Open Intelligence Summit

October 12–13, 2026The Midway, San Francisco

Own your intelligence.

The argument is no longer “is open source AI cheaper.” It’s now “who owns intelligence.” A movement is forming around Open Intelligence: the belief that the intelligence powering our products and companies should be more open, portable, and controllable.

Join DigitalOcean, RadixArk, Inferact, and more for deep dives, demos, and discussions about the technologies that keep intelligence portable, interoperable, and in the hands of builders.

What you’ll leave with

Where openness wins

More choice, better economics, faster innovation, and more control.

A practical playbook

What it takes to keep intelligence portable, interoperable, and owned.

Who it’s for

Builders who want choice, innovation, and control over their future.

Agenda at a glance

BUILD

Start with your data and your alpha.#

Explore how open intelligence gets built and made your own, from data, signals, and open weights to fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, synthetic data, and post-training.

SERVE

Control the intelligence economics.#

Go inside the open inference stack, from serving engines and runtimes to routing, caching, GPU utilization, latency, throughput, and multi-model orchestration.

RUN

Own the end user interaction.#

See how intelligence is used  through open harnesses, agents, tools, and protocols, including agent workflows, memory, tool use, MCP, and user-facing applications.

Help shape the open intelligence movement.

Open Intelligence is built by the people who show up. Share what you’re building on stage, or put your brand behind the future of open intelligence.
