The era of AI-driven software development is here, are your teams ready?
Join us for an evening exploring how open models & autonomous AI agents are rewriting the economics of software engineering. As models like Kimi, GLM, & MiniMax approach parity with closed alternatives like Claude Code & Codex, at a fraction of the cost, engineering leaders face a new question: do you need a closed model to run production-grade coding agents?
Co-hosted by OpenHands, Ollama, & FriendliAI, this session brings together leading voices at the intersection of open models, coding agent infrastructure, & agentic engineering:
Saurya Velagapudi, Principal Engineer at OpenHands
Brian Yoo, Chief Business Officer at FriendliAI
Jeffrey Morgan, CEO at Ollama
Kyle Kranen, Senior Manager, Dynamo at Nvidia
Together, we'll dive into what it takes to run autonomous agents in production. We'll cover the cost & latency tradeoffs of open vs. closed models, the build-vs-buy calculus behind owning your SDLC instead of outsourcing it to a black box, & how engineering organizations are rethinking their stack - & their headcount, budget, & vendor strategy - as agents move off of laptops & into production.
This is a strategy-level conversation for the people setting the roadmap, not just coding to it. Expect lively discussion, practical insights, & plenty of networking with other CTOs, VPs of Engineering, & AI/ML leaders responsible for their org's AI adoption & governance.
