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.
