Foundation Models Go Vertical | Ascend
Every founder building on top of a foundation model is making the same bet: that the lab won't eat their lunch. This panel is where that bet gets stress-tested — by the people setting the rules at the labs, and the founder building directly in the blast radius.
Panel:
Moderator: Boaz Ashkenazy, founder & host @ Shift AI
Speaker: Ben Gaffney, deputy general counsel @ OpenAI
Speaker: Brian Hall, chief marketing officer @ Mistral AI
Speaker: Patrick Thompson, CEO @ Clarify
Speaker: Manos Koukoumidis, CEO @ Oumi
