Scaling experimentation in digital marketplaces is crucial for driving growth and enhancing user experiences. However, varied methodologies and a lack of experiment governance can hinder the impact of experimentation leading to inconsistent decision-making, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities for innovation.
At Poshmark, we developed a homegrown experimentation platform, Lightspeed, that allowed us to make reliable and confident reads on product changes, which led to a 10x growth in experiment velocity and positive business outcomes along the way.
This session will provide a deep dive into the best practices and lessons learned from successful implementations of large-scale experiments. We will explore the importance of experimentation, overcome scalability challenges, and gain insights into the frameworks and technologies that enable effective testing.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and machine learning, Platform and Data Infrastructure Teams face critical challenges in building and managing large-scale AI platforms. Performance bottlenecks, scalability of the platform, and scarcity of GPUs pose significant challenges in supporting large-scale model training and serving.
In this talk, we introduce how Alluxio helps Platform and Data Infrastructure teams deliver faster, more scalable platforms to ML Engineering teams developing and training AI models. Alluxio’s highly-distributed cache accelerates AI workloads by eliminating data loading bottlenecks and maximizing GPU utilization. Customers report up to 4x faster training performance with high-speed access to petabytes of data spread across billions of files regardless of persistent storage type or proximity to GPU clusters. Alluxio’s architecture lowers data infrastructure costs, increases GPU utilization, and enables workload portability for navigating GPU scarcity challenges.
TorchTitan is a proof-of-concept for Large-scale LLM training using native PyTorch. It is a repo that showcases PyTorch's latest distributed training features in a clean, minimal codebase.
In this talk, Tianyu will share TorchTitan’s design and optimizations for the Llama 3.1 family of LLMs, spanning 8 billion to 405 billion parameters, and showcase its performance, composability, and scalability.
