High-Performance Engineering: Forward Deployed at Aston Martin F1

A session on CoreWeave's forward deployed engineering partnership with the Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team, covering why Formula 1 is an unforgiving environment for AI, and three projects: a unified data platform for aerodynamic and telemetry data, Delta to Map, a small transformer model that reduces the gap between wind tunnel predictions and track measurements, and Radio Insights, a fine-tuned speech-to-text and agentic system that makes sense of 40 live radio channels. The discussion extracts lessons applicable to any team moving AI from experiment to production under fixed deadlines.

Realtime Voice Agents with Frontier Intelligence — Bohan Li, EliseAI

Bohan Li of EliseAI unveils a sophisticated architecture for real-time voice agents that merges high intelligence with low latency, akin to a self-driving car's perception, planning, and control systems. Key innovations include a speculative transcriber combining fast streaming with accurate contextual correction, background agents for offloading LLM tool calls and enabling eager generation, and a clever prefix cache for speech synthesis that seamlessly blends pre-cached audio with dynamically generated speech to mask underlying processing delays.

⏭️ Forward Deployed: Voice AI on what works in 2026

This podcast episode delves into the pragmatic realities of building and deploying voice agents in enterprise. Featuring leaders from Decagon, Vapi, Retell, Daily, and Smallest AI, the discussion uncovers why the current state-of-the-art relies on cascaded pipelines (STT -> LLM -> TTS) instead of direct voice-to-voice models. Key challenges explored include managing latency versus intelligence, ensuring system reliability through fallback models, the complexities of turn-taking, and architectural strategies to overcome LLM context limitations and optimize costs. The experts also touch upon the differences between inbound and outbound use cases, multilingual considerations, and the potential future of hybrid voice agent architectures.
