Building a Generative Recommender with Chronon

Speaker: Varant Zanoyan

Leveraging modern techniques for recommendations — such as sequence and generative modeling — requires complex infrastructure to generate training data, process high-throughput event streams, and serve low-latency inference at scale. Chronon, an open-source feature platform built by Airbnb and Stripe and adopted by companies like OpenAI, Netflix, Roku, and Uber, simplifies these challenges. In this talk, we’ll show you how to use Chronon to streamline the data and feature engineering behind next-generation recommenders and deploy a robust, production-grade system.
