/ About this event
Open-weight models now match closed frontier models on most production workloads. The hard part is no longer capability. It is everything around it.
Join PrimaLabs during San Francisco Tech Week for a practical conversation about what changes when the weights are yours: cost structure, latency under real traffic, data residency, and the operational work that never shows up in a benchmark table.
We will cover where open models win today, where they still lose, and what it takes to run them in production without a research team on staff.
No benchmark theater. No vendor pitch. Just engineers and operators talking about what they run and what it costs.
Expect specific numbers, real deployment stories, and time to connect with founders, infrastructure engineers, and investors working on inference.
Panel runs 5:30 to 6:30, drinks and conversation after. Space is limited and RSVPs are approved individually.
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.
