  • Power is Your Biggest Hidden Cost: How AMD Can Help

    Power is the AI infrastructure cost nobody budgets for until it breaks the business case. In this interactive technical session, an expert from 5C joins AMD to unpack how power consumption impacts total cost of ownership across inference and training deployments. Discuss how intelligent power management, real-world thermal constraints, and silicon-level efficiency shape what your AI infrastructure can sustain. Practical insight for architects and operators making deployment decisions today.;Power is the AI infrastructure cost nobody budgets for until it breaks the business case.

  • 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.
