AI Researchers Meet Agent Builders: Model Boundary & Next Gen AI Products

​“When building AI products, work at the edge of model capabilities and be willing to break things.” - Mike Krieger, Anthropic’s CPO

​That's why we are hosting an invite-only afternoon gathering to bridge the insights from foundation model researchers and agent builders to trade notes on where research meets product—and what it takes to ship agents that keep pace with rapidly evolving models.

​We’ll dig into:

• ​Product patterns for agentic UX (planning, tool use, memory, autonomy)

• ​What’s missing in agent infra (evals, observability, safety/guardrails, data flywheels)

• ​Lessons from real deployments: reliability, trust, and the metrics that matter

​Who’s in the room:

• ​Researchers pushing agent/tool-use/world-modeling

• ​Builders shipping agents or the infra that powers them

​Format & vibe:

• ​Quick intros → open roundtable → social

• ​No slides, no press; Chatham House Rule

• ​12–15 people, invite-only. Address shared upon confirmation.

​Hosted in San Francisco this Saturday afternoon, co-hosted with Foundation Capital.
