Nvidia in talks to acquire US 'open' model startup Reflection AI
Summary
Geoffrey Huntley discusses the resurgence of unikernels in the AI era, explaining what unikernels are, why they were hard, and how AI is changing the landscape. The piece explores practical examples like porting libraries, Nix overlays, and Spaceleans (Orleans in OCaml) as unikernel implementations, and argues that reducing attack surfaces and rethinking OS design are central security advantages. It also touches on language choices, tooling, and the broader implications for secure, AI-enhanced software development.
