About this event

Together AI and MiniMax bring builders, researchers and technical leaders together for a candid session on how open models change the economics of AI in production. The conversation covers where teams are seeing real cost savings, how they approach model selection and routing, and what it takes to move open models into production without giving up performance or reliability. Speakers include Rio Shen, GM of EMEA at MiniMax, alongside Max Ryabinin, VP of Model Shaping, and Sarung Tripathi, VP of Customer Experience, both at Together AI. Expect technical depth and practical numbers rather than a product walkthrough, followed by pizza, drinks and open conversation. A strong room for engineers, ML practitioners and technical founders making cost and architecture decisions about AI at scale.
