Flox

It’s our last day at NVIDIA GTC and the booth is buzzing ⚡ Come find us at booth #4046 before 2pm to meet the team and chat about building deterministic environments. Show us a Floxhub environment you pushed to get a prize 🎁 See you soon!

👀 Who’s ready for happy hour ✨ If you’re at NVIDIA GTC, come say hello 👋 No talks, no agenda — just good drinks, light bites, great people, and easygoing chats about Nix (or whatever you’re working on!). buff.ly/KEHTbYX

A great night during @NVIDIA GTC 🚀 We hosted an evening with @ICCUSA and NVIDIA, bringing together a fantastic group across financial services, AI, and HPC. Really strong conversations on where AI infrastructure is heading, and what teams are dealing with day to day. Thanks to everyone who came out! We loved meeting you 🎉

At @NVIDIA GTC? 👀 Stop by booth #4046 in the Inception Startups Hall and meet the Flox team! We'd love to discuss building reproducible and deterministic environments with you ✨️

We’re at booth #4046 at @NVIDIA GTC 👋 Talking all things AI, #CUDA environments, and reproducibility, and learning a lot from the conversations happening here! If you’re at #nvidiagtc, come say hi 🚀

Just in time for @NVIDIA GTC, we’re announcing the Flox CUDA Kickstart Program! 🎉 The program defines a reference architecture for deploying deterministic, reproducible CUDA-accelerated ML/AI environments on NVIDIA GPU infrastructure at scale. It reflects Flox’s collaboration with NVIDIA and the Nix ecosystem to strengthen the open infrastructure around CUDA and make reproducible AI environments easier to deploy and run at scale. Read the announcement: buff.ly/iSCD1B3 If you're at #GTC, come see us at booth #4046!

Day 0 magic, @floxdevelopment (with sprinkles of @nixos_org ) on stage at @nvidia's at @NVIDIAGTC! Many. Many. Launches coming out today & this week 💜 💚 Lots of love to @GregEstes & Josh Minney for making it happen!

Most developers picture the process like this: Plan → Build → Test → Release But every stage depends on something often overlooked. That process above is typically described through the SDLC. 𝟭. 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 ↳ Define requirements and architecture 𝟮. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 ↳ Implement features and integrate systems 𝟯. 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 ↳ Validate behavior, performance, and reliability 𝟰. 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 ↳ Deploy safely to production 𝟱. 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 ↳ Monitor systems, fix issues, and iterate But every stage ultimately depends on the same foundation: a reliable development environment. 𝗜𝗳 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 between developers, CI, and production, teams start seeing: → broken CI pipelines → onboarding delays → dependency conflicts → “works on my machine” bugs That’s why many teams are starting to treat environments as 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗗𝗟𝗖 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳, not just a setup step. Tools like Flox help with this by letting teams define reproducible development environments, so the same setup runs across developers, CI, and production. Because when environments are reproducible, the SDLC becomes much smoother from build to release.

We’ll be at NVIDIA GTC 2026 and we’d love to see you there! We’ll be talking about how teams are using Flox to bring reproducibility and control to modern AI stacks; across research, training, and production. If you’re dealing with: - Multi-GB OCI images - “It runs… on this machine” problems - Painful build → push → pull → test loops - Promoting the exact eval/validated runtime to production Come talk to us! Flox lets you: - Pin runtime identity to a reviewable, immutable reference - Promote and roll back environments without rebuilding the world - Share reproducible GPU stacks across laptops, clusters, Slurm, and Kubernetes/KubeRay - Generate deterministic SBOMs from an environment’s dependency graph - Move from image churn to controlled, declarative environment updates If you’re in GRC, ML research, platform engineering, or production ML, this will resonate! The Flox team will be there (Ron, Ben, James, Jacquie, Stahnke, Robin, Michael, Bill). Come say hello! And stay tuned! We’ve got something new to share on Monday 🚀 buff.ly/zdbBACe

#throwback! Great panel at SCaLE on how AI is reshaping infrastructure and engineering. Ron Efroni, Kelsey Hightower, Stormy Peters, and James Bayer talked about what’s actually changing inside engineering teams right now. Thanks to everyone who joined the session!

We’re excited to welcome Kanishk to the Flox team as Senior Product Manager! Kanishk joins us with years of experience building developer and infrastructure tools, previously at HashiCorp and Auth0. He brings deep expertise in product development and UX design in complex security and software environments. Looking forward to building together 🚀 Welcome to Flox, Kanishk!

We’re excited to welcome @SteveMorin to Flox as our new VP of Engineering! Steve is a hands-on engineering leader who has built and scaled data-driven platforms across startups and large organizations, including Asana, Meta/Instagram, and Yahoo! He has led organizations of 120+ engineers across frontend, backend, SRE, and data teams, and brings deep experience in building scalable systems, developer platforms, and data infrastructure. Excited to have him help lead the next chapter of engineering at Flox. Welcome to the team, Steve! 🚀

Still buzzing after the last 4 days. PlanetNix → SCaLE → so many great conversations, talks, and people. Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by, joined our sessions, shared ideas, or just came to say hi. The open source community is something special. We’ll be back tomorrow to follow up on everything. Stay tuned! For now... just a big thank you! 💜

#PlanetNix 2026 wrapped! ❄️ Thanks to everyone who joined us! It was amazing to see so many people from the #Nix community in one place. Big thanks to the speakers, attendees, and our Planetary Partners for making it happen. Flox team is heading over to SCaLE next 👉 Come by the our booth and join our talks!
