Beyond Summit (formerly Beyond CUDA)

Beyond Summit (formerly Beyond CUDA) is a one-day technical conference focused on open, high-performance AI infrastructure for production workloads. Aimed at engineers, researchers, infrastructure leads, and founders, the program covers optimizing workloads on alternative GPU platforms, distributed training performance, portability across frameworks (PyTorch, JAX), cost/capacity planning, and emerging non-transformer architectures. The event highlights practical deployment lessons and vendor-neutral strategies for scaling AI compute outside single-vendor lock-in — useful for startups evaluating production ML infrastructure choices.
