Thanks for attending, everyone. Here’s a brief summary of this month’s topics:

- The TF team is converting the official Python package builds & CI to use clang instead of gcc, for parity with Google’s internal builds. This will cause toil for community build maintainers who continue to use gcc; we will raise this to TF leads and see what they say.
- TensorFlow’s tools/ci\_build directory is difficult to maintain. We discussed options for handling this, including a nuclear one. No explicit decision made.
- XLA, MLIR and LLVM integrations continue to frustrate developers with lengthy TensorFlow build times, and more requests were made for ways to alleviate this.
