A deep dive into practical strategies for improving AI reasoning in code and structured tasks. The talk covers capturing richer user intent through examples, enabling collaborative interaction, and using automated inspection for iterative refinement, illustrated with real-world applications from Microsoft.
An in-depth guide to DSPy, a framework for programming with language models, not just prompting them. Learn its core concepts—Signatures, Modules, Adapters, and Optimizers—and see real-world examples of building robust, testable, and transferable AI applications for the enterprise.
This talk provides a practical framework for product managers to move beyond simple "vibe checks" to implement rigorous, data-driven evaluation for LLM-powered products. Using a live demo of a multi-agent AI trip planner, the speaker breaks down essential methodologies, including human feedback, code-based checks, and LLM-as-a-judge systems, and demonstrates how to iterate on both prompts and the evals themselves to ensure consistent quality and build user trust.
An unofficial deep dive into the architecture of modern coding agents like Claude Code. Jared Zoneraich of PromptLayer explains the shift towards simpler, model-centric designs, detailing the core components like the master loop, tool calling (especially `bash`), and context management strategies. The talk also contrasts Claude's philosophy with other agents like Codex, AMP, and Cursor, offering practical takeaways for building your own AI agents.
OpenAI's Christina Kim (Research) and Laurentia Romaniuk (Product) discuss the development of GPT-5.1, detailing the shift to universal "reasoning models" to enhance both IQ and EQ. They explore the nuances of "model personality," the technical challenges of balancing steerability with safety, and how features like Memory create a more personalized, context-aware user experience.
Emmanuel Ameisen of Anthropic's interpretability team explains the inner workings of LLMs, drawing analogies to biology. He covers surprising findings on how models plan, represent concepts across languages, and the mechanistic causes of hallucinations, offering practical advice for developers on evaluation and post-training strategies.
