AI models are getting smarter. But there's still a big gap between performing well on a benchmark & reliably doing real-world work.

Join us for an evening of networking, drinks, & a fireside conversation with Osvald Nitski, Head of Product at Mercor, & Chris Clark, Co-Founder of OpenRouter, about what it takes to close that gap. Together, they'll explore how the way we train, evaluate, & deploy AI is changing - from benchmarks & expert data to reinforcement learning environments, model choice, & agents that can take on increasingly complex work.

We'll dig into the big questions shaping what comes next: How should we measure what models can actually do? How do models learn from real-world environments? And what changes when AI can reliably take on work that once required humans?

Expect a thoughtful discussion, a great crowd, & plenty of time to connect with founders, researchers, engineers, & technical leaders building the next generation of AI products.
