We had the incredible opportunity to volunteer at the Huangpu Special Vocational School in Shanghai. We spent time making mooncakes and painting moon lamps with a group of extraordinary children. Though their world may be slightly different, their creativity and craftsmanship are remarkable. The freshly baked mooncakes were filled with warmth and fragrance. We also made sure to share this joy with Kongers in China by sending mooncakes and spreading happiness. Wishing everyone a Mid-Autumn Festival filled with the warmth of the full moon and joyful reunions! ???? Thank you Yuanyuan Zhang for organizing this amazing event. Thank you Doris Swee for the Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives. #MidAutumnFestival #Community #Volunteer #Gratitude #Mooncakes #CSR

Key takeaways for customers from Kong’s API Summit ?? In this special #theCUBE conversation with Marco Palladino, co-founder and CTO of Kong Inc., John Furrier gathers the major takeaways from their #APISummit24 amidst the recent Gen AI wave. “We are introducing semantic intelligence, the ability to understand intent, the meaning of what is being requested into AI to semantically accelerate AI up to 20x faster than without semantic caching, to semantically insert guardrails in our AI consumption for security and governance, and to semantically route our AI requests to the best models that have been fine-tuned for the job without knowing in advance what those models are,” Palladino explains. “Essentially, we're bringing all sorts of intelligence when it comes to managing all of these new AI traffic that organizations today are exposing for developers to consume,” he furthers. “Considering that AI is becoming the new data, we're accessing new data using AI.” “The second one truly is the expansion of our Konnect platform. Everything that Kong does, gateway AI, service mesh, and more, at the end of the day, can be fully managed through our Konnect control plane, the platform, which allows us to have an end-to-end view of all the APIs and AI models that were exposing across the board,” Palladino concludes. ??

The first few months of *Kong AI Gateway* adoption surpasses the early days of our own API Gateway, making it the #1 AI Gateway already. At API Summit this week, we launched a new 3.8 version with Semantic Caching, Prompts, and Routing to quickly accelerate and secure LLM traffic from one central point. Try it out! No #genai without #apis. ??
