AI Engineer Fair Closing Happy Hour by vLLM & Novita

Cap off AI Engineer World's Fair with a matcha open bar featuring egg tarts, mochi donuts, and special guests from leading teams across the AI stack. Join AI builders, founders, and researchers for casual conversations on leading open source models, inference, infrastructure, and recent developments. Here's who you'll meet: vLLM is the open source inference engine that powers a huge share of the open model ecosystem. It started at UC Berkeley and now supports 200+ model architectures across NVIDIA, AMD, TPUs, and more.Novita AI is an AI cloud platform helping builders serve and scale models and agentic workloads with strong performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.Inferact is the startup from the creators and core maintainers of vLLM, building toward a future where serving any frontier model is as simple as spinning up a database.Remy is an agent that helps you build a powerful full stack application in a few prompts, and without the hassle w/ figuring out the infrastructure.Frontier AI model labs such as Z.AI (GLM 5.2) developing foundational models and publishing/benchmarking new capabilities. The format is a fun, casual happy hour with a brief intro from our special guests near the beginning. Come for the free drinks, stay for the ideas, and leave with new connections.
