Free online conference on Oct 22 with a few talks on small models, local inference and speed

Hey all,

I'm helping organize All Day AI, a free online conference on Thursday the 22nd.

I'd like to mention a couple of our speakers who have volunteered to talk that day:

Vivienne Hnin (Utilyst): "Small Models, Big Profit Margins: The Economics and Engineering Tradeoffs of SLMs." That's the debate this sub has every day: when a small model is actually good enough.

Hossein Kazemi (Astorna): "Using Task-Specific Small Language Models to Handle Sensitive Data". Keeping sensitive data local is half the reason people run models themselves.

Hitesh Jain (Coral Bricks AI): "Coding at 250 tokens." Inference speed is what this crowd benchmarks obsessively.

The rest of the schedule goes up soon, across four tracks: Build, Lead, Secure and Ship.

The talks are community-submitted.
