/ About this event

Join us during SF Tech Week for a technical evening focused on what it takes to build and deploy AI at scale.

We’ll bring together engineers, researchers, founders, and investors working across frontier models, inference, AI infrastructure, data systems, robotics, and large-scale deployment. The discussion will move beyond model demos into the harder systems questions: how compute architectures are evolving, where inference bottlenecks are emerging, how teams are building reliable AI systems in production, and what changes when AI is deployed across millions of users or physical infrastructure.

We’ll also explore the increasingly important intersection between models, compute, energy, data, and capital, and how new technology ecosystems are approaching AI infrastructure at a scale that would have been difficult to imagine only a few years ago.

Expect a highly technical audience, short discussions from builders in the space, and plenty of time for deeper conversations afterward.

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.
