AX is the only Experience that Matters - Ivan Burazin, Daytona AI Engineer 2025-07-24 | If you’re building devtools for humans, you’re building for the past. Already a quarter of Y Combinator’s latest batch used AI to write 95% or more of their code. AI agents are scaling at an exponential rate and soon, they’ll outnumber human developers by orders of magnitude.The real bottleneck isn’t intelligence. It’s tooling. Terminals, local machines, and dashboards weren’t built for agents. They make do… until they can’t.In this talk, I’ll share how we killed the CLI at Daytona, rebuilt our infrastructure from first principles, and what it takes to build devtools that agents can actually use. Because in an agent-native future, if agents can’t use your tool, no one will.About Ivan BurazinIvan Burazin co-founded Codeanywhere, the very first cloud IDE, back in 2009 where he and the team had to create everything from scratch, from the IDE itself, to the entire orchestration. Concurrently, he established Shift, the premier developer conference in Europe, which was later acquired by Infobip - a global communications cloud giant in 2021. Following the acquisition, Ivan served on the executive board of this 4,000-person company and as the Chief Developer Experience Officer, where he oversaw global developer-oriented operations.In 2023, Ivan co-founded Daytona, a fast-growing open-source platform addressing the limitations of AI coding agents by enabling them to programmatically and securely interact with runtime environments.Backed by $7M in funding, Daytona empowers developers, from startups to Fortune 500 companies to enable AI agents to achieve their full potential.Recorded at the AI Engineer World's Fair in San Francisco.

Monetizing AI — Alvaro Morales, Orb AI Engineer 2025-07-23 | As AI continues to transform industries, companies are faced with the critical challenge of effectively monetizing AI-driven products in a way that captures value, ensures customer adoption, and scales revenue sustainably. Unlike traditional SaaS models, AI-powered products have unique complexities - such as fluctuating usage patterns, variable compute costs, and evolving customer demands, making conventional pricing strategies unhelpful to the growth of an AI product-led startup.In this session, Alvaro Morales, CEO and co-founder of Orb, will explore why the often overlooked monetization aspect of AI is critical for businesses. He’ll share real-world examples and data to demonstrate how adaptive pricing models can drive cost savings, enhance customer experience, and reduce operational bottlenecks.Alvaro will lead a live demo, showcasing how engineers can simulate AI pricing strategies and subsequently integrate them with a simple plug-and-play solution. He’ll also share how real-world revenue simulations enable companies to test and refine pricing before implementing — reducing risk, boosting adoption, and unlocking new revenue streams. As a quick example, cloud software development platform Replit was looking to adopt a usage-based pricing model for a new product, but their existing billing system couldn't support the new model, and building a new billing system would delay the launch timeline. In order to get things done, they turned to Orb, which enabled them to make pricing changes up to the last minute. After the launch, Orb became the single source of truth for both Replit and its customers - providing usage alerts to notify Replit when users hit cost thresholds and provide insights into user spend and payment methods.Key takeaways: The challenge of AI monetization – Why traditional subscription-based SaaS pricing models don’t work for AI-powered products.Precision pricing – Exploring how usage-based, tiered, and hybrid pricing models can maximize revenue potential. Revenue simulation for AI pricing – Leveraging real-time data to test, adjust and optimize pricing strategies.Avoiding common pricing pitfalls – Identifying mistakes that can lead to revenue leakage and customer churn.This session is designed for AI executives, product leaders, and engineering teams looking for actionable strategies to build adaptive, scalable pricing models that drive long-term growth and profitability.---related links---https://x.com/alvaromoraleslinkedin.com/in/alvaro-moraleswithorb.com
Does AI Actually Boost Developer Productivity? (100k Devs Study) - Yegor Denisov-Blanch, Stanford AI Engineer 2025-07-23 | Forget vendor hype: Is AI actually boosting developer productivity, or just shifting bottlenecks? Stop guessing.Our study at Stanford cuts through the noise, analyzing real-world productivity data from nearly 100,000 developers across hundreds of companies.

