As agents move from generating answers to running continuous loops, the bottleneck shifts from GPU power to the CPU and networking layer keeping those GPUs fed.
For AI research infrastructure, ML platform, engineering and technology leaders.
Accelerators are rarely the thing that is slow. They are the thing that is idle, waiting on a data path, a scheduler, or a virtualisation layer that was never meant to carry this shape of workload.
That is the starting point for this series. Not a product session, and not a briefing. A table of senior people working through where their own utilisation actually goes, how much of it is lost to overhead they did not choose, and what bare metal changes.
Six cities across APAC, between October and November 2026. Each table runs under the Chatham House Rule.
Lambda announcements at NVIDIA GTC 2026 and industry analysis cited across 2026 coverage. The market figure is third party and should be verified or removed before go live.
Each table works through the same three questions, shaped by what the room brings to them.
The first question is instrumentation: how much of each organisation’s accelerator time is productive, how much is overhead, and whether anyone has the visibility to answer honestly.
// tension: idle accelerators are the most expensive thing you ownThis session looks at the trade between the convenience of managed abstraction and the throughput of direct hardware access, and where each organisation has landed.
// differentiator: bare metal access without virtualisation overheadReinforcement style workloads with tool use and code execution stress different parts of the system than pure training. The table works through what that has broken in their environment.
// context: agentic reinforcement workloads on frontier clustersEach city is its own table with its own room, confirmed independently. Registration of interest is open now, with dates and venues confirmed city by city.
Lambda’s mission is to expand humanity’s energy and computational capacity.

Lambda started by building workstations for machine learning researchers, which is an unusual origin for a cloud provider and explains its bias toward direct hardware access over managed abstraction.
The company provides GPU cloud compute and bare metal instances used by AI research teams, and now positions itself as the Superintelligence Cloud.

Innovatus Media is a Sydney based B2B events agency that runs invitation-only executive roundtable series across APAC, EMEA and North America.
We convene senior decision makers for closed door conversations on the problems they are actually working on, and produce every element of the series end to end, from the room and the table to the follow up.
