AI in Production: What Arkansas Is Building Now

​AI in Production: What Arkansas Is Building Now

​A special dual-presentation night going deeper than we ever have. Two Arkansas teams. Two production AI stories. One evening.

​John McCrary | Ouachita Labs

​Real data. Production machine learning. What actually ships when the demo ends and the pipeline has to run every day.

​Arkana Laboratories

​Previously Impossible: AI Value Beyond Efficiency

​Presented by Owen Parker, CTO, and Kurtis Cochran, CFO.

​Clinical AI built in Little Rock. Their proprietary lab information system, a Blackwell-class GPU cluster, and the clinical machine-learning models moving renal pathology forward from right here.

​“Over the last two years we've rebuilt core processes at the largest renal pathology lab in the country with AI at the center. We're taking on work that would have cost millions in outside services, in domains that usually belong to the coasts.”

​Owen Parker, CTO, Arkana Laboratories
