Off the Record: What the model doesn't know yet
Presented by The MBA Fund, Harvard Alumni in Tech, and Accel.
Most of the work is happening after training. Fine-tuning, RLHF, inference optimization, evals, forward deployment: these are all where models become products, and where most founders are still figuring it out.
We're bringing together a panel of researchers and engineers who are doing this work in production, from DeepMind and Baseten, for an off-the-record conversation about what actually moves the needle, what's overhyped, and where the next wave of gains is coming from.
Agenda:
6:30 - 7PM: Welcome & Check-in
7 - 7:45PM: Panel discussion
7:45 - 8:30: Q&A and Networking
