Join Anaconda’s CTO Steve Croce
The open source AI ecosystem has never been bigger — over 2.5 million models and counting. Yet 95% of AI pilots never make it to production. The reason isn’t a lack of good models. It’s poor infrastructure planning, governance gaps, and avoidable mistakes that derail projects before they ever ship.
What You'll Learn
- The most common “unforced errors” that kill AI pilots — and how to avoid them
- A 4-step framework for building AI infrastructure that actually ships to production
- How to balance developer velocity with enterprise security requirements
- Why measurement and testing matter more than model selection for long-term success
