Beyond the Prompt: AI Inference x Context Engineering with Uber, Wisdom AI, EvenUp and Datastrato
AI innovation no longer ends at generating responses. The real breakthroughs are happening in how models infer, interpret, and act on context. From powering smarter agents to enabling domain-specific workflows, inference and context engineering are redefining the boundaries of intelligence.
This event brings together founders, researchers, and operators at the frontier of inference systems, context design, and applied AI. Together, we’ll explore how to build scalable, efficient, and trustworthy AI that goes far beyond the prompt.
