Hammerhead's Sadia Raveendran to Speak at AI Infra Summit on Unlocking Stranded Power for AI Compute
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – August 11, 2026 – Hammerhead AI (HammerheadAI, Inc.) today announced that Sadia Raveendran, Founding Head of GTM, will speak at the AI Infra Summit, taking place September 15–17 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Raveendran's session, "The Fastest MW Is Already Built," is scheduled for September 15 and will address one of the industry's most pressing bottlenecks: finding power for AI inference at the pace demand requires, even as new grid capacity slows.
As moratoriums on new data center construction spread state by state, AI infrastructure providers are increasingly asking the same question: where is the power to meet demand that isn't slowing down? Raveendran's talk will make the case that the fastest megawatt available today is one that's already built. Most data centers currently operate at just 30–50% utilization, sitting inside grid allocations that have already been approved. This leaves significant megawatts stranded that are ready to be extracted with the right solution.
"Inference demand, or the demand to actually use AI, isn't slowing down for new power," said Sadia Raveendran, Founding Head of GTM at Hammerhead. "We're going after the power that already exists. It's sitting inside approved allocations right now, underused. Hammerhead helps operators and inference providers unlock that capacity today so inference providers can meet the growing demands of their customers."
Hammerhead's participation at AI Infra Summit builds on its Orchestrated RL Control Agents (ORCA) platform that is accelerating deployment for inference providers while making most of the infrastructure that is already built.
AI Infra Summit is one of the industry's most anticipated events of the year, bringing together infrastructure operators, inference providers, and energy leaders to address the compute and power constraints shaping the next phase of AI deployment.
