Software engineers have long understood that high-quality code requires comprehensive automated testing. For decades, our industry has relied on deterministic tests with clear pass/fail outcomes to ensure reliability. High-quality software depends on automated testing. That's certainly true at Zed, where we're building a next-generation native IDE in Rust. Zed runs at 120 frames per second, but it would also crash once a second if we didn't maintain and run a comprehensive suite of unit tests on every chang ...

Agents are all the rage in 2025, and every single b2b SaaS startup/incumbent promises AI agents that can "automate work" in some way. But how do you actually build this? The answer is two fold: 1. really really good tools 2. carefully tailored agent reasoning over these tools that range from assistant-to-automation based UXs. The main goal of this talk is to a practical overview of agent architectures that can automate real-world work, with a focus on document-centric tasks. Learn the core building blocks o ...

[Music] Yeah, thank you all for coming. Um, I'm sure you're wondering what this has to do with AI. Uh, but we'll get there.Um, so let me set the stage. Uh, at the turn of the 20th century, physics had a big problem. Um so the problem was that um the current theory said that there would be an infinite amount of energy in the universe which was very strange because uh clearly that is it would violate a lot of physical principles.Um so what did uh what did physicists do about this. Well, this guy called Max Pl ...

In this 2-hour workshop, participants will gain practical hands-on experience building sophisticated AI agents using Amazon's agent technologies. You'll learn to build agents that can navigate the web like humans, perform complex multi-step tasks, and leverage specialized tools through natural language commands. You’ll explore Amazon Nova Act for reliable web navigation, Model Context Protocol (MCP) for connecting agents to external data sources and APIs, and Amazon Bedrock Agents for orchestrating complex ...

[Music] right. Hello everyone. Who's excited to chat about MCP today.Okay, we can we can work on that. We can get it a little bit better by the end of this talk. Uh but I'm Theo.I am a product manager at Anthropic work on MCP. Uh prior to this was also a startup founder uh working in the AI space. Um couple fun facts about me because everyone says make yourself a little bit more personable.Uh is that I like playing poker mostly losing money at poker, not uh making money at poker. Uh and I also really like c ...

Join us to see how VS Code and GitHub Copilot's expanding suite of AI features can match or even surpasses the benefits of other popular AI developer tools. We'll focus on practical scenarios to ensure immediate applicability and work through live demos of Copilot features such as: Code generation using Edits, Planning/problem solving using Chat, Inline terminal command generation, Boilerplate code generation using Agent mode, Improving boilerplate with custom instructions and then refactoring using Agent m ...

As AI reshapes the global balance of power, the infrastructure behind it—chips, data centers, power, and supply chains—has become a new arena for geopolitical competition. This talk explores how nations are racing to secure critical AI hardware, control compute capacity, and assert influence over the technologies and talent that define the future. About Dylan Patel Dylan is the founder, CEO, and Chief Analyst for SemiAnalysis, the preeminent authority on all things AI and semiconductors. Through Dylan’s unw ...

We've all seen website chat bots which can look up an order or answer a basic question -- but what does it take to build autonomous agents which manage long, delicate processes like multi-day medical treatments? In this workshop, we'll explore a workflow Stride built in partnership with Avila (https://avilascience.com/) that helps patients self-administer medication regimens at home. The stack includes LangGraph/LangSmith, Claude, MCP, Node.js, React, MongoDB, and Twilio, and rests on a foundation of treatm ...

With the rise of MCP servers, A2A, and our trusty friend, OpenAPI, it turns out the web browser may be the default MCP server for the rest of the internet. In this talk, we'll walk through how a web browsing tool is probably the only tool you'll need to enable production AI Agents. About Paul Klein IV Paul Klein IV is a San‑Francisco‑based serial entrepreneur and engineer. After honing his chops at Twilio during it's IPO and founding Stream Club—a live‑streaming platform acquired by Mux in 2021 he launched ...

This talk will briefly trace the history of video generation models before diving into Veo 3, Google DeepMind's latest state-of-the-art model that marks a significant leap by generating video with synchronized audio—including dialogue, sound effects, and music—all from text and image prompts. We'll show how it can understanding intricate details, maintain coherence over longer sequences, and simulate realistic physics and camera movements. For developers, Veo 3, accessible via Vertex AI (preview), unlocks m ...
