Agentic coding systems have crossed a threshold from experimentation to measurable economic impact. Their rapid adoption reveals a deeper shift: modern AI capability emerges from the co-evolution of models, training frameworks, inference engines, reinforcement systems, hardware, and cloud infrastructure, with open source enabling the flow of code, research, and operational knowledge across the stack. As performance gaps narrow and costs fall, this compounding intelligence system accelerates innovation and spreads capability across companies, industries, and hardware platforms, raising a simple question for the community: how fast do we want to evolve?

PyTorch has evolved from a research framework into a distributed-first platform powering production AI at massive scale. As models grow to hundreds of billions of parameters, this talk explores the challenges of scaling inference across nodes and the emerging ecosystem from Monarch and TorchTitan to open, hardware-agnostic systems that makes it possible.

The discipline of evaluating large language models underwent a major transformation with the rise of general AI capabilities. Today, the field is undergoing yet another challenging transformation following the groundbreaking improvements in agentic tasks, which expect models and systems to plan and take autonomous actions in the real world. Measuring how well models and systems perform in such tasks is however still i) fragile from a methodological perspective, and ii) difficult to scale and generalize across different domains. This talk will first discuss common challenges in reproducing agentic evaluations, including differences in reference implementation, error handling, trajectory post processing, and tooling definitions. Next, it will cover infrastructural requirements that need to be addressed for such evaluations to run efficiently at scale. Finally, we will conclude with a set of (still nascent) best practices that can help alleviate “lightness” and build more consistent measurement pipelines.

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.

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.
