Welcome to the Modelplane blog

A quick tour of what you can write here: rich text, code, callouts, images, video, and embeds, all submitted through a normal pull request.

This is the Modelplane blog. It is open source: posts live in the repository as Markdown, and anyone can propose one through a pull request. When a maintainer merges your PR, your post goes live.

This first post doubles as a reference. It shows every building block you can use so you can copy what you need into your own draft.

Writing in MDX

Posts are written in MDX, which is Markdown plus a small set of safe components. Everything ordinary Markdown does works here: bold, italic, inline code, links, lists, and quotes.

The control plane reconciles desired state against the real fleet, continuously, without a human in the loop.

  • Run any model on infrastructure you own
  • Cloud, neocloud, or on-premise
  • One control plane across all of it

Code blocks

Fenced code blocks are syntax highlighted at build time, with optional titles and line highlighting:

reconcile.py
def reconcile(desired, observed):
    for workload in desired:
        if workload not in observed:
            schedule(workload)  # bring the fleet toward desired state
    return observed

Callouts

Use callouts to draw attention to a note, tip, or warning.

Heads up

Co-locate post images and video under public/blog/<slug>/ and reference them with absolute paths.

Tip

Open a draft PR to get a Vercel preview URL, then share it for review before the post is published.

Note

Only the components documented in the contributor guide are available. Unknown tags will fail the build.

Images

Standard Markdown images render as captioned figures. The alt text becomes the caption:

Tables

GitHub-flavored tables are supported:

ProviderTypeStatus
AWSCloudSupported
CoreWeaveNeocloudSupported
On-premOwnedSupported

Video and embeds

Embed a YouTube video with the <YouTube> component:

For self-hosted clips use <Video src="/blog/your-slug/demo.mp4" />, and for other providers use <Embed src="https://..." />.


That is the whole toolkit. Copy this file, change the frontmatter, and start writing. See the contributor guide for the full reference.
