Keynote: Co-Evolution: How the Open Source Intelligence Stack Compounds - Mark Collier

Keynote: Co-Evolution: How the Open Source Intelligence Stack Compounds - Mark Collier, Executive Director, PyTorch Foundation, General Manager, AI & Infrastructure, Linux Foundation Agentic coding systems have crossed a threshold from experimentation to measurable economic impact. Their rapid adoption reveals a deeper shift: modern AI capability emerges from the co-evolution of models, training frameworks, inference engines, reinforcement systems, hardware, and cloud infrastructure, with open source enabling the flow of code, research, and operational knowledge across the stack. As performance gaps narrow and costs fall, this compounding intelligence system accelerates innovation and spreads capability across companies, industries, and hardware platforms, raising a simple question for the community: how fast do we want to evolve?
