	Agents in Production: Field Notes from Cloudreach Labs	Pending	Approved	—	Abstract	—	A field report on running AI agents safely in production, covering guardrails, rollback, and observability lessons learned at Cloudreach Labs.	—	—	—	—	—	Sswyx+kms-0033-speaker2@ai.engineer	Sswyx+kms-0033-speaker2@ai.engineer	—	—	—	—	—
	Your AI Pair Programmer Is Lying to You: Verification Patterns That Scale	Pending	Approved	—	Abstract	—	Code generation is easy; trusting it is hard. This session covers verification patterns for AI-generated code — property tests, mutation coverage, snapshot judges, and CI gates — with data from 18 months of running them on a 200-engineer codebase. Includes what we stopped doing because it didn't catch anything.	—	—	—	—	—	Ssbek-speaker2@example.com	Ssbek-speaker2@example.com	—	—	—	—	—

	Opening Keynote: Why Now	Pending	Approved	—	Abstract	AI-040	Why this conference, why now, and what we hope you take away from the next two days.	Talk (30 min)	Beginner	English	Product	Open Source	WCWei Chen	SOSam Organiser	—	—	—	—	1.2
	Panel: The Ethics of Autonomy	Pending	Approved	—	Abstract	AI-038	Autonomy raises questions the industry has been deferring. A panel on accountability, disclosure and the decisions we are quietly making on users' behalf.	Talk (30 min)	Intermediate	English	Infrastructure	CostSecurity	IKIdris Khan	SOSam Organiser	—	—	—	—	0.2
	Edge Inference on a Budget	Pending	Approved	—	Abstract	AI-009	Running models close to users without a GPU budget. Quantisation choices, the memory ceiling on commodity edge hardware, and an honest account of the quality we traded away and where it turned out to matter.

	Streaming UIs for Slow Models	Pending	Approved	—	Abstract	AI-008	When the model takes eleven seconds, the interface is the product. Streaming, skeletons, optimistic rendering and the moment users decide something is broken — with the abandonment numbers that changed our minds.

	Prompt Injection in the Wild	Pending	Approved	—	Abstract	AI-007	A field report on prompt injection attempts against a public-facing assistant: what was tried, what worked, and which mitigations were theatre. Includes the payload that got past three layers of filtering.	Talk (30 min)	Beginner	English	Evaluation	AgentsCost	SRSofia Rossi	SOSam Organiser	—	—	3.25 (3)	—	1.5
	Observability for Nondeterministic Systems	Pending	Approved	—	Abstract	AI-006	Traditional observability assumes the same input gives the same output. We cover the tracing schema we settled on, how we sample when every request is unique, and how to alert on quality drift without drowning in false positives.

	Fine-tuning Is Not the Answer	Pending	Approved	—	Abstract	AI-005	Fine-tuning is the first thing people reach for and usually the wrong one. We compare it against retrieval, prompt work and routing on the same three tasks, with the training costs and the maintenance burden included honestly.

	The Cost Curve of Inference	Pending	Approved	—	Abstract	AI-004	Inference costs do not scale the way finance expects. A breakdown of where our spend actually went across a year — prefill versus decode, cache hit economics, and the surprising fraction consumed by retries and abandoned streams.

	Vector Databases at a Billion Rows	Pending	Approved	—	Abstract	AI-002	Everything is fast at ten million rows. We walk through what actually broke between one hundred million and a billion: index build times, memory-mapped segment churn, and the recall cliff nobody warns you about when you quantise too aggressively.

	Evaluating RAG: Beyond Vibes	Pending	Approved	—	Abstract	AI-003	Most RAG evaluation is a demo and a feeling. We describe the offline harness we built, why we abandoned answer-similarity scoring, and how a small hand-labelled set of two hundred questions caught regressions our automated metrics happily approved.

	Shipping LLM Agents Without Losing Sleep	Pending	Approved	—	Abstract	AI-001	We ran agents in production for eighteen months and most of what we believed at the start was wrong. This covers the retry semantics, the budget guards and the three incidents that shaped our current design, including the one that took a weekend to unpick.
