AI Demo Day: Sydney's Night for Founders Who Own Their Stack
A new generation of AI startups is building on open-weight models like LLaMA, Mistral, Phi, Qwen, DeepSeek, Falcon. Fine-tuning on their own data. Deploying on their own infrastructure. Building moats that no API price hike, no terms-of-service change, and no vendor roadmap can take away.
