Abilene, Texas wasn’t known as a technology hub.
Now it’s the first home of Stargate, one of the most ambitious AI infrastructure projects ever built.
Local leaders share what Stargate means for their community, from new investment and infrastructure improvements to the opportunities it could create for generations to come.
This is the story of how a West Texas town became an early part of the future of AI.

How H2O.ai delivers audit-ready AI with centralized logging, automated model documentation, and traceable agent execution.
When regulators ask questions, teams need a complete, reproducible paper trail. H2O.ai builds auditability directly into the DSML lifecycle—centralized audit logs capture every user action, deployment event, and configuration change with precise timestamps and actor context. AutoDoc eliminates manual reporting by generating comprehensive model documentation automatically. For generative AI, every agent execution step is fully traceable, exposing tool calls, data access, and reasoning steps to explain exactly how a recommendation was reached.
Technical Capabilities & Resources
➤ Centralized Audit Logging: Complete history of user actions, administrative changes, and operational events with timestamps and actor context.

Reproducible builds in Nix depend on reliable input pinning—but existing solutions like niv, npins, and Flakes come with limitations. This talk introduces **Nixtamal**, a flexible, manifest-based approach designed to simplify and improve dependency pinning in Nix workflows.
We’ll compare current pinning methods, explore where tools like Flakes and `inputs.*.follows` fall short, and explain how Nixtamal separates input pinning from project composition for cleaner and more maintainable setups.
Learn how declarative manifests, mirrors, patches, and user-defined freshness rules enable more robust dependency management across diverse workflows and version control systems. Perfect for Nix users and developers looking for reproducible, scalable, and flexible build environments.
