Sponsored Keynote: Open Source Infrastructure for the AI Native Era - Jonathan Bryce, Executive Director, Cloud Native Computing Foundation

Wednesday April 8, 2026 09:45 - 09:50 CEST

Master Stage

AI adoption will not be limited by model ideas alone. It will be limited by how fast we can deploy, secure, observe, and scale AI systems in production. Inference is where AI becomes real for most organizations. As AI moves from frontier labs into mainstream production, the operational challenges start to look increasingly cloud native: orchestration, autoscaling, routing, security, policy, and observability. This keynote explores why the next phase of AI adoption will move faster if PyTorch and cloud native communities work together to extend proven open source patterns.

Speakers

Keynote: Gemma 4: Compacting Intelligence for the Edge - Léonard Hussenot, Research Scientist, Google Deepmind

Wednesday April 8, 2026 09:50 - 10:05 CEST

Master Stage

This talk explores the philosophy and engineering behind Gemma 4, arguing that the future of AI isn't only about size, but about "intelligence per byte."
We will dive into why compacting intelligence—maximizing the reasoning and instruction following ability of every single token—is the ultimate bottleneck for truly useful AI. By optimizing for token efficiency and memory footprints, we unlock a new class of applications that are faster, private, and more accessible.

Speakers

Leonard Hussenot

Research Scientist, Google Deepmind

I am a Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, where I lead the Gemma post-training team focused on developing the most useful compact models for on-device applications. Since joining Google Brain, I have contributed to the evolution of Bard, Gemini, and Gemma, specializing in scaling... Read More →
