Bring what you’re building to the Forge stage.

Forge is for the builders, researchers, and technical leaders who are building past the frontier with open weight models.

Have something worth sharing?

We're looking for practitioners with real lessons from putting specialized models into production. Tell us about the systems you built, the problems you hit, the experiments that changed your mind, and the trade-offs other teams should know.

Ideal sessions are:

• •Technical and substantive. Go past the high-level story and show how it works.
• •Grounded in experience. What you built, what you tested, what broke, what you changed.
• •Useful to other builders. Ideas and approaches people can take back to their own stack.

Topics may include training and fine-tuning, inference, evals, agents, model routing, specialized models, production AI systems, and novel approaches.
