# Sebastian Grüner
Open Source Initiative lead at E.ON explaining how AI reshapes hardware.

## About

Sebastian Grüner leads the Open Source Initiative at E.ON. Before managing corporate open source strategy, he spent over a decade as an IT news editor breaking down software development and the rise of machine learning.

He focuses on the underlying mechanics of emerging tech. His talks explore exactly how artificial intelligence changes hardware constraints, including the ways new model architectures require entirely different floating-point formats just to manage chip space and energy consumption.
