Tackle AI challenges and find out why leading organizations of all sizes and industries use the Weights & Biases AI developer platform to build AI models and develop AI applications with confidence.

For modern quant firms, model and compute speed have become a new form of alpha. Whether developing AI models that trade in real time or power financial products and services, having the right AI tool stack is essential. In this webinar, you’ll learn how AI tools from Weights & Biases compress the entire quantitative research loop, from hypothesis to production, so quant firms can discover strategies sooner and deploy models with confidence. You’ll come away understanding how to use a modern AI tech stack that delivers tighter governance and greater confidence.

AI agents are hard to deploy, and their actions are often opaque. In this joint AWS and Weights & Biases session, we’ll demonstrate how to use Amazon Bedrock AgentCore to easily deploy agent prototypes to production in a scalable and safe manner. We’ll also show you how to use it with  W&B Weave to unify real-time tracing and performance views across development and production, providing you with clear visibility into agent behavior and decision-making from a single view. Finally, we’ll close the loop: turn production traces filtered by user/expert feedback into evaluation datasets, use Weave evals to measure what matters, and promote improved versions with governance and lineage.

Reinforcement learning (RL) is one of the most effective ways to fine-tune an AI agent for reliability, speed, and cost-effectiveness. Until now, getting started meant spending hours or days evaluating GPU providers and wiring up scripts and infrastructure. With our launch of the industry’s first Serverless RL, that’s changed. In this webinar, we’ll introduce the new capabilities and show you how to get your RL training job running in minutes without thinking about GPUs.

Weights & Biases and CoreWeave: Fully Connected 2025 State of the AI Industry Keynote

Over the past two years, the AI landscape has undergone a remarkable transformation. Large Language Models (LLMs) have moved to the forefront, powering applications like ChatGPT and driving an open revolution of models spearheaded by Llama. Now, we’re witnessing agentic systems entering the mainstream. 

Despite these advances, significant challenges persist as we transition into a generative AI and agent-first world. These challenging questions require a collective community working towards common goals to address them effectively.  

PyTorch has become that central place bringing together diverse perspectives with a community collectively building a comprehensive framework that integrates all layers of AI development. Joe Spisak, a long-time leader of PyTorch and Llama open source, talks about the next phase of PyTorch, the growing ecosystem around Foundation 2.0 and how PyTorch continues to evolve as the open language of AI.
