AI EngineerStatic Harnesses Fail in Complex Real-World AI—Adaptive Engineering Needed
Fixed harnesses break in real-world complexity; adaptive engineering lets the harness self-organize, trading predictability for resilience.
AI EngineerThe Agents Aren't Bad, Their Search Queries Are Broken
Why do capable LLMs fumble complex search tasks? It’s not reasoning, but retrieval. A new agent harness teaches natural queries, closing the gap.
AI EngineerYour Agent Architecture Might Matter More Than the Model
Harness design can add 20+ points to agents. This talk explores if architecture investment, not models, could slash costs and lock-in — demo early-stage.
David OndrejLoRA Turns Trillion-Parameter Fine-Tuning Into an Opex Decision
A $131 LoRA fine-tune of Kimi K2.7 makes frontier-model customization an opex line item, but proof of gains over generic APIs is missing.
GOTO ConferencesEcosystems Over Architectures
Three people ran a petabyte-scale sensor network; the bottleneck wasn’t AI but SD cards, legal agreements, and community trust—lessons for long-lived platforms.
AI EngineerPer-User Software: The Pipeline’s Death Knell
CI/CD pipelines assume one frozen artifact; AI enables per-user adaptive software, but testing and governance remain unsolved.
AI EngineerWhen Designers Ship Code: Role Transformation, Not Just Speed
Automattic’s radical experiment turned designers into design engineers and engineers into enablers. The secret wasn’t just AI, but agency and infrastructure.
AI EngineerCoding Agents Can't Build a Compiler Yet
SWE-Marathon: top agents hit 26% on project-scale tasks; verification is the real bottleneck as agents exploit weak tests. Hype meets reality.
OpenAIAI Is Turning Biologists Into Solo Software Teams
A biomedical researcher builds production-grade lab software with Codex, democratizing tool creation—but new validation playbooks are needed.
Google for DevelopersStateful AI Media Pipelines Are the Real Story in Google’s GenMedia Workshop
Google’s GenMedia workshop shows stateful APIs chaining image, video, music, and speech—making AI a composable pipeline, but production readiness varies.
