Sponsored by: Fireworks AI | Own Your AI: Beat Frontier Models With Your Own Data — Presented by Fireworks AI

The best AI companies aren't renting intelligence from closed model APIs — they're building their own. In this session, Roberto from Fireworks AI busts three common myths about training open models: that closed models are always better, that training is hard and that you need massive labeled datasets. Drawing on real production examples from real-world examples from clients, he'll show how supervised training, direct preference optimization and reinforcement training turn your production data into a compounding moat — and why the best model for your product is the one you own.
