  • Creating CPU Inference and Agentic Performance Transparency

    Your finance team doesn't care about tokens per second. They care about predictable costs, compliance risk, and vendor lock-in. With agentic AI, the metrics for tracking success are even more complex. But benchmarks don't answer the question that actually matters: Should you undertake this effort and is it viable for your business? In this interactive technical discussion, we’ll break down the tradeoffs, work through the math, and pressure-test the strategy together.;Your finance team doesn't care about tokens per second.

  • Tool Calling Robots: Agentic Workflows Complementing Physical AI

    Robots with tool calling capabilities expose coarse- and fine-grained control as software APIs. A robot with access to these APIs can then reason over what it sees, adjusting cameras, checking for humans, or sequencing actions – all before any motion executes. Join us for an interactive discussion to have all your questions answered on how this agentic layer, running on capable edge hardware, can greatly amplify the emerging benefits of physical AI.;Robots with tool calling capabilities expose coarse- and fine-grained control as software APIs.

  • Introduction to Robotics with ROS2 on AMD

    This intermediate, interactive session focuses on deploying an end-to-end Vision-Language-Action (VLA) pipeline using ROS 2 and multimodal models to control a robotic arm. Participants will work through the steps to build and deploy a system that responds to physical inputs with real-world actions. Prior familiarity with ROS 2 and VLA concepts is recommended.;This intermediate, interactive session focuses on deploying an end-to-end Vision-Language-Action (VLA) pipeline using ROS 2 and multimodal models to control a robotic arm.

  • Implementing Enterprise Agentic AI with AMD EPYC and AMD Instinct

    gentic AI is more than something you “chat with”. It is a digital assistant that works in cycles until the job is done. This shift from conversation to looping action is transforming business processes and fundamentally changing compute needs. In this session, learn why agentic AI is a general-purpose computing paradigm, what makes a good agent CPU, how to match infrastructure to workload needs, and how a real end customer embraced agentic AI successfully.;Agentic AI is more than something you “chat with”.
