What open agents can actually do: a happy hour with Together AI & NVIDIA

What happens when AI agents stop working in isolation and start working together? James Zou (Head of Frontier Agents, Together AI) and Venkat Srinivasan (Research Scientist, NVIDIA) are approaching that question from two directions, one from the research frontier, one from the model side, and finding they're working on the same problem. James will share what his team (authors of EinsteinArena and DSGym ) is learning about collective agent intelligence: how agents that collaborate, compete, and build on each other's work are driving scientific discovery at a pace no single model could match, and what open infrastructure makes that possible. Venkat brings the model side of the picture: a founding engineer at NexusFlow AI now working on the Nemotron model at NVIDIA, with a view on what open models need to do to power the next generation of agentic systems. One fireside chat, live Q&A from the audience, then the rest of the evening is yours. Stay for the food, the tap wall, the hallway conversations, and the World Cup on the big screen. Come curious.
