Who’s Winning the Enterprise AI Model Wars with ETR
Erik Bradley from ETR, now a Futurum company, presented findings on the “model wars” in enterprise AI, focusing on how actual enterprises are rating and using various models rather than just benchmark rulings. ETR’s research spans 16 years, drawing insights from over 10,000 vetted technology leaders overseeing significant annual technology spend. This proprietary dataset, comprising […]
Signal65 PINNACLE the Measure of Working Intelligence
Ryan Shrout, who leads Signal65, presented Pinnacle as an innovative approach to performance analysis and testing for AI models. Drawing from his extensive background in measuring CPU and GPU performance, including a tenure at Intel’s competitive analysis group, he highlighted that Pinnacle moves beyond traditional benchmarks that offer mere numbers or speed. The core objective […]
Welcome to the Loop AI Inference Lifecycle with DDN
DDN, represented by Eric Wright and Scott Ekstrom, presented an overview of the complex AI inference lifecycle, highlighting their role in optimizing this process. The presentation, titled “Welcome to the Loop,” illustrated the end-to-end path, beginning with initial prompts and system instructions that form the critical context. DDN’s solution leverages its technology to load this […]
To Infinia and Beyond AI Inferencing with DDN
DDN, represented by Eric Wright and Scott Ekstrom, discussed their solutions for AI inferencing, building on their success in AI training. They highlighted the AI data pipeline as a continuous loop involving ingest, prepare, train, and inference stages. DDN’s Exascaler is used for the ingest, prepare, and train phases, while their Infinia product addresses inference […]
Thinking Fast and Furious Inferencing with DDN
Eric Wright, a consulting solutions architect with DDN, introduced the presentation by highlighting the growing importance of AI inference workloads, which now account for 80% of AI activity compared to training. He characterized this shift as “thinking fast and furious,” drawing an analogy to human cognitive processes, where training and inference operate in the same […]

CoreWeave Inference From Model Training to Production Scale Serving
Nisha Nadkarni, a specialist field engineer at CoreWeave, delivered a presentation on CoreWeave inference, detailing the process from model training to production scale serving. She introduced CoreWeave Forge as an additional development layer built upon CoreWeave’s core compute offerings, designed to help users construct AI models and agents with familiar frameworks. A significant part of […]
Post-Training on CoreWeave Forge
David Corbitt introduces CoreWeave Forge post-training, explaining how his background co-founding OpenPipe led to CoreWeave acquiring the company to bring accessible fine-tuning to enterprises. Forge provides an integrated environment where observability, post-training, and inference work together in a continuous improvement cycle. Teams observe production behavior, extract traces to form evaluation or training datasets, alter the […]
Connecting the AI Loop with CoreWeave Forge
Shane Robbins from CoreWeave discusses the fundamental shift occurring as artificial intelligence initiatives transition from experimental pilots to production deployments. While pilot projects permit flexible timelines, limited users, and manual oversight, production applications demand rigorous reliability at scale, strong governance, security, and continuous improvement. Traditional software development operates linearly through building, deploying, and monitoring, whereas […]
