From Exascale to Sovereign Intelligence: Powering National AI

abstract background

AI infrastructure is becoming a strategic national asset. Nations are investing in sovereign AI to boost economic competitiveness, scientific leadership, national security, and digital independence. Leaders from AMD, HPE, Bull, GENCI, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory will discuss building trusted AI ecosystems - from exascale supercomputers and sovereign clouds to AI factories and scientific infrastructure and the role of open ecosystems in enabling sovereign intelligence.

  • How to Right-size Your Memory

    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.
