Keep the conversation going after Ray Summit & the vLLM Conference.
A year ago, open weights were a cost play: worse performance, cheaper price. Intelligence is the product now, & companies want to own it & compound it inside their own walls. This is a night for that shift: owning your intelligence, staying open across hardware & models, & valuemaxxing every dollar & hour of infra.
Join a select group of founders, engineers, & operators, & builders for demos worth watching, good conversation, & cold drinks in a room full of people who take tokens seriously.
