# PrimaLabs: The Application-Specific AI Inference Stack


- **Date:** Thursday, Sep 24, 2026
- **Time:** 12:20–12:25 (5 min)
- **Room:** Outdoor Stage
- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

AI applications place very different demands on inference. Coding agents reuse long context, vision-language systems process variable multimodal inputs, and generative recommendation models operate under strict latency requirements. A generic inference stack cannot maximize performance across all three. PrimaLabs delivers an application-specific inference stack engineered around each production workload. The platform jointly optimizes runtimes, kernels, caching, batching, scheduling, parallelism, and GPU infrastructure, then operates the resulting stack in an isolated environment.
