Production AI won't consolidate around a single architecture, a single vendor, or a single cloud.
The Beyond Summit is where TensorWave brings together the builders reshaping AI infrastructure: engineers shipping models, researchers tuning performance, and leaders designing systems that change fast.
This is the community building for the reality ahead: ROCm is maturing, AMD Instinct GPUs are scaling in production, and heterogeneous systems are no longer theoretical... they’re a necessity.
What You’ll Learn
Technical deep-dives and hands-on workshops from practitioners running real workloads:
ROCm tips for training and inference
MI355X performance tuning
Kernel work for attention, quantization, and custom ops
Multi-GPU training and distributed patterns
How to get steady performance under real load
Portability across PyTorch, JAX, vLLM, and more
Migration patterns and deployment playbooks
Cost case studies with real TCO numbers
Capacity planning when demand spikes
What’s next beyond transformer-only models
Who You’ll Meet
Infrastructure engineers building critical AI systems
ML researchers pushing performance on mixed compute
Founders building groundbreaking AI products
Open-source maintainers shaping the next-gen ML ecosystem
CTOs and infrastructure leaders making strategic compute decisions
Why Attend
Break the lock-in. Competition drives better performance, pricing, and innovation. Every team building on open, high-performance infrastructure is proving that world-class AI doesn't require submitting to monopolistic pricing or playing allocation games with scarce capacity.
Build production systems that evolve. Learn how teams stay portable as models and frameworks change.
Master the second engine. High-performance, open infrastructure isn't an alternative. It's a second engine production teams can rely on. When AI becomes mission-critical, resilience, supply diversity, and architectural choice stop being nice-to-haves. They become baseline requirements.
Ship with confidence. Get predictable performance. Scale when you need it. Build infrastructure made for real production, not just benchmark runs that look good on launch day.
Learn from practitioners. Real performance numbers. Real cost models. Real struggles and wins from teams already in production.
Connect with your community. These are the architects, engineers, and researchers removing the single-vendor dependency and proving that production AI can run on competitive, open, high-performance infrastructure.
