Build AI agents that own their inference - #SFTechWeek
Build AI Agents That Own Their Inference — Powered by Akamai Cloud
What if an AI agent could control the infrastructure behind its own intelligence?
Join us on October 12, 9:30 AM–8:30 PM PT, for a full day of hands-on building with Akamai Cloud. You’ll explore Akamai Cloud’s AI compute, GPU, and inference capabilities, then use a pre-provisioned sandbox to build and run an AI agent directly from your own machine—without waiting for infrastructure access.
We’ll start with a technical workshop introducing the platform and the idea of “agents that own their inference”: giving agents greater control over where and how their models run. After lunch and networking, we’ll shift into a two-plus-hour build sprint where you’ll turn what you learned into a working prototype.
Akamai Cloud engineers and technical experts will be available throughout the day to answer questions, troubleshoot, and help bring your idea to life. We’ll close with live demos, feedback from judges, and recognition for standout projects.
Come ready to write code, experiment, and meet other builders. You don’t need a finished idea—just bring your laptop and curiosity.
