Fully Connected 2026 | Day 1 Full Replay
The keynote detailed the evolution of AI from simple prompt-response models to complex, multi-step agentic systems. CoreWeave introduced CoreWeave Forge, a unified platform designed to manage the entire AI lifecycle—the 'AI Loop' (Run, Observe, Curate, Improve, Evaluate)—allowing engineers to move from initial agent concepts to production-grade systems. Hardware advancements were highlighted, including the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 and the new Vera CPU, designed to handle the unique computational demands of agentic workflows, long context, and high throughput.
Key takeaways
-
The AI Loop: Run, Observe, Curate, Improve, Evaluate
30:59
The core methodology for building reliable AI agents involves a continuous cycle: Run (inference), Observe (monitoring agent behavior), Curate (selecting failure patterns as evidence), Improve (model refinement), and Evaluate (testing changes). This loop is critical for moving AI from the demo stage to production.
