Topic 2 - Let’s begin by talking about the challenges of running AI applications. What unique characteristics and requirements do AI applications have?

Topic 3 - Most AI applications run on GPUs. How do things change when using GPUs vs. CPUs to power AI applications? What is needed to get the most out of GPUs?

Topic 4 - As environments grow larger, what is needed to scale-up environments, both in terms of scheduling applications and managing the underlying GPU infrastructure?

Topic 5 - GPUs are not only expensive resources, but also in high-demand. How are companies doing capacity planning with GPUs? What struggles are you seeing companies have as they manage planning for AI projects?

Topic 6 - Are the new Large Language Models (LLMs) much different in size than AI models of the past?
