Self-Driving Production: AI Wrote Your Code. AI Should Fix It, Too. | Traversal | RAISE Summit 2026
Founded by an MIT PhD and Columbia professor, Traversal deploys an AI-driven site reliability engineer that distinguishes itself from traditional correlation-based tools by utilizing a proprietary causal search engine to identify root causes across petabytes of daily telemetry. This platform delivers L5 autonomy in production environments, evidenced by enterprise deployments at American Express that reduced incident resolution times by 58% and Pepsi initiatives that preemptively halted customer-facing outages through historical alert analysis. By integrating a unique production world model, the system autonomously executes complex remediation steps such as traffic failover and code generation, effectively transforming maintenance workflows from reactive war rooms to proactive self-healing operations.

Fireside Chat with Anastasis Germanidis, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Runway | RAISE Summit 2026
Anastasis Germanidis, Grace Isford
Founded in 2019, Runway is pivoting from generative video leadership to creating "world models" that simulate physical physics and 3D consistency through pixel prediction rather than explicit architectural rules. This technical approach enables efficient real-time inference for robotics and gaming, allowing the company to license policy models to clients while achieving superior performance with significantly less compute than larger competitors. Driven by founder Anastasis's philosophy of intentional growth, the firm recently expanded its global headcount to nearly 200 and opened a Paris office to deepen its research focus on physical AI and interactive storytelling.
