Keynote: From Inference to Agents: Where Op... Jonathan Bryce, Brian Stevens, Mark Collier & Lin Sun

This talk features a fireside chat with Jonathan Bryce from CNCF, Brian Stevens from Red Hat, Mark Collier from the PyTorch Foundation, and Lin Sun from Solo.io, focusing on the evolving landscape of AI. The speakers discuss the explosive growth of AI inference in the real-world deployment of AI systems and the emerging concept of agentic AI. They delve into the new infrastructure needs driven by the expanding inference market, the likelihood of a multi-foundation approach in the broader AI ecosystem, and the implications of agentic systems on autonomy, orchestration, and runtime requirements for future open source collaboration.
