Keynote: To Nemotron and Beyond: Building the Open Source AI Ecosystem

Overview: The era of open weights has arrived — and it is reshaping every layer of the AI stack, from chips and infrastructure all the way up to the applications that create real-world value. This transformation has deep roots. Over two decades ago, NVIDIA opened up GPU computing with CUDA, laying the foundation for the developer ecosystem that would eventually power the AI revolution. That same philosophy continues today — through the Nemotron model family, NeMo Agent Toolkit, and Cosmos — contributing t

Key Topics: o a growing open stack that any developer, researcher, or startup can build on. We are now entering the era of agentic AI, where open-source stacks enable developers to go beyond inference and build systems that reason, plan, and act.
