The company behind Crossplane, a CNCF project that graduated at the end of 2025, announced its new Open Source project called Modelplane. The CNCF's CTO already mentioned on LinkedIn that this project would be a great fit for CNCF.
Basically, Modelplane is a control plane for AI inference built on Crossplane, which allows you to run any model on any serving engine on any infrastructure. Here's its brief description from the official announcement:
Modelplane sits above your inference clusters and operates them as one inference platform, reconciling the whole fleet toward the state you declare. It does for the fleet what Kubernetes does for the cluster: platform teams and developers describe what they want as Kubernetes resources, and Modelplane composes the clusters, places the models, and exposes the endpoints to match.
Additional resources include the getting started documentation and the GitHub repo.
