Show off the frontier you’re building
Forge is built on what is actually shipping. If you’re training, fine-tuning, serving, or running agents in production, we want to hear how you did it: the architecture, the tradeoffs, the things that broke. Submit a talk and share your frontier with the room.
Make your own frontier.
A curated gathering of builders, researchers, and technical leaders pushing specialized intelligence forward. Apply to attend.
