What happens when AI can see, hear, remember — and run closer to the user? Join Clipto during SF Tech Week for an intimate evening exploring the next frontier of personal AI — from on-device intelligence and multimodal models to persistent memory.
We’re bringing together researchers, founders, and investors from Clipto, Google DeepMind, NVIDIA AI Research, and EnvisionX to discuss how AI is evolving beyond cloud-only systems — and what the next generation of personal AI infrastructure could look like.
Featured Speakers Dr. Henry Kang — CEO & Founder, Clipto; two-time founder with two previous startups acquired by Tencent Dr. Edward Chang — Adjunct Professor at Stanford, IEEE fellow, CEO of Quadrium Al Chris Messina - Product Leader, Inventor of the Hashtag #1 Hunter on Product Hun Holly Zheng — Founding Partner of EnvisionX Capital, Chairwoman of BlueFocus International Dr. Li Zhang — Senior Staff Research Engineer, Google DeepMind Dr. Ruichao Ren — Principal, NVIDIA AI Research
We’ll explore - Why AI is moving beyond cloud-only architectures toward on-device and edge-cloud systems - How multimodal models are trained and optimized for efficient real-world on-device deployment - The trade-offs across privacy, latency, compute, and cost - How persistent memory can improve context, continuity, and agent performance - How models, memory, and orchestration are converging into a new AI system architecture
Following the panel, stay for drinks, light bites, and conversations with founders, researchers, investors, and builders across the AI community.
Hosted by Clipto, a personal AI company building the memory infrastructure for the AI era, backed by HSG (formerly Sequoia China), GL Ventures, EnvisionX Capital, Palm Drive Capital, Hans Tung, and other leading investors.
