SUMMARY:New Race for Agentic Web by TiE Silicon Valley
DESCRIPTION:The Agentic Web: Will the next platform war lead to Oligopolies or Fragmentation \nWalmart’s integration of its 240 million e-commerce shoppers with OpenAI’s 700 million weekly active users should be your wakeup call. It’s a preview of how the Agentic Web will either unlock unprecedented value or fracture into incompatible fiefdoms. \nWhen every major retailer\, financial institution\, and B2C company ties itself to a handful of ‘agent stores’\, we don’t get an Internet of Agents—we get a Balkanized landscape of unintentional walled gardens where your agent can’t talk to mine\, innovation stalls\, and trillions in potential value evaporate. \nThe next platform war is here. The Internet of AI Agents risks splintering into proprietary silos\, leading to either incumbent oligopolies extracting monopoly rents or fragmentation that prevents valuable services from emerging. Immediate coordination on interoperability standards—for agent identity\, discovery\, and marketplace infrastructure—is crucial. Early movers who establish these rails will control future AI transactions; those who wait will be building on others’ platforms or become irrelevant. \nProject NANDA (Networked AI Agents in Decentralized Architecture) which originated at MIT provides the three-phase technical roadmap to capture this opportunity: Agent Foundations\, Agent Economy and Agent Societies. Project Nanda aims to dismantle the four critical choke points within this ecosystem’s infrastructure by focusing on consensus driven innovation: ‘DNS’\, ‘CA’\, ‘Orchestration’\, and ‘Attestation’. \nProject NANDA employs a three-pronged approach: (i) Technology: Building technology\, standards\, and reference implementations through a collective of top minds. (ii) Social Mission: Working to maintain an open Agentic Web for innovators while ensuring safety for vulnerable populations. (iii) Venture Ecosystem: Fostering a wide coalition of founders and investors to facilitate information sharing. \nNANDA’s development draws on proven MIT research in AutoML\, split learning\, privacy-preserving architectures\, and decentralized coordination. Early partners in the coalition gain preferential access to emerging standards\, reference implementations\, and the academic-industry consortium that will influence the emerging frameworks globally. \nJoin us in-person for an intimate discussion on the future of the agentic web and the opportunities for tech leaders. \nFollow https://ProjectNanda.org and create your own agent at https://join39.org \nBio \nRamesh Raskar is an Associate Professor at MIT\, leading pioneering research at the intersection of distributed AI agent architectures\, health technology\, and computational imaging. As a founding architect of NANDA\, he focuses on agentic web infrastructure that empowers decentralized decision-making in complex systems. He received the National Academy of Inventors award (2024)\, Lemelson Award (2016) and ACM SIGGRAPH Achievement Award (2017). He has worked on special research projects at Google [X]\, Apple and Facebook and co-founded/advised several companies. He holds 100+ US patents.

SUMMARY:PA Tech Talks
DESCRIPTION:Animikh Roy\, the founder of Wishtales AI\, will give a presentation on a radically new approach to multimodal content generation. \nThis Generative Synchronous Diffusion (GSD) approach solves the fundamental economic and computational bottleneck of current AI. \nWhile standard models (like Sora) are built on cross-attention\, which scales at an unviable O(N⁵)\, Animikh’s proprietary GSD architecture—based on his foundational paper on R-K Diagrams (Harvard Research)—scales at O(5 log N). \nThis isn’t just a theoretical breakthrough. It actually gives Wishtales AI a 67X inference advantage and a 10-20X model training cost advantage\, enabling the world’s first “One-Shot” multimodal platform. Their tool lets creators start with any input (a scribble\, a voice note\, a photo) and generate complete\, production-ready videos (with integrated voice\, BGM\, and SFX) in minutes.
