Behind the Build - From Energy to Tokens

​Behind the Build: From Energy to Tokens

​During SC26 week in Chicago, join SLYD, ElioVP and Paiton at The Clayton for an evening of cigars, bourbon and conversation about what it takes to turn energy into AI output.

​We’re bringing together people building, operating, financing and investing across the AI infrastructure stack - from power, cooling and modular data centers to compute, networking, storage and software. That includes Paiton’s approach to optimizing inference on AMD GPUs, connecting hardware performance to the economics of producing tokens.

​Whether you’re scaling an AI lab, serving inference, building agentic workflows or developing infrastructure, come connect with others working through the same challenges.

​An informal evening to exchange ideas, compare experiences and meet potential collaborators across the path from energy to tokens.

​Tuesday, November 17 · 6:30–9:30 p.m. Central
The Clayton · 212 N. Canal Street, Chicago
