From Models to Meaning: Demonstrating AI Value in Production with Open Source Tooling

As AI teams move into 2026, success is increasingly defined by automation, abstraction, and visibility—not just better models.  

In this session of MLOps Live, Joseph Perkins, Product Manager at Vizro by Quantum Black, and Gilad Shaham, Director of Product Management, Iguazio (A McKinsey Company) will discuss how modern AI teams are moving beyond heavy engineering to deliver production-ready, business-visible AI systems using open-source frameworks like MLRun and Vizro. 

In this session, you’ll learn how: 

  • Teams are operationalizing agentic AI systems without adding engineering overhead 
  • LLM-powered, Python-based dashboards provide real-time insight for business stakeholders 
  • AI applications can be automatically managed across the full lifecycle, with built-in data visibility 
  • Open-source tooling is driving faster time-to-value and measurable business impact 


The session includes a live demo of a
gen AI application, showing how MLRun and Vizro work together to deliver both operational control and business visibility in production.
