AGI: The Path Forward – Jason Warner & Eiso Kant, Poolside

In a live demo, Poolside's CEOs showcase their second-generation model, the Malibu agent, by migrating a complex codebase from ADA to Rust, including automated testing and iterative feature development. They outline their vision for achieving AGI through a full-stack approach combining proprietary models, reinforcement learning, and massive-scale compute, with plans for a public model release in early 2025.

AI Code Generation: Wins, Fails and the Future

AI Code Generation: Wins, Fails and the Future

A panel of experts discusses the future of AI in software engineering, focusing on the "barbell effect" where AI excels at hyper-complex tasks but fails at simple ones. The conversation explores whether performance is driven by the model or the agent orchestration, the evolving role of the engineer as an architect, and the significant challenges open-source tools face against vertically integrated proprietary systems, particularly the high cost of inference.
