State of AI Infrastructure: What's Powering AI Today | IREN, Mirantis & NVIDIA | RAISE Summit 2026
Kent Draper, Alex Freedland, Dion Harris, Henri Delahaye
Industry leaders from Iron, NVIDIA, and Mirantis convened to address the critical bottleneck of energy and physical infrastructure limiting the global AI race. The panel outlined a strategic shift toward vertical integration and open standards, exemplified by Iron's European expansion for sovereign AI and NVIDIA's launch of an API-centric ecosystem to streamline compute consumption. Success in this sector now hinges on synchronizing rapid software orchestration with the slower deployment of power grids and data centers to bridge the widening supply-demand gap.

Who Controls AI? The Open Source Imperative | Arthur Mensch, Mistral AI | RAISE Summit 2026
Arthur Mensch, Mark Surman, Henri Delahaye
Speakers Arthur and Marc outline a strategic framework for artificial intelligence sovereignty that prioritizes domestic compute security, affordability, and sustainability to mitigate economic inequality and social unrest. They identify open source technology as a critical mechanism for nations to retain control over essential infrastructure, preventing foreign dependency while fostering a global ecosystem where open components serve as the dominant building blocks within the next decade. Although this shift from proprietary chatbots to shared infrastructure is widely anticipated, the speakers warn that realizing this future requires sustained research funding and coordinated interoperability to overcome significant capital and partnership challenges.
AMD, Starcloud, Coatue..10 Hot Takes From The Biggest Names in AI
Max Cook, Matan Grinberg, Pim de Witte, Philip Johnston, Mark Papermaster, Rodrigo Liang, Ramin Hasani, Robin Rombach, Chris Madden, Henri Delahaye, Molly, Philippe, Thomas
At the RAISE Summit, industry leaders like Max Cook and Matan outlined a decisive shift toward agentic AI ecosystems that replace traditional interfaces with natural language and naturalize the routing between frontier and open-source models based on latency and cost. Concurrently, hardware giants such as SambaNova and StarCloud announced billion-dollar investments and space-based compute strategies to overcome power constraints and enable efficient inference on edge devices. This convergence of sovereign AI initiatives, supply chain scaling, and automated software engineering marks a global transition where enterprises treat AI as a deployed product rather than a research tool.

Crusoe's Energy-First Vision for the AI Cloud | Chase Lochmiller | RAISE Summit 2026
Chase Lochmiller, Henri Delahaye, Francesc Campoy, DAN GALPIN, FRANCOIS BEAUFORT
Crusoe is establishing itself as a vertically integrated AI infrastructure leader by relocating compute from traditional hubs to stranded energy sources, having secured over 40 GW in its development pipeline with rapid construction cycles like the 11-month Abilene project. The company recently acquired Atero to deploy its "Crusoe Memory Alloy" for optimized inference, simultaneously shifting its product strategy toward distributed "AI factories" that monetize hardware investments through cost-effective token generation rather than large-scale training. As the industry transitions from theoretical announcements to execution over the next 24 months, Crusoe prioritizes operational resilience and end-user value delivery to dominate the emerging market for decentralized, energy-driven AI services.

OpenAI x Cerebras: Sachin Katti & Andrew Feldman in Conversation | RAISE Summit 2026
Sachin Katti, Andrew Feldman, Henri Delahaye
In December 2024, OpenAI and Cerebras finalized a historic $20 billion partnership to deploy GPT-5.6 on Cerebras infrastructure, enabling a record-breaking inference speed of 750 tokens per second while expanding data center capacity across Europe to address sovereign AI demands. This collaboration has accelerated OpenAI's internal operations, establishing Codex as the default interface for all employees and driving a monthly release cadence of frontier models through AI-assisted research workflows. Looking forward, the alliance prioritizes enterprise adoption over token volume, anticipating that the rapid integration of AI agents will fundamentally rewire organizational structures and redefine productivity metrics within the next year.

Eric Schmidt: AI and the Genesis of a New Epoch
Dr. Eric Schmidt characterizes the current technological landscape as a new epoch driven by the imminent arrival of reasoning-based AI, predicting that Artificial General Intelligence and superintelligence will emerge within four to six years. The discussion highlights a geopolitical divergence where the United States pursues capital-intensive closed-source models while China leverages open-weight systems, creating a strategic risk where global usage may outpace Western control. Schmidt concludes that massive infrastructure investment in compute capacity will outlast concerns of a market bubble, as autonomous systems will drive unprecedented growth in mathematics and software development independent of human data constraints.
