ChatGPT and other massive models represents an amazing step forward in AI, yet they do not solve real-world business problems. In this session, Jordan Plawner, Global Director of Artificial Intelligence Product Manager and Strategy at Intel, surveys how the AI ecosystem has worked non-stop over this last year to take these all-purpose multi-task models and optimize them to they can be used by organizations to address domain specific problems. He explains these new AI-for-the-real world techniques and methods such as fine tuning and how they can be applied to deliver results which are highly performant with state-of-the-art accuracy while also being economical to build and deploy everywhere to enhance products and services.

Pratik Mishra delivered insights on architecting scalable, deployable, and resilient AI infrastructure at scale. His discussion on fault tolerance, checkpoint optimization, and the democratization of AI compute through AMD's open ecosystem resonated strongly with the challenges teams face in production ML deployments.
In this talk, Bin Fan, VP of Technology at Alluxio, presents on building tiered architectures that bring sub-millisecond latency to S3-based workloads. The comparison showing Alluxio's 45x performance improvement over S3 Standard and 5x over S3 Express One Zone demonstrated the critical role the performance & caching layer plays in modern AI infrastructure.
In this talk, Greg Lindstrom shared how Blackout Power Trading achieved double-digit millisecond offline feature store performance using Alluxio, a game-changer for real-time power trading where every millisecond counts. The 60x latency reduction for inference queries was particularly impressive.
