What to look forward to
DigitalOcean, NVIDIA, SGLang, and Major League Hacking will spotlight how production agents can improve through feedback, evaluations, sandboxing, and open-model routing, with lightning talks and live demos. Speakers will include Jiantao Jiao, NVIDIA Director of AI and Distinguished Scientist, and Balaji Varadarajan, DigitalOcean Inference Engineer.
Inside the event
Celebrate SGLang Summit and AI Engineer Code Summit Together
Your agents improve every run. Your night improves every round.
Most agents ship once and stay the same. The best ones keep getting better. They learn from every run, every eval, and every piece of user feedback.
Join DigitalOcean, NVIDIA, SGLang, and Major League Hacking for an evening about building that loop. You’ll see how teams build agent harnesses, safely run coding agents in sandboxes, measure them against their own traffic instead of a public leaderboard, route each task to the right open model, and turn what they learn in production into the next, better version of their agent. It all happens on one platform, from inference to agents.
Expect lightning talks and live demos, food, drinks, and conversation with engineers, researchers, and founders who are running agents in production.
Who should come: Anyone building agents, including:
- AI and ML engineers
- Infra engineers
- Founders
- Technical leaders who want their agents to get better after launch
