FARR Summit

The speed of development becomes your moat. @ramin_m_h, Co-founder & CEO of Liquid AI, opened FARR Summit with a powerful keynote on building foundation models that run outside the data center, from first principles. 1. Instead of designing the architecture around the team’s own biases, Liquid AI built an AI system to design it. The result was Liquid Foundation Models. 2. Efficient AI can’t ignore hardware. Hardware and software should be co-designed. 3. The game is product, and the ultimate moat is deep integration. FARRsummit.com #FARR #FARRSummit #SFTechWeek

"Agentic AI is really where AI moves from impressive demos to real-world impact." @chloe_ma , Chief Business Officer at EPIC Semi, on why the AI era needs a new type of compute: 1. An agentic task moves back and forth between CPUs and GPUs, typically 10 to 50 times. More GPUs alone won't make it faster. 2. EPIC Semi puts CPU cores and AI accelerator cores on one chip with shared memory, so data doesn't have to move back and forth. 3. Both are built on RISC-V, an open architecture. In Chloe's words, "our commitment to openness, choice and technological sovereignty." FARRSummit.com #FARR #FARRSummit #SFTechWeek

"The future of intelligence will be one highly optimized combined human and AI system." Radiology's Shortage Crisis and the Human-AI Solution. That was @loublanks's talk at FARR. What the co-founder and CEO of Cognita has learned: 1. Imaging volumes grow 4% a year, but the number of radiologists has been flat for almost a decade. 2. With AI, humans are now finding 50% more pancreatic lesions. 3. He once thought AI would replace radiologists. Now he says human intelligence and AI are fundamentally different, and the future is the two combined. FARRsummit.com #FARR #FARRSummit #sftechweek

"Humans are directing the AI, not the other way around." @RajeevRonanki , Founder and CEO of Signal Labs, on Humans in the Right Loop at FARR. What stayed with us: 1. At Elevance Health, his team hit its goal of automating contact centers by 50%. But they missed the bigger point: the contact centers could have been a source of signal. That question led to Signal Labs. 2. "Human in the loop" isn't enough when the loop spins faster and faster. Enterprises need the right attention infrastructure, so humans are in the right loop at the right time. 3. Humans have to lead in three places: setting the right goals, designing the systems to reach them, and jumping back in when AI drifts at runtime. FARRsummit.com #FARR #FARRSummit #SFTechWeek

One day. Many perspectives. A future still unfolding. A heartfelt thank you to every speaker, moderator, and guest who made FARR possible. On October 5, FARR brought together voices across Frontier AI, Autonomy, Research, and Robotics, exploring questions that reach far beyond any single discipline. To our speakers and moderators: thank you, truly. Thank you for your time, your candor, and your willingness to bring open questions instead of easy answers. You gave the room its spark, and so many of the conversations you started are still going. With deep gratitude to: Speakers @ramin_m_h · Lindsey Irvine · @chloe_ma · @BartonBetsy5 · @RisaWechsler · @eshear · @steipete · @sam_debrouwer · Killian Murphy · @AzadehYazdan · @aparnacd · Mikayel Khachatryan · @RajeevRonanki · @touraj · @ChrisCassotis · Justine Kasznica · @KiteVC · @mmoazami · @loublanks Moderators @JoshConstine · @bilawalsidhu · @marilynika · @thebenbergman A special thank you to @ivanlinn_ for the music and @austinnasso for the laughs. And to everyone in the FARR community who joined us in the room: thank you for the ideas, the unexpected connections, and the conversations worth continuing. The summit may be over. The questions aren't. With gratitude, The FARR Team FARR is the force behind consequential people and ideas. farrsummit.com #FARRSummit #FrontierAI #Robotics #AIResearch #SFTechWeek

The best kickstart of SF Tech Week! 🚀

Super excited for this!! 🚀

catch Peter on stage today! The best way to kick off SF tech week! 🚀 #SFtechweek @Techweek_

1 Day to FARR. We're bringing the researchers, builders and founders shaping Frontier AI, Autonomy, Research and Robotics into one room in San Francisco. FARR is the force behind consequential people and ideas. The future isn't that FARR. It's tomorrow. @Techweek_ 👉FARRsummit.com #FARR #FARRSummit #SFTechWeek #FrontierAI #Autonomy #Robotics #AIResearch #SanFrancisco

We are delighted to welcome @Grace_JBrown, Co-founder & CEO of Andromeda Robotics, and her companion robot Abi to FARR. Grace is a mechatronics engineer who has been building robots since she was a teenager. At Andromeda, she and her team created Abi, a companion robot for aged care and assisted living, built to help older adults feel less alone. Abi speaks 90 languages, recognizes faces, understands and expresses emotion, and remembers the conversations she's had. She sings, dances, plays games and chats with residents, one-on-one or in a group. You'll get to meet Abi in person at FARR. 📍 San Francisco · October 5 @Techweek_ Request an invite: luma.com/FARRsummit FARR is the force behind consequential people and ideas. #FARRSummit #Robotics #HumanRobotInteraction #CompanionRobots #AgedCare #FrontierTech

We are honored to welcome @chloe_ma , Chief Business Officer at EPIC Semi, to FARR. At EPIC Semi, Chloe leads global partnerships, strategy and go-to-market, building a KSA-rooted portfolio of silicon, components and systems for sovereign AI deployment from cloud to edge. Her career spans semiconductors, networking and AI infrastructure, with roles at Arm, Intel, Mellanox and SiFive, as well as Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks. At Arm, she led go-to-market for Edge AI and Robotics. At Intel, she drove CSP platform marketing across the Super 7 hyperscalers. At Mellanox, she doubled cloud revenue. A frequent keynote speaker, Chloe holds an MBA from Wharton and an MSEE from USC. We're looking forward to hearing her take on what sovereign AI looks like in practice. 📍 San Francisco · October 5 @Techweek_ Request an invite: luma.com/FARRsummit FARR is the force behind consequential people and ideas. #FARRSummit #SovereignAI #Semiconductors #EdgeAI #AIInfrastructure #Robotics
