General Announcements
==============================================
Opencode support is being added to the AI code review tool, may be
useful for UNH to look into.

Aaron to bring up using https://github.com/igsilya/sashiko-shi in the Tech Board

OVS Developer Event announcement is coming soon.

CI Status
==============================================

AWS Lab
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Has integrated performance benchmarking into their pipelines,
currently scoped to net/ena related patches.
Planning on adding functional testing and possibly using new DTS on
both Graviton and x86 architectures.

UNH-IOL Community Lab
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next week Matt is going to start working on supporting AMD Unit tests on Clang

AMD Hardware Upgrades, we provided some information to the AMD team,
they may send us NICs to add to the lab.

AI Code Review:

There are some discussions about how to better handle large patches
that exceed the current context window sizes.  There is a patch on the
dev list for this, UNH will review. Note: Patch likely was in May or
June, Adam Hassick had taken a look at it.

We are going to look into false warnings caused by unpermitted filler
text under the warning/errors section. Maybe have our code look at
something that is a little more deterministic and isn't the flag below
the warning/errors section.

Intel Lab
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No updates

Github Actions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No updates, running as expected.

Loongson Lab
