What to look forward to
South Park Commons’ Post-Training forum will host a technical fireside chat on agent evaluations, trace-driven continual learning, operationalizing evaluation data, and when to move to post-training. LangChain Co-Founder and CTO Ankush Gola, an expert in agent evaluation, will speak with moderators Nick Mecklenburg, CTO of Whitney AI, and Whitney AI CEO Vatsal Bajaj.
Inside the event
Ask anyone shipping agents what matters most in the development lifecycle, and the answer keeps coming back to evaluations and the data that underlies them. Good evals drive progress for application companies and frontier labs alike. Join SPC's Post-Training forum for a technical and product-focused conversation with LangChain's Co-Founder and CTO, Ankush Gola, one of the leading experts in agent evaluation. We'll explore what it means for traces to be the workhorse of continual learning, the challenges of operationalizing them, and when to make the jump to post-training. Event Details 2:45pm: Doors open 3:00pm - 4:00pm: Fireside chat Where: SPC SF
Moderated by Nick Mecklenburg (CTO, Whitney AI; post-training forum lead) and Vatsal Bajaj (CEO, Whitney AI)
