About this event
Come help the Fastino Labs team warm up our new San Francisco office. Join us for a night of food, drinks, great conversations, and a panel on open-weight models.
Pulling their weight: shipping open models to production
Open-weight models are moving fast. Every week brings a new release, a new leaderboard shuffle, a new claim about parity with frontier closed models. Every team wants an open-weight model strategy, but it's hard to know where to start.
This panel brings together technical practitioners who evaluate, build, and ship models every day. You can expect a tactical and opinionated conversation, plus where the panelists think things are heading.
Panelists:
- Venkat Srinivasan, Research Scientist @ NVIDIA - Kathy Koverec, Member of Product Staff @ OpenAI - George Hurn-Maloney, CEO & Co-Founder @ Fastino Labs - more panelists to be announced... Agenda:
- 5:30 PM - Doors open, food and drinks - 6:00 PM - Panel and Q&A - 6:30 PM - Mingle the rest of the night
