Keynote: From Inference to Agents: Where Open Source AI Is Headed - Panel (ASL)

This talk features a fireside chat with Jonathan Bryce, Brian Stevens, Mark Collier, and Lin Sun, focusing on the future of open source AI as systems transition from training to real-world deployment. The speakers discuss the rapid growth of AI inference and its impact on infrastructure requirements, as well as the development of agentic AI. They emphasize the importance of multiple open-source foundations in the evolving AI ecosystem and examine the autonomy, orchestration, and runtime needs of agentic systems, which will shape the next generation of open source collaboration.
