PyTorch, Powering the Enterprise
PyTorch, Powering the Enterprise brought to you by Red Hat, NVIDIA, and IBM PyTorch, and its ecosystem, such as vLLM, Ray, and Helion, have grown to become the foundation of the AI world. Along with this growth PyTorch has moved from the research labs to power the largest Enterprise companies. Come learn and interact with the companies helping to bring PyTorch to its full enterprise potential, hosted by Red Hat, NVIDIA, and IBM. Agenda 9:30–9:45 AM — PyTorch and the Open Ecosystem Behind Enterprise AISpeaker: Stephen Watt (PyTorch Board Member, Red Hat)How does an open source research framework become a foundation for enterprise AI? This opening keynote explores the role of PyTorch, its community and the broader ecosystem in connecting model development with real-world applications. Attendees will learn how shared infrastructure, open collaboration and customer participation shape the choices available to businesses investing in AI. 9:45–10:15 AM — From Models to Business Value: Navigating the PyTorch EcosystemSpeakers: Joseph Groenenboom (PyTorch Ecosystem and TAC, Red Hat), Chris Hoge (Chair PyTorch Ecosystem, NVIDIA)A useful model is only one part of a successful AI application. This session begins with the core PyTorch project and maps the journey from model development to deployment and ongoing operations, showing where PyTorch and complementary ecosystem projects fit. Business and technology leaders will leave with a framework for evaluating interoperability, skills, support and operating costs—and deciding which capabilities to build, adopt or source from partners. 10:15–10:45 AM — The Economics of Serving AI: What Business Leaders Should Know About vLLMSpeaker: Tyler Michael Smith (vLLM Core Maintainer, Red Hat)As AI usage grows, serving models becomes a business decision about cost, responsiveness and capacity. This session explains where vLLM fits in the ecosystem around PyTorch and how serving software and hardware choices affect those tradeoffs. Attende
