Open Intelligence: A documentary premiere
ABOUT THIS EVENT
- WHO IT IS FOR: AI engineers, developers, and tech enthusiasts interested in the infrastructure and accessibility of open-source artificial intelligence.
- WHAT IT IS ABOUT: An exploration of the AI inference layer and the economic challenges of maintaining truly open, scalable intelligence through the lens of SGLang and vLLM.
- FORMAT: A documentary premiere followed by a welcome reception, a Q&A session, and a networking mixer.
Join Modal at the Gray Area in San Francisco for the premiere of 'Open Intelligence,' a documentary that dives deep into the heart of the AI inference layer. The film examines the critical infrastructure required to run AI at scale and investigates whether open-source intelligence can ever be truly accessible, or if it will remain restricted by the high costs of compute power.
Through the parallel stories of SGLang and vLLM, the documentary asks the pivotal question of our era: can we achieve democratized AI, or is intelligence gated by those who can afford the hardware? After the screening, stay for an insightful Q&A with Charles Frye from Modal, followed by a networking session to connect with others in the AI and developer community.
