Explore how Temporal, a durable execution framework, brings resilience and scalability to AI agents built with the OpenAI Agents SDK. This summary covers Temporal's core concepts of Workflows and Activities, the official integration that makes OpenAI agents durable, and patterns for orchestrating multiple micro-agents.
A deep dive into the security vulnerabilities of Multi-Context Protocol (MCP) for AI agents. The talk explores how identity loss, "all-or-nothing" permissions, and disappearing audit trails create significant attack surfaces, and presents solutions like identity chain tracking, context-aware permissions, and intelligent auditing to secure agent-to-tool communication.
A detailed overview of a modular, five-agent system designed to combat the entire lifecycle of digital misinformation. Based on an ICWSM research paper, this practitioner's guide details the roles of the Classifier, Indexer, Extractor, Corrector, and Verifier agents. The system emphasizes scalability, explainability, and high precision, moving beyond the limitations of single-LLM solutions. The talk covers the complete blueprint, from agent coordination and MLOps to holistic evaluation and optimization strategies for production environments.
Panos Stravopodis, CTO of Elyos AI, shares the infrastructure and orchestration challenges of building production-ready voice AI agents. He details the four pillars for success—latency, consistency, context, and recovery—and provides engineering patterns for error handling, context management, and achieving conversational coherence in real-time systems.
Robert from OpenAI discusses the critical role of structured evaluations (evals) and graders for developing advanced collaborative agents. He explores the limitations of 'vibe-based' assessments, introduces a maturity model for evals, and presents a comprehensive rubric for measuring agent performance beyond simple accuracy, connecting these concepts to the power of Reinforcement Fine-Tuning (RFT).
Karan Goel, CEO of Cartesia, discusses the fundamental limitations of Transformer architectures, arguing they behave more like retrieval systems than learning systems. He explains how State Space Models (SSMs) enable compression and abstraction, and why Cartesia is tackling multimodal intelligence by first solving for voice AI, aiming to develop a transferable 'recipe' for end-to-end representation learning.
