About Event
Join Baseten and Rootly AI in Toronto for an evening with engineers working at the front lines of production AI.
Our panel will explore what happens between “the model works” and “the model is in production.” That includes how forward deployed engineering differs from traditional ML engineering, what it takes to build custom solutions for demanding customers, and how teams keep AI systems fast and reliable once real traffic hits.
Topics we’ll dig into:
FDE vs. MLE: how the work, skills, and day-to-day actually differ
Real examples of building new, cutting-edge solutions for specific customer needs
Inference performance in practice, from speculative decoding to choosing the right optimizations for the job
Using AI to keep production systems reliable when things break
Panelists
Sylvain Kalache, Head of AI Labs, Rootly
Daniel Buades Marcos, Engineering Manager, Forward Deployed Engineering, Baseten
More speakers to be announced
