Tech Talk: Building Fast and Safe Data Systems for Interactive Agents
Speakers: Ori Brostovski (Software Engineer, Firebolt)
Abstract: Whether they’re part of a workflow or powering a user experience, AI agents often need to work on your data at interactive speeds. Because of this, they demand more from data systems than traditional analytics workloads. Low latency is no longer a luxury, and handling concurrency is essential if you want an agent to scale with a growing platform. But with great access comes great risk: safeguards and strict permission models are critical. This talk will explore the principles and patterns for building responsive, reliable data infrastructure that agents can trust and users can depend on.

Tech Talk: The Zen of Claude Code
Speakers: Vlad Gheorghe
Abstract: This talk traces the evolution of AI agents from the ambitious but complex AutoGPT experiment in 2023, through Cursor's gradual "autonomy slider" approach (2023-2025), to the elegant simplicity of Claude Code in 2025. The presentation argues that we've moved from highly complex systems with multiple agents, embeddings, and cloud infrastructure that, while groundbreaking, often struggled with basic tasks, to "The Zen of Claude Code": a simple terminal-based agent that achieves excellent performance by embracing the bitter lesson.
