08 Steve Will, Chief Architect of IBM i, is back on The Incredible i Show — and he’s bringing the fire. 🔥
In this episode, we unpack the newly released IBM i 7.6, where security takes center stage with integrated multi-factor authentication (MFA), full system encryption, and a push to adopt modern tools. Steve explains why this release is different — and what it means for Power10 (and beyond 👀).
We also dig into Code Assist, IBM’s AI-powered project for RPG development. Steve shares where things stand, what surprised him most, and what you can expect at POWERUp 2025.
💡 Topics we cover:
- What’s new in IBM i 7.6 (and why it matters)
- Why MFA is only available on 7.6+
- Code Assist progress, model training, and what’s next
- Lessons learned from collaborating across IBM
