All,
We will hold our office hours again:
2026-07-31T14:00:00Z→2026-07-31T15:00:00Z, more info here:
As to topics, I am very open. I finally had some time to benchmark open models against the commercial frontier models. Massive differences, happy to discuss, though I don’t understand the details sufficiently to truly publish them.
I’d also like to talk about crates. There are a lot of them; the Ada User Awards are enticing people to make more. What else is missing from the user experience or the list of capabilities?
Lastly, I’d love to talk about participation at Embedded World, curious to see who would like to submit a paper.
And of course, any other topics that people would like to bring up.
See you there!
Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark!
I’ll probably not be able to attend due to exam preparations but I have an interesting question that I’d like to ask you.
Do you think AI assisted tools should be used in applications that require DO-178C or ISO 26262 certifications? And if so, which stages should or should not use AI?
The context behind the question is a discussion I had with a friend. We were talking about the future of software development and how AI assisted development might be used in safety critical systems. He essentially said: “I would not fly a plane or drive a car that has been vibe coded. If the requirements, implementation and unit tests are all hallucinated we might have a safe system but that system could be bogus!”
But since both of us are not really familiar with both standards, we don’t know how real of a risk AI usage really is for such systems. Therefore, I’d like to ask you, someone who has years of experiences in both fields, what your opinion is on the matter.
With kind regards,
Ada Orbit
PS: A new “main” directory/index for especially qualitative Ada crates would be awesome! And I’m gonna continue working on my Ada User Awards Project once my exam phase is over.
