What to look forward to
Agent Night Out will bring AI founders, builders, researchers, and investors together for a StepFun researcher talk unveiling Step 5 Preview, an open-weights model built for long-running agents, plus a founder panel on making agents economically viable in production. Speakers include StepFun pretraining researcher Zili Wang and founders and product leaders from TinyFish, Monid.ai, MatrAIx, and Featherless.
Inside the event
Your agents can work all night. The question is whether it’s worth it.
Agent Night Out brings AI founders and builders together in San Francisco for an evening of good food, conversations and ideas. Agents are taking on bigger, longer tasks, and the models behind them are changing fast. StepFun is hosting the night and will share Step 5 Preview, our latest open-weights model designed for long-running AI agents, built to stay on task through long, multi-step work.
Come meet people building agents like you, and talk about what it takes to make agents work in the real world.
