Ray Summit 2026 Training is designed for engineers building real-world AI infrastructure: large-scale data pipelines, distributed foundation model training systems, and high-performance inference platforms. This is not a weekend hackathon workshop or a “deploy your first model” tutorial. These full-day technical enablement sessions focus on the architectures, performance tradeoffs, and operational patterns behind modern production AI systems.

• Morning - Multimodal Data Processing Pipelines for AI Systems - Foundation Model Distributed Training with Ray - Production-ready Distributed Inference with Ray Serve
• Afternoon - Scaling Physical AI & Robotics Systems with Ray - Real-Time Search & Recommendation Systems for AI Commerce - LLM Post-Training and High-Performance Serving
