^◡^•‿•Join SGLang, HOF Capital, Crusoe, Cloudflare, and Arklex AI for an evening of lightning talks and conversation with the people building inference systems for finance.
Inference is the next frontier in finance. LLMs are moving beyond experimental tooling into latency-sensitive production workflows across trading, research, compliance, and risk. The constraints that come with that — throughput, structured outputs, on-prem deployment, cost per token — are now first-class strategic concerns.
What to expect
5 lightning talks from inference engineers, infrastructure providers, founders, and researchers, followed by an open happy hour with drinks and food.
6:00–6:30 — arrival, drinks, mingling
6:30–7:30 — lightning talks + light Q&A
7:30–9:00 — open happy hour
Speakers include
- Liangsheng Yin, core developer of SGLang, MTS at RadixArk
- Mao Cheng, core developer of Miles, MTS at RadixArk
- Omri Berkovitch, Staff Researcher at Crusoe
- Michelle Chen, Principal Product Manager at Cloudflare
- Zhou Yu, Associate Professor at Columbia, Co-founder & CEO of Arklex AI
(Full lineup announced soon.)
Who's in the room
Expected attendees include engineers, researchers, and decision-makers from leading quant funds, banks, and trading firms including Jane Street, Citadel, Two Sigma, Goldman Sachs, Bloomberg, and more.
