Mastering AI Pricing: Flexible & Agile Monetization — Mayank Pant, Stripe

Monetizing AI is hard. Rising GPU and inference costs are squeezing margins, and traditional SaaS pricing simply does not work for the unpredictable compute demands of new-age AI companies. With models constantly shifting across credits, tokens, and seats, a new challenge emerges: how do we charge for AI without stalli

Agents on the Canvas in tldraw — Steve Ruiz, tldraw

At tldraw, we've been bringing agents to our infinite canvas. In December 2025, we ran a one-month experiment named Fairydraw where users could work with three fairies—virtual collaborators who work with you, with your human collaborators, and coordinate together on large tasks. Learn what we learned. Speaker info: - h

Everything I Learned Training Frontier Small Models — Maxime Labonne, Liquid AI

A new class of small models is emerging with the ability to reliably follow instructions and call tools while running on-device under 1 GB of memory. In this talk, we'll break down how to post-train frontier small models using the LFM2.5 recipe: on-policy preference alignment, agentic reinforcement learning, and curric

Codex and Subagents — Vaibhav Srivastav & Katia Gil Guzman, OpenAI

Codex is no longer just a coding assistant in a terminal. In this workshop, Vaibhav and Katia show how it becomes a full software engineering system, combining frontier models, the Codex app and CLI, plugins, automations, and subagents that can explore, review, and execute work in parallel. The session also dives into

Building your own software factory — Eric Zakariasson, Cursor

Most of us are pair-programming with one agent and stopping there. There's a lot more on the table. This workshop is about going from one agent to many. We'll start with codebase setup, the foundational work that makes agents effective on their own. Then we'll scale up to running agents in parallel, kicking off async w

Why building eval platforms is hard — Phil Hetzel, Braintrust

An eval platform is not just a test runner. You are building shared definitions of "good," reliable data pipelines, labelling workflows, versioning, and trust in results across many teams and model changes. This session breaks down the hidden complexity, the common failure modes, and the design principles that make eva

One Login to Rule Them All: Cross-App Access for MCP — Garrett Galow, WorkOS

Connecting a coding agent to multiple services often means facing a dozen OAuth consent screens, a dozen token lifecycles, and a dozen chances for something to break. Despite having Single Sign-On, users still find themselves signing in repeatedly. This talk explores how Cross-App Access leverages a three-way trust bet

Bringing MCPs to the Enterprise — Karan Sampath, Anthropic

MCPs are often flaky, face multiple security vulnerabilities, and are generally hard to scale. Most enterprises struggle to use more than single digit numbers of MCPs due to issues with security, observability, and access control. In this talk, we'll explore the approaches and learnings we at Anthropic have been taking

Collaborative AI Engineering — Maggie Appleton, GitHub Next

Agentic engineering so far has been a solo story: one developer and a dozen agents moving at warp speed. But speed without thoughtful planning and team alignment is just wasting tokens. When everyone on a team is directing agents alone in their personal CLI tools with no shared context, you get duplicate work, conflict
