Panel: Agent Infrastructure Roundtable 2026

Panel: Agent Infrastructure Roundtable 2026

Panelist alongside leaders from Stanford, Salesforce, and the MBZUAI Institute for Foundation Models, moderated by Intel: what changes in the infrastructure stack when agents move from prototypes to persistent, production-scale systems, and where silicon, governance, memory, and orchestration need to land.

AMD Advancing AI 2026, San Francisco & Shanghai · Jul 2026 · Workshop

Vibe Coding with Local Models

Hands-on workshop delivered at AMD's flagship Advancing AI event in San Francisco (with Iswarya Alex) and at Advancing AI Day in Shanghai: harnessing the on-device power of the Ryzen AI Max 395 to run large coding models locally with Lemonade Server, no cloud, no API keys. Attendees architect specialized AI agents with Qwen Coder and watch them collaborate to build something they'll actually want to play.
