Welcome to the debut episode of AI Guide to the Galaxy, hosted by Oleg Šelajev, Staff Community Success Manager at Docker!
In this first episode, Oleg is joined by Michael Irwin, Principal Engineer on Docker’s DevRel team, for a deep-dive into how Docker is supporting modern AI development. Broadcasting just after the WeAreDevelopers conference in Berlin, they unpack Docker’s latest announcements, hands-on demos, and what it all means for developers building agentic applications.
🧠 Topics Covered:
- What agentic applications are—and how they differ from traditional GenAI tools
- The evolution of Docker Compose to support AI models, tools, and agent logic
- A walkthrough of new Compose features for defining and connecting models and tools
- Introduction to the MCP Gateway – Docker’s new open-source toolkit for tool orchestration
- Live demo: Automating PR feedback using multiple LLMs in Compose
- A look at Minimal Viable Models (MVM) and choosing the right LLM for your app
= Deep dive into Docker Offload, a new cloud-based compute environment for AI workloads
- Resource management, quantization tradeoffs, GPU selection, and more
🔗 Resources Mentioned:
🧪 Docker Compose for Agents GitHub Repo: github.com/docker/compose-for-agents
🧠 Docker Offload Beta – Sign Up: docker.com/products/docker-offload/#earlyaccess
🛠 MCP Gateway GitHub Repo: github.com/docker/mcp-gateway
💬 Join the conversation on Docker Community Forums:forums.docker.com
If you're a developer working with AI, tools, or agent-based architectures, this episode is packed with insights and practical examples.
