With Gradient x Google Deepmind.

Open models are improving faster than most teams can evaluate them. Every release introduces new capabilities, new tradeoffs, & new decisions around inference, fine-tuning, serving, & production performance.

Together with Gradient & Google DeepMind, we're bringing AI engineers, researchers, technical founders, & open-source builders together in San Francisco to build with the latest open models, compare approaches, & see how they perform on real problems.
