Collaborative Superintelligence

September 30, 2026

San Francisco · The Pearl

The next frontier is collaborative.

Flower AI Day returns as AI enters a new phase. The frontier is moving beyond isolated, closed models toward open agents and models that work together, combine their capabilities, and improve collectively.

Agent teams & open models

Multi-agent systems for long-horizon work and post-trained open models to push beyond the closed frontier.

Distributed training & inference

AI grids, hybrid inference and decentralized training that connect compute and data across multiple sites.

Private & sovereign AI

Local models, federated learning, and confidential computing for sensitive data and regulated enterprise workflows.

Meet the speakers

Researchers, founders, and industry leaders advancing open models, collaborative agents, and real-world AI.
