Keynote Composable Parts of the AI Lakehouse Pedro Pedreira, Meta

As AI becomes data’s biggest customer, the components of the Lakehouse must evolve. This talk explores how Lakehouse workloads evolved to power AI, from batch ETL and interactive analytics, to training data preparation, AI agentic workload, and feeding data-hungry GPU trainers at scale. The talk presents how Velox is enabling this new era, and discusses new open source projects that are also becoming foundational parts of the AI Lakehouse, including Nimble, A11, Axiom, and Collagen.
