This week was very hot because Google published Gemma, a smal-size LLM, and also Nvidia has a rush on stock market, with a evaluation around 2000 BILLIONS dollars. Last but not least, Mistral.ai published a service for its more advanced model, which can also run on-prem.

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is artificial intelligence capable of generating text, images or other data using generative models, often in response to prompts.
Generative AI models learn the patterns and structure of their input training data and then generate new data that has similar characteristics. This similarity is probability-based.
At low level, these systems are based on Transformer deep-learning architecture and are called generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) first defined in 2018 (for a complete description refer to Wikipedia)

Bullet points:
- 1979: Unix V7 Introduced the chroot command to isolate the filesystem a process "access" to.
- Various technology was introduced up to 2006, like Virtuozzo (which patched Linux in a proprietary ways)
- 2006: Process Containers Launched by Google in 2006 was designed for limiting, accounting and isolating resource usage (CPU, memory, disk I/O, network) of a collection of processes. It was renamed “Control Groups (cgroups)” a year later and eventually merged to Linux kernel 2.6.24.
- 2008: LXC LXC (LinuX Containers) was the first, most complete implementation of Linux container manager. It was implemented in 2008 using cgroups and Linux namespaces, and it works on a single Linux kernel without requiring any patches.
- 2013: Docker Docker used LXC in its initial stages and later replaced that container manager with its own library, libcontainer. Docker offered a way to configure and manage containers, i.e a standard de-facto for this technology. As you see Docker was based on cgroups and LXC, seven-years old technologies
- On September 2014 Google published the first release of Kubernetes
- In 2015 Docker, CoreOS and others founded the Open Container Initiative's (OCI). K8s does not need docker anymore to work, but Docker traction is still strong.
