFest as an experiment. Weâll document what worksâformats, designs, code, templates, check-in, programmingâand open source as much of it as we can. Other events can take the best ideas and make them better. </p> 288 289 290 291<p class="wp-block-paragraph">September 29 isnât the end of OmFest. Itâs version 1.0. </p> 292 293 294 295<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Come Build with Us</h2> 296 297 298 299<p class="wp-block-paragraph">People from across Omâs life are building OmFest together. Some are contributing photographs. Someone is making a textile; another is bringing tea and guiding ceremonies. Others are helping with watches, eyewear, books, music, writing, and stories. We haven’t discovered whole parts of Omâs world yet. Thatâs the point.</p> 300 301 302 303<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If Om introduced you to something, or someone, weâd love to know. <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScyY9c5MowPFW6BmIitqaaF3T-ykM_d8eD2pq2XqwSt7N50zg/viewform">If thereâs something you think people should experience, see, hear, taste, read, or learn that day, tell us</a>. </p> 304 305 306 307<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if you just want to come, come.

That’s not a criticism â it’s a reading list. If the future is going to be built on this stuff, the WordPress community should be fluent in it. Here’s the homework.</p> 453 454 455 456<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How models are actually trained</h2> 457 458 459 460<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When I asked who knew about the reinforcement learning models go through, Robert looked out and said “I see no yeses.” Base models are trained to predict the next word across huge amounts of text; the friendly, helpful behavior comes after, in post-training, where human/AI feedback reinforces some responses over others. If you use these tools every day, understanding that pipeline changes how you prompt them and what you expect from them.</p> 461 462 463 464<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Start with Hugging Face’s <a href="https://huggingface.co/blog/rlhf">Illustrating RLHF</a>, a visual explainer. Chip Huyen’s <a href="https://huyenchip.com/2023/05/02/rlhf.html">RLHF deep dive</a> is the best longer read, and Anthropic’s <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.08073">Constitutional AI paper</a> shows where post-training went next. If you only have time for one thing, watch Andrej Karpathy’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xTGNNLPyMI">Deep Dive into LLMs</a> â pretraining, fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and why models behave the way they do, all in one sitting.</p> 465 466 467 468<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Uncensored models</h2> 469 470 471 472<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Almost nobody had tried an <a href="https://huggingface.co/OBLITERATUS/Qwen3.8-27B-OBLITERATED">OBLITERATED</a> model. Since refusal behavior is added in post-training, researchers found it can also be removed â it turns out to be, roughly, a single direction inside the model that you can subtract out. Maxime Labonne’s <a href="https://huggingface.co/blog/mlabonne/abliteration">Uncensor any LLM with abliteration</a> explains the technique, and the paper behind it, <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.11717">Refusal in Language Models Is Mediated by a Single Direction</a>, is short and genuinely fascinating. Whatever you think of the applications, it’s worth understanding that open weights mean the community can modify these models, the same way the GPL means you can modify WordPress.</p> 473 474 475 476<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The open-weight wave</h2> 477 478 479 480<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Only a few hands went up for Qwen 3.8. The open-weight models coming out of Chinese labs â <a href="https://huggingface.co/Qwen">Qwen</a>, <a href="https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai">DeepSeek</a>, <a href="https://huggingface.co/moonshotai">Kimi</a>, <a href="https://huggingface.co/zai-org">GLM</a> â are at or near the frontier at a fraction of the cost, and the smaller ones run on a laptop. I demoed one from this MacBook on stage. Token costs have dropped about 20x, and that curve isn’t slowing down.</p> 481 482 483 484<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The easiest way to feel this for yourself is to run one locally tonight: install <a href="https://ollama.com">Ollama</a> or <a href="https://lmstudio.ai">LM Studio</a>, pull a small Qwen model, and talk to an intelligence that lives entirely on your own machine, no cloud required. For a community built on the four freedoms, that should feel familiar â and exciting.</p> 485 486 487 488<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Read one, watch one, run one. Then bring what you learned to your next meetup.

This grieving process has been a rough one for me, but it has inspired some positive life changes. I’m traveling with a real camera again! <a href="https://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d6.htm">A Nikon D6</a>. I’ve shot tens of thousands of frames on the D-series, so it feels like home, but it also has some nice new features like built-in GPS (I used to use an attachment for that) and USB-C. </p> 595 596 597 598<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve also become very driven to be meticulous. I miss Om’s harsh but often true feedback, but his voice in my head is a good reminder that if you do something, it’s worth doing it well. I’m kinda a hot mess (still blessed! ð) so this will be a journey but the progress already has been rewarding. Excellence is a habit.

Writers, photographers, podcasters, journalists, the people for whom a reverse chronological stream on the homepage is the most obvious thing in the world. We link out a lot, love comments, social features and think a lot about the editor as a writing environment.</p> 646 647 648 649<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Builders are the site shapers, webmasters, the agencies, the companies, the content managers that think in a more page-first rather than post-first way. Tagging? Blogroll? Date-based permalinks? Who needs them. Give me custom fields, rich templates, a site editor, to craft beautiful sturdy pages that will stand the test of time. A store with a catalog of items where what changes is the inventory and ratings, not the content.</p> 650 651 652 653<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Builders right now dominate our core development discourse, which makes sense. They hold a lot of the economic share with <a href="https://woocommerce.com/">merchants</a> and <a href="https://wordpress.org/showcase/">rich websites</a>. They’re also more loyal. The Bloggers love their WordPress as the place they truly own and call home, but Bloggers have an account on every channel where there’
653s an audience, they syndicate out with an ephemerality mindset, because that reader/listener/follower connection is the spark that keeps their flame alive. A Builder would never be a <a href="https://ma.tt/2025/09/wordpresser/">digital sharecropper</a> on someone else’s <a href="https://wordpress.com/domains/">domain</a>.</p> 654 655 656 657<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5UZ7GyTDbk">Dave Smith has been doing some very interesting explorations of a simpler site editor</a>, and you hear his Builder bias around 3:20 in how obvious a static homepage as default seems to him.</p> 658 659 660 661<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The good news is we can coexist as we have at least since <a href="https://wordpress.org/news/2005/02/strayhorn/">WordPress 1.5</a>.

So much time is wasted in traditional support trying to see through the customer’s eyes, or authenticate them. That goes away, but watch your thinking!

That’s the source of truth, and an agent will read all of it!</p> 784 785 786 787<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The interface and APIs remain because that’s useful to both human visitors and the agents.</p> 788 789 790 791<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whenever possible, make support public. More blogs and <a href="https://bbpress.org/">bbPress</a>. I actually weep a little when I think of how many beautiful words are written by our Happiness Engineers that are only ever seen once in a chat box or email thread.</p> 792 793 794 795<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My goal with our products is that support is radically available, and you almost never have to use it.</p> 796 797 798 799<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re in a support role, I think you can pick a lane based on where you get energy. </p> 800 801 802 803<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you love looking at screens, I think there’s a future where customer service wizards are watching over an Iron Man-like interface, armies of chat bots talking to people, where they can see how they’re going and intervene or nudge them as needed.
