Open vs Closed Source Agent Infra?

MLOps.community · Intermediate ·📊 Data Analytics & Business Intelligence ·2mo ago
March 3rd, Computer History Museum CODING AGENTS CONFERENCE, come join us while there are still tickets left. https://luma.com/codingagents Thanks to @ProsusGroup for collaborating on the Agents in Production Virtual Conference 2025. Abstract // The rapid evolution of AI agents is fueled by the collaborative power of the open-source community. This panel explores how the democratization of foundational components—including open model weights, permissible datasets, and open RL/planning algorithms—is dramatically reducing the barrier to entry for production-ready agents. When these assets are combined with open communication protocols, development velocity skyrockets. We'll discuss the practical benefits of this approach: developers can fine-tune specialized agent models without massive proprietary costs, researchers can transparently audit the full stack for safety and reliability, and organizations gain the agility to adapt algorithms and protocols to unique business needs. This panel talks about the strategic necessity of an entirely open-source approach to ensure the future of production agents is trustworthy, accessible, and fast-moving. Bio // Ben Epstein ( Panel Host) // Ben was the machine learning lead for Splice Machine, leading the development of their MLOps platform and Feature Store. He is now a the Co-founder and CTO at GrottoAI focused on supercharging multifamily teams and reduce vacancy loss with AI-powered guidance for leasing and renewals. Ben also works as an adjunct professor at Washington University in St. Louis teaching concepts in cloud computing and big data analytics. Adel El Hallak (Panelist) // Adel El Hallak is Senior Director of Software Product Management for NVIDIA AI Enterprise, a suite of APIs, libraries, and runtimes that simplify the development, deployment, and scaling of AI applications. He focuses on microservices and blueprints for building and operationalizing production-grade AI agentic systems through NVIDIA's partner
