Talks
Talk 1: Three Paradigm Shifts in AI Over the Last Decade
Speaker: Robert Nishihara, Co-Founder of Anyscale
Abstract: AI has undergone three paradigm shifts over the last 10 years. We've begun understanding the role of scaling in AI. We've solved unsupervised learning. Our perspective on the role of data in AI has become far more nuanced. This talks will give an overview of some of the major breakthroughs, where the field is heading now, and how AI infrastructure will need to evolve to enable continued progress in AI including the emergence of AI compute engines like Ray.
Talk 2: How We Built an Agentic Data Engine
Speaker: Frederik Hvilshøj, Lead ML Engineer at Encord
Talk 3: Scaling Large Robot Data for Industrial Reliability
Speaker: Vishal Satish, Foundation Model Lead @ Ambi Robotics
Abstract: This talk explores how Ambi Robotics is leveraging over 200k hours of high-fidelity production data to train PRIME-1, a domain-expert foundation model that demonstrates a high degree of reliability required for industrial applications such as stereo vision and robotic pick planning. PRIME-1 also exhibits neural scaling laws traditionally found in Large Language Models (LLMs), validating their data-flywheel approach.
