Infra: The New Moat in AI #NYTechWeek
Hosted by VAST Data, Atlas Cloud, Alchemist Accelerator, AI Circle
❛ᴗ❛As frontier models become widely available — open-sourced, commoditized, or served via API — the real competitive edge in AI shifts away from what you're running to how you run it. In 2025, infrastructure is the new moat.
This session dives into the technical, strategic, and operational layers that turn infra from cost center to unfair advantage. We’ll explore what elite infra stacks look like behind top AI products, what makes them hard to replicate, and how infra decisions shape velocity, cost, performance, and ultimately — market dominance.
Who should attend:
- Founders
- CTOs
- MLOps
- LLMOps
- AI Platforms
- AI/ML Engineers
- Cloud Infra Engineers
- AI Infra & Orchestrations
- Infra teams who are thinking about scale, defensibility, and what makes their product truly differentiated.
