The Topic
Join the Bay Area Computer Vision Group as we bridge the gap between AI architecture and system engineering. We are featuring two experts exploring the future of hardware-aware software and AI-driven chip design.
Talk 1: Functional Intelligence: Building Scalable AI Systems for the Hardware Era
Speaker: Kannupriya Kalra (Scala Specialist & Co-creator of LLM4S) LinkedIn
As AI models demand specialized hardware, our software paradigms must evolve. Drawing from experience at Sky and the Scala Center, Kannupriya will discuss:
- How functional abstractions simplify AI/hardware orchestration.
- Strategies to make large-scale AI pipelines composable and performance-portable across accelerators.
- Real-world lessons from co-creating LLM4S, a Scala-first AI platform.
Talk 2: AI-Created Silicon: The Next Frontier Beyond GPUs and TPUs
Speaker: Pritish Yuvraj (CTO, Flexify.AI; Ex-Meta LLaMA Team) LinkedIn
What if AI could design the next generation of chips? We explore the "AI Cursor for Chip Design", an intelligent co-designer that understands architecture tradeoffs and fabrication constraints.
- The Tech: How LLMs, circuit simulation, and reinforcement learning converge to automate hardware creativity.
- The Speaker: Pritish co-authored the LLaMA 3 and LLaMA 4 papers and led the LLaMA Multilingual team at Meta.
