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
• Walter Korman is a Tech Lead at Vercel for the AI Gateway and AI SDK products.
• Sam Herring is the ML Engineering Lead from Nous Research, focusing on post-training.
• Mao Cheng is a core contributor to Miles and a Member of Technical Staff at RadixArk.
• Akshay Deshpande 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.

Exhibitors
• Command Code is the best coding agent for open models. It lives in your terminal and continuously learns your coding taste.
• MiniMax is a leading AI lab building a full-stack AI platform across foundation models, multimodal generation, and intelligent agents.
• TinyFish gives developers the infrastructure to build agents that reliably interact with the live web, navigating websites, executing multi-step workflows, and returning structured results.
• Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.
• Zoowork is the AI agent delivery platform for FDEs and domain experts. Build, deploy, and deliver production-ready AI agents to your team or clients in minutes.
