About this session
Model Routing explores how teams decide when to use local models, open-source models, or frontier cloud systems, and why the answer is increasingly hybrid rather than one-size-fits-all. The panel digs into routing architectures, model selection strategies, stack decisions, and what still needs to improve in local AI before more workloads can move closer to the user.
Moderator: Nader Khalil (NVIDIA). Panelists: Walden Yan (Cognition), Tanay Varshney (NVIDIA), Alex Atallah (OpenRouter).
