Localized Open Models in Production: What Builders Need to Know

July 10, 2026 13:00 – 13:30 Β· 30 min Mainstage

What this session covers

Europe’s AI debate is often framed as a policy question. For builders, it is a systems question: what does a localized open model stack actually look like in production? Where should they run? This main-stage panel brings together model builders and experts from NVIDIA, H-Company, Black Forest Labs, and n8n with to compare the technology choices behind real AI deployment. Attendees will leave with a technical map for building, running, and controlling AI systems.
