From Weights to Frames

This is an official side event of RAISE Summit 2026 on the summit's closing night.
AIC (aicapital.ai) is bringing three of its portfolio companies - Higgsfield, Modular and Hiverge - for an evening that runs from the infrastructure powering the AI frontier to the films it's already making.