When Vectors Break Down: Graph-Based RAG for Dense Enterprise Knowledge - Sam Julien, Writer AI Engineer 2025-07-22 | Enterprise knowledge bases are filled with "dense mapping," thousands of documents where similar terms appear repeatedly, causing traditional vector retrieval to return the wrong version or irrelevant information. When our customers kept hitting this wall with their RAG systems, we knew we needed a fundamentally different approach.In this talk, I'll share Writer's journey developing a graph-based RAG architecture that achieved 86.31% accuracy on the RobustQA benchmark while maintaining sub-second response times, significantly outperforming vector approaches.I'll survey the key techniques behind this performance leap and why graph-based approaches excel with complex enterprise information structures like product documentation, financial documents, and technical specifications that challenge traditional RAG systems. You'll learn about using specialized LLMs to build semantic relationships, how compression techniques efficiently handle concentrated enterprise data patterns, and how infusing key data points in the memory layer of the LLM lowers hallucination.The presentation will provide practical insights into identifying when graph-based approaches make sense for your organization's specific data challenges, helping you make informed architectural decisions for your next enterprise RAG system.About Sam JulienSam Julien is the Director of Developer Relations at Writer and is passionate about helping engineers improve their effectiveness and advance their careers.

HybridRAG: A Fusion of Graph and Vector Retrieval - Mitesh Patel, NVIDIA AI Engineer 2025-07-22 | Interpreting complex information from unstructured text data poses significant challenges to Large Language Models (LLM), with difficulties often arising from specialized terminology and the multifaceted relationships between entities in document architectures. Conventional Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) methods face limitations in capturing these nuanced interactions, leading to suboptimal performance. In our talk, we introduce a novel approach integrating Knowledge Graph-based RAG (GraphRAG) with VectorRAG, designed to refine question-answering (Q&A) systems for more effective information extraction from complex texts. Our approach employs a dual retrieval strategy that harnesses both knowledge graphs and vector databases, enabling the generation of precise and contextually appropriate answers, thereby setting a new standard for LLMs in processing sophisticated data.About Mitesh PatelMitesh Patel is a developer advocate manager at NVIDIA. His team is responsible for creating workflows to showcase how developers can harness GPU acceleration in their workflows using tools and frameworks popular in the developer community.

The Bitter Layout or: How I Learned to Love the Model Picker — Maximillian Piras, Yutori AI Engineer 2025-07-21 | Are conversational interfaces the future or, as many designers have suggested, a lazy solution that is bottlenecking AI-HCI? Despite well-documented usability issues, the design of many AI applications defaults to an input field, turn-by-turn flow, and an endless model picker — I call this “The Bitter Layout”.In this talk, we’ll explore how Clay Christensen’s theory of commoditization from the early PC industry can explain why scaling laws require AI interfaces to remain modular until models fully commoditize. The killer feature of conversational interfaces may not be that they’re natural, but that they’re conformable. Learn how to evolve interfaces as inference scales, spot shifts in the basis of competition, and stop worrying about the next model update steamrolling your design decisions.Foothill G 1&2: Design EngineeringAbout Maximillian PirasCurrently the Founding Designer at Yutori working on AI web agents.

A Taxonomy for Next-gen Reasoning — Nathan Lambert, Allen Institute (AI2) & Interconnects.ai AI Engineer 2025-07-19 | Current AI models are extremely skilled, which was seen as the step change in evaluation scores across the industry in the first half of 2025, but often fail when presented with even medium time-horizon tasks. This talk presents a taxonomy of 4 traits of reasoning models -- skills, calibration, strategy, and abstraction -- that will be crucial to creating the next generation of AI applications. With this, we focus on the latter two, strategy and abstraction, and discuss how these traits will enable long-horizon and reliable agents. The talk concludes with a scenario where these agentic behaviors are the foundation for RL continuing to scale in the coming years and post-training techniques reaching compute parity with pretraining methors sooner than later.About Nathan LambertNathan Lambert is a Senior Research Scientist and post-training lead at the Allen Institute for AI focusing on building open language models.
