​Monthly event in San Francisco focused on exploring the latest in AI Engineering and innovation!

​Agenda

​​​​​🕒 5:30 pm – 5:35 pm
Welcome and Opening Remarks

​🎤 Niko Balic, Head of Growth at Daytona

​​​​​​🕒 5:35 pm - 6:00 pm
Keynote "Building Runtime Infrastructure for Truly Capable AI Agents"

​​🎤 Niko Balic, Head of Growth at Daytona

​​​Outline:

​Current AI coding agents are hampered by inadequate infrastructure that prevents them from seeing execution results or runtime context. Purpose-built infrastructure with dynamic lifecycle management solves this by providing secure sandboxed environments where agents can execute, evaluate, and iterate on code in real-time. Drawing from practical examples and live demonstrations, we will explore how the evolution of agent definitions now explicitly includes runtime environments as a core component, and how this shift is transforming what AI agents can accomplish.

​​🕒 6:00 pm - 6:20 pm
Q&A "The Hidden Challenges of AI Success: Navigating Growth, Costs, and Sustainability in Production AI"

​​🎤 Anh-Tho Chuong, CEO at Lago

​​​Outline:

​Discover practical approaches to AI monetization beyond traditional subscriptions, strategies to prevent power users from consuming unsustainable resources, and frameworks for selecting cost-effective models. The session addresses which systems typically break during viral growth and presents new success metrics for usage-based AI businesses where both revenues and costs fluctuate dramatically.

​​🕒 6:20 pm - 6:40 pm
Keynote "Reliable AI Benchmarking in the Era of Model and Agent Proliferation"

​​🎤 Georgia Lin, Co-founder at BenchFlow

​​​Outline:

​As the model and agent space gets more crowded and heated, how to reliably and easily test them has become more important. In today's talk, Xiangyi will address recent news in models and benchmarking, like the doubt around Llama 4's benchmark score and new agentic ways to test models like the PokemonBench.

​​​​​🕒 6:40 pm – 7:00 pm
Keynote "MCP.run: putting it all together"

​​🎤 Steve Manuel, Co-Founder & CEO at mcp.run

​​​Outline:

​The power of MCP servers orchestrated by Tasks serverless prompts brings MCP beyond the vibe coder.

​​​​​​​🕒 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

​​Networking

​With snacks and beverages
