Mixture of Experts | Hosted by Activate & Anthropic
Welcome to the latest edition of Mixture of Experts by Activate! Mixture of Experts is our intimate gathering of AI founders, engineers and industry leaders, where we dive deep into a focused theme, spark meaningful conversations around building in the AI ecosystem, and connect with peers building the future of AI.
Mixture of Experts: Building on the Frontier brings together a curated group of founders, AI engineers and technical leaders. As AI moves from experiments to mission-critical systems, the hard problems are shifting to infrastructure, inference, reliability and trust. This evening is designed for deep conversations and practical playbooks on building AI-native products and platforms that hold up at scale.
Our special guest for the evening is Rahul Patil, Chief Technology Officer at Anthropic. Rahul joined Anthropic in October 2025, where he oversees compute, infrastructure, inference and engineering. He previously served as CTO of Stripe, where he led engineering for systems at global payments scale. With more than 20 years of experience building mission-critical cloud infrastructure, he is known for a design-for-failure approach to resilient systems.
This session will be moderated by our host Pratyush Choudhury, Founder of Activate.
