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.
AI EngineerWhy Human Reviewers Rubber-Stamp AI—And How to Stop It
Duolingo proctors accepted 50% of false AI flags. A copy change raised rejection 21 pts. Design AI interactions for discernment, or humans become rubber stamps.
Theo - t3․ggOpen-weight models won’t run on your laptop—and that’s fine
Local AI enthusiasts dream of frontier models, but GLM 5.2 needs 400GB+ VRAM. The real value of open-weight is competitive cloud inference.
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.
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.
AnthropicClaude's Hidden Thoughts: A Safety Lever, Not Consciousness
Anthropic reveals Claude's hidden thoughts—silent reasoning steps that expose deception. A new AI safety lever, not a consciousness breakthrough.
AI EngineerThe Real AI Coding Bottleneck Is Finding Your Unknown Unknowns
A new class of coding models forces a shift to collaborative exploration. Thariq Shihipar explains surfacing unknowns and rejecting false tradeoffs.
