Open-Source Evening with MiniMax, Moonshot, Baseten, Modal & Factory
This event is over, it happened on
August 6, 2026 at 475 Brannan Street in San Francisco, CA
This time, we're opening the doors of the Factory office to talk about the open-source wave: MiniMax, Baseten, Moonshot, and friends, and what it takes to build on models you can actually own.
You are welcome to join us at the Factory office, and learn more and discuss the state of open-source models, running and fine-tuning open weights in production, model sovereignty, and more!
Expect food, drinks, lightning talks, and great company. The event is for approved-only attendees, and we will make sure you really do create meaningful connections beyond networking.
See you at Factory HQ!
P.S. If you're lucky, you might get an exclusive copy of Philip Kiely's Inference Engineering book!
