/ About this event
Voice AI has a problem: the smartest models think too long. The fastest models don’t think enough. Humans expect conversation to happen in real time. But the models capable of the deepest reasoning are often too slow for natural dialogue and the models fast enough to keep up can struggle with the intelligence, judgment, and nuance the moment demands.
So how do you build a model that can think deeply and answer instantly? In Healthcare this is tablestake, life and death.
We're thrilled to confirm a panel of leading voice AI researchers and scientists tackling the field's hardest problem: building models that reason deeply and respond instantly, with the inference speed, latency, empathy, and audio quality healthcare demands. Lead researchers Kriti Aggarwal, Director, Model Alignment, Shanil Puri, Senior Director of Speech Technologies and Subhabrata Mukherjee, Co-Founder & Chief Scientific Officer from Hippocratic AI are being joined by Rissa Cao, CEO & Co-founder of Fish Audio; Ben Shabobo, FDE, Modal; Kunal Dhawan, Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA; and Romil Bhardwaj, Co-founder & CPO of SkyPilot.

One demo. No slides. No hackathon. Just 25 minutes on the technical problem, what’s changing, and where the breakthroughs might come from.
Then we open the bar and host drinks for the engineers, researchers, and model trainers who want to keep the conversation going.
Come talk models, training, speed, intelligence—and what it is taking to make AI truly conversational.
This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
