KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 Keynote Session: From Inference to Agents: Where Open Source AI Is Headed
As AI systems move from training to real-world deployment, two forces are rapidly reshaping the landscape: the explosive growth of AI inference and the emergence of agentic AI. In this fireside chat, we’ll explore how the rapidly expanding inference market is driving new infrastructure needs, why the broader AI ecosystem will likely span multiple open source foundations rather than consolidating in one place, and the rise of agentic systems and what their autonomy, orchestration, and runtime requirements mean for the next generation of open source collaboration.
Tuesday March 24, 2026 09:56 – 10:01 CET
Speakers

Brian Stevens, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for AI, Red Hat
Lin Sun, Head of Open-Source, solo.io
Jonathan Bryce, Executive Director, Cloud and Infrastructure, The Linux Foundation
Mark Collier, Executive Director, PyTorch Foundation, General Manager, AI & Infrastructure, The Linux Foundation

PyTorch Docathon 2026
2026-05-05 - 2026-05-19
PyTorch Docathon 2026 (May 5–19), a community-powered, hackathon-style sprint focused on making PyTorch documentation clearer, more accurate, and easier to use. Great docs are a force multiplier: they help new users ramp faster, help experienced practitioners apply advanced features correctly, and shorten the path from research to production in machine learning.
RSVP now.
As AI development accelerates, documentation matters even more. LLMs and AI agents increasingly rely on public technical documentation to learn APIs, generate code, and troubleshoot workflows. High-quality PyTorch docs don’t just help humans, they help ensure AI-generated guidance is more accurate, up-to-date, and aligned with best practice.
WHY PARTICIPATE
The Docathon is an inclusive event designed to be accessible to all levels of expertise from newcomers to experienced ML/PyTorch users. It offers a rewarding experience as participants can see the direct impact of their contributions on the project’s usability and accessibility. The Docathon promotes a collaborative environment, allowing participants to work with other contributors and PyTorch maintainers, fostering the exchange of ideas and networking. It also provides a rich learning experience, offering the opportunity to explore PyTorch modules, update docstrings, and test tutorials.
EVENT DETAILS

May 5: Kick-off 10 AM PT
May 6 – May 15: Submissions and Feedback
