Pulling their weight: Shipping open models to production

​Come help the Fastino Labs team warm up our new San Francisco office. Join us for a night of food, drinks, great conversations, and a panel on open-weight models.

​Pulling their weight: shipping open models to production

​Open-weight models are moving fast. Every week brings a new release, a new leaderboard shuffle, a new claim about parity with frontier closed models. Every team wants an open-weight model strategy, but it's hard to know where to start.

​This panel brings together technical practitioners who evaluate, build, and ship models every day. You can expect a tactical and opinionated conversation, plus where the panelists think things are heading.

​Panelists:

• ​Venkat Srinivasan, Research Scientist @ NVIDIA

• ​Kathy Koverec, Member of Product Staff @ OpenAI

• ​Man Luo, Senior ML Scientist @ Abridge

• ​Alex Marquez, Global Head of Experian Ventures

• ​Moderated by George Hurn-Maloney, CEO & Co-Founder @ Fastino Labs

​Agenda:

• ​5:30 PM - Doors open, food and drinks

• ​6:00 PM - Panel and Q&A

• ​6:30 PM - Mingle the rest of the night

​Food will be provided onsite by https://www.tonayense.com/ in our parking lot. Each guest will receive a complimentary meal voucher at check-in.
