Jev is an AI model that decides instead of writing. See how a decision model could tag data in OpenMetadata, and why open-weights Laya fits the job.

We should be far enough away. It's shocking that things are burning considering the deluge of rain we just had last weekend.

At @BigData_LDN, Suresh Srinivas (@suresh_m_s) made the case: "If context is your moat, it should be open source."
AI agents need one consistent understanding of your data, not a proprietary layer locked to a single vendor.
Same principle as an open agent harness: decouple the model from what has to persist. Do it for context too.

"If context is your moat, it should be open source."
Suresh Srinivas (@suresh_m_s), Collate CEO, @BigData_LDN: proprietary context layers trap your AI advantage inside one vendor. Open context compounds.
7x fewer wrong answers. 75% fewer tokens. 4,000+ orgs including OpenAI, Yelp, Airbus.

@Sequra_app connected OpenMetadata + their BI tool via MCP. Self-service analysis adoption: 22% to 53%.
Next problem: trusting the answer. Ariadna Cuffi (SeQura) shares how at our Oct 21 meetup.

For our latest episode of Ask the Experts, Collate Founding Account Executive Pierre Jaouen talks with @progrockrec . They talk about the challenges companies face with directives like GDPR, BCBS, and other requirements in Europe, how they are solving these problems, and how Collate also plays a role in the solution.

Can you export your ontology in OWL or RDF, load it elsewhere, and have it still mean the same thing?
If the answer involves a support ticket, it isn't open.

ALT Agent-Ready Context Layer
Shawn Gordon retweeted
An independent ontology consultant analyzed our context platform's JSON Schema model and W3C standards implementation: RDF, OWL, SKOS, SHACL.
Her framework tests for three things most "context layer" claims skip: a controlled vocabulary glossary, a typed-relationship ontology with logical axioms, and a queryable knowledge graph you can actually run inference against.
@JessicaTalisman's take: most vendor "ontologies" are a glossary with a hierarchy. Ours passed the harder test: typed relationships, logical axioms, and inference you can trace.

gonna be a banger, the way @sequra_app is using OpenMetadata and the features coming in 2.1 is what makes it great.
Our next OpenMetadata Community Meetup is in just two weeks, on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at 9:00 AM PT.
We're excited to welcome Ariadna Cuffi Teixido, Data & AI Governance Lead at SeQura, who will talk about AI context for data analytics and how SeQura helped more users get accurate self-service AI analytics from their data.
We're also excited to preview what's coming in OpenMetadata 2.1, with presentations by our CTO, Sriharsha Chintalapani, and his team: Pere Miquel Brull and Felipe Maciel Cardoso. You won't want to miss any of it.
Q&A at the end, as always!

@JessicaTalisman has spent 25 years on the part of AI that nobody posts about.
Most AI deployments skip all of it, then wonder why the agent is confidently wrong.

Every agent needs the same four things: what your data means, which definitions to trust, what's been decided, what it can see.
Rebuild those per agent, and you get a context swamp.

ALT The Context Swamp
Is it Artificial Intelligence? Is it Super Intelligence? Is it Super Duper Intelligence? Well, all the AI folks were at the White House this past week, and the push is for SI to replace AI. If Dario and Elon go that route, then that will basically be it; it doesn't matter what anyone thinks. That all said, neither AI nor SI is accurate for what we have. Those words have long-defined meanings, and what we have doesn't match. Of course, this inspired me to write a little blog about it to break it down. Please to enjoy on @hackernoon :

We built data lakes that turned into swamps. We're about to do it again, faster.
Every agent rebuilding its own context = a context swamp.
