An open-source AI community event on reinforcement learning for agentic systems, hosted by GitHub & Hugging Face.

Join the open-source community at GitHub in San Francisco for an evening with researchers & builders exploring how AI agents are trained & evaluated.

We will look beyond single-turn RL to multi-step, environment-driven training: reward design, rollouts, benchmarks, & the practical gap between training gains & real-world agent behavior.

What to expect Short, 10-minute talks with Q&A, followed by a closing panel on what works in RL for agents, where the bottlenecks are, & what the open-source ecosystem needs next.

Speakers:
- Ben Burtenshaw (HF)
- Govind Kamtamneni (Microsoft)
- Victor Barres (Mercor)
- Zach Wentz (Reflection)
- Tao Lin (RadixArk)
- Xiangyi Li (Benchflow)

Who should attend
ML practitioners, agent builders, & RL researchers.
