Open Source AI Stack: Models, Inference, and Agent Harness

The AI stack is rapidly expanding beyond the model. Join us as part of SF Tech Week for a moderated conversation featuring leaders from Artificial Analysis, Nous Research (Hermes Agent), RadixArk, and Vercel. Together, they’ll explore the open-source technologies shaping how the next generation of AI products is built and scaled. Come learn from the experts developing and evaluating the technologies behind modern AI applications, connect with other founders and builders, and leave with a clearer understanding of the stack powering the next wave of AI companies. Panelists-Banghua is the CTO of RadixArk and works on the SGLang and Miles projects.-Akshay is a Member of Technical Staff at Artificial Analysis, where he leads inference benchmarking, evaluating the performance, cost, and speed of AI models across inference providers.-Sam Herring is the ML Engineering Lead from Nous Research, focusing on post-training.-Walter Korman is a Tech Lead at Vercel for the AI Gateway and AI SDK products.
