🔥 What Really Ignited at ALL IN 2025 Last week in Montreal, ALL IN felt less like a conference and more like a launchpad. Five themes that resonated: 1. Infrastructure as the battleground The TELUS AI factory shifts expectations. Canadian enterprises are now being judged by where models run, not just what they produce. NVIDIA panelists reinforced that national AI cannot simply mean “cloud access,” it must include physical compute, edge, and data nodes. 2. Agents, not just prompts The move from simple generative models to agentic AI was a recurring theme. How do we chain agents, coordinate multi agent workflows, inject business logic, and ensure safety when actions go beyond text? Enterprise adoption is now hinged on that next step. 3. The “AI economy” narrative Speakers talked less about speculative AI and more about AI that pays: supply chains, healthcare, agriculture, financial services, and manufacturing. 4. Ecosystem and partnerships in real time Conversations were less about theory and more about “how do I partner with you tomorrow?” Governments, academia, venture capital, and scale ups were at the same tables. 5. Political theater with real stakes The federal government leaned in with Ministers Joly and Solomon visible throughout. Solomon used his keynote to unveil a 30-day AI Task Force. Many panels asked whether this is real structural change or just more talk from our government. ⸻ 🎯 What This Suggests for You and Me • The bar just got higher for anyone building or adopting AI in Canada. It is not enough to have a model. You will be evaluated by where you run it, how safely, and how you integrate into real business flows. • Agents are the frontier. If your roadmap does not consider orchestration, failure modes, and feedback loops, you will fall behind. • Partnerships will matter more than ever, not just with hyperscalers but with telecoms, data centers, edge providers, and domain experts. • Government promises will only matter if they turn into action. Execution will decide who wins.
