The "AI as a feature" phase is over. Now it's about shipping production-grade agents — serving your customers, running inside your org, holding up at scale. The real conversations happen in hallway chats and breakfast tables with people who are three months ahead of you on a problem you're about to hit. That's what this is. We're hosting a curated breakfast for the people working on exactly that. If you're an agent builder shipping customer-facing agents or running them internally this one's for you! No panels. No pitches. When: Every Wednesday Where: TBD Format: Invite only — seats are limited Agents & Bagels is a weekly series by Scalekit for a curated room of agent builders — YC founders and engineers from Meta, NVIDIA, Walmart, OpenAI, and more get together. Each week, we partner with one AI company building for agent builders and give them the room . Interested in co-hosting? Apply here and we'll reach out if there's a fit. About us: Scalekit is the connectivity layer between AI agents and enterprise apps - SaaS apps, APIs, MCP servers. Agent builders use our SDK to let agents act on behalf of users with per-user token lifecycle, scoped permissions, and tool-calling that holds up in production.

Come hang out with AI Tinkerers and learn how to use Nebius - the Ultimate AI Cloud. Join builders, technical operators, and researchers for a practical evening on building AI products and the infrastructure needed to carry them from prototype to production. We’ll explore how to: Create an agent using Nebius's Token Factory Ship it without becoming an infrastructure company, using open-model inference, fine-tuning, and production deployment. Expect a live build that takes a generic “AI wrapper” and turns it into a grounded vertical agent. Bring a workflow you know deeply; leave with a clearer map of what could become your IP. Food will be provided To stay tuned for future events, follow the AI Tinkerers SG Luma Page This event is presented by Yong Quan , a proud Nebius Fellow, with support from Nebius. Interested in joining the Nebius Fellows community or partnering on future events? Learn more here: https://nebius.com/fellows AI Tinkerers Singapore is a community for people who want to build, test, and learn with AI in the open—founders, engineers, researchers, product builders, and the simply curious. The point is hands-on exploration, honest technical conversation, and meeting others who are making things real. Nebius is an AI infrastructure company. Its Token Factory platform gives developers access to open AI models through a simple API, with the option to move from experimentation to production inference, fine-tuning, and dedicated capacity without operating GPUs themselves.

Daytona AI Researchers - Stanford, July 21, 2026 On Tuesday, July 21 , Daytona and FounderCoHo are again co-hosting an exclusive, high-signal evening dedicated to researchers at Stanford University to explore when we take long-horizon, stateful agents seriously — from the infrastructure that makes them possible, to the evaluation frameworks that make them trustworthy. Agenda 🕒 5:30 pm – 6:00 pm Welcome Reception and Opening Remarks 🎤 Marijan Cipcic , Principal Events Manager at Daytona 🕒 6:00 pm – 6:15 pm Talk "Today's Agents Don't Live In Episodes" 🎤 Muhammad Annas Hashmi , DevRel at Daytona Outline: The 'episode' (short, stateless, resettable) has been RL's foundational abstraction since ATARI. It underpins the Gym API, GRPO, PPO, and the conventional sandbox lifecycle. Today's agents no longer fit it. Tasks span for days; the env state at hour 18 of an agent session with warm caches, installed deps, live processes, open sockets, dirty git tree, is worth hours of wall clock to reproduce. Three things are scaling simultaneously. Rollout horizon: seconds -> days. Env state: disposable between episodes -> first-class learning substrate. Branching: absent in modern LLM-RL -> speculative fork trees. Each stresses the inherited toolkit in a different way, and all three have been gated on the same missing primitives: VMs you can fork cheaply, pause without killing processes, snapshot mid-run, and resume hours later. This talk walks through what opens up when those primitives become available. Live demo of long-horizon sessionful rollouts, mid-trajectory forking, and cross-calendar-time training. The research questions that follow (long-horizon benchmarks, speculative RL algorithms, event-driven training, to name a few) are where the next wave of agent RL gets built. 🕒 6:15 pm – 6:30 pm Talk " We Scaled Data Wrong" 🎤 Jun Park , CEO at hillclimb Outline: For every significant leap in model intelligence, there was a massive dataset that helped us get there. The first chatbots had common crawl, coding agents had github. The next jump in model intelligence requires hyperspecialized training data (finance, health, law, etc) yet we don't have it. What have we, as an industry, done wrong? 🕒 6:30 pm – 6:45 pm Talk "Open RL Stack for Training Long-Horizon Agents" 🎤 Sijun Tan , PhD researcher at UC Berkeley’s Sky Computing Lab Outline: Training long-horizon language agents requires more than a model and a reward signal: it requires a full stack for orchestrating agent sandboxes, running asynchronous rollouts, computing custom rewards and losses, and scaling across different training backends. In this talk, I will introduce rLLM , an open reinforcement learning stack designed to make this workflow practical and reproducible. rLLM lets users train agents on any harness, execute them in flexible sandboxes, and plug in custom evaluation logic for task-specific reward shaping, custom losses, and multi-step trajectories. The system supports fully asynchronous training and multiple backend options, making it easier to move from experimentation to large-scale training without rewriting agent code. I will also share examples of how rLLM is used in long-horizon agent settings and discuss the design tradeoffs behind building an open RL infrastructure for agentic RL training. 🕒 6:45 pm – 7:00 pm Talk " FrontierCS: Evaluating LLMs on Open-Ended CS problems" 🎤 Hanchen Li , PhD researcher at UC Berkeley’s Sky Computing Lab Outline: Auto-Research has been growing in popularity over the months. We will share latest updates of our project Frontier-CS, one of the pioneers in benchmarking Auto-Research before it was hot! We will share the existing benchmark, the design behind the project, and some ongoing work on improving auto-research data pipeline and evaluation. 🕒 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm Networking With food and beverages About event An engaging meetup designed for AI researchers to connect, share ideas, and explore the latest advancements in artificial intelligence. The event features informal networking, short talks, and discussions on current research trends, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange within the AI community.

Join us for an AI hackathon designed for anybody frustrated by AI agents completing real world tasks. This is not a high-pressure coding competition. It is an exploration of what agents can do when they aren't limited by verification codes, making payments, voice calls in a different language, and so much more. Please feel free to bring an AI agent you have started, but never finished. You'll learn how to set up Novita APIs and models, use ActionLayer to complete tasks, and follow a clear workflow from idea to working demo. Come solo or with a team. Beginners are welcome. What to Expect Practical walkthrough of Novita API and model setup Example AI app ideas you can build Hands-on session from ActionLayer on taking AI to the physical world Building tips, technical guidance, Q&A Time to meet other builders, creators, and collaborators Event Schedule 5:30 PM: Doors open + tacos 6:00 – 6:45 PM: Lightning workshops by Novita and ActionLayer teams 6:45 – 8:00 PM: Hacking 8:00 PM: Judging/Awards Judges Reddit: Nathan Handler ClarityCare AI: Oscar Courbit, Simon Lefort Atlas: Aditya Salian Prizes $7K+ in prizes including Novita credits, ActionLayer tasks, and more! Special prizes include interviews for open roles such as FDE. Please make sure to bring a laptop.
