AI Engineer

We're excited to announce the AI Engineer Code Summit! Read on for a bit of context; apply to attend at the link in our reply. AI coding tools and agents have redefined how we develop software. AI Engineering teams can move so fast that the message is clear: if you're not using AI code to build your software, then from the perspective of those who are using them, you're literally stuck in the past. This invite-only event brings together the top AI Engineers & AI Leaders who are actively using the latest in AI coding tools in their personal workflow and in their organizational structure. As users and innovators of frontier technologies & processes, we will connect to exchange stories, experience, and lessons with each other to drive our collective industry and profession forward. Anchoring the hallway track are talks from the top companies, AI Engineers, AI Architects, & founders/CEOs who will share their own experience, lessons, and advice for an advanced technical audience. Once again we have a "no vendor talks" policy to ensure maximum value transfer. Our stage will feature the top AI Coding builders from: - Google DeepMind - Anthropic - OpenAI - Amazon - Microsoft - Cursor - Cognition - Factory - Conductor - Augment Code - Amp Code - Cline - Goldman Sachs - McKinsey - MIT - Stanford - Cornell - & more! CFP also open until Sept 15, see link in reply. Additionally, the AI Engineer Expo will not only feature the top companies who are supplying AI Engineers with the latest tools, agents, and workflows for AI Code, but will also feature a diverse group of companies innovating in other areas. This expo will be a tour de force of productivity and innovation where the bleeding edge meets companies who have proved (or are forging!) product/market fit. Just like our February summit on "Agents at Work", this event has 2 tracks: AI Engineering (hands-on-keyboard) and AI Leadership (AI Architects, VPs, & other AI executives). These tracks are held on 2 separate days -- invitees can purchase one or both tracks. Summit is our highest-signal, invite-only event. Attendance is limited to 500 per track. Apply today at the link in the replies to connect with your industry peers and leaders to take your personal and company code to the next level.

We are hiring! To support our ambitious growth plans in 2026, we are seeking to expand our founding team with a Developer Marketing and Community Manager. Please apply via the link: https://lnkd.in/enmQNJPz

Last week I introduced LabMind, a real-time AI co-scientist to support researchers with their experiments: https://lnkd.in/gGUYSUR7 You can now watch my talk from AI Engineer conference in San Francisco where I did a live demo of the platform and presented some experiments where I used LabMind assistance.

CFP is now open for AIE Paris! https://lnkd.in/dJw8H2a6 We're looking for practical applications and advancements in AI engineering, with a focus on open source models, AI agents workflows, and high-performance inference. Deadline Aug 1. Send us your talk proposal today!👇

One weekend I started playing around with self-improving agents. I tried imagining a world where an agent will be able to build itself and improve its own prompts by running and evaluating itself. I played around with a RAG pipeline we have as part of Traceloop's docs, and see if I can improve its performance without doing anything - just let the agent iterate and improve the prompt by itself. The results were astonishing - the agent was able to improve the performance of our RAG pipeline by almost 200% - without me having to do anything (well, except for having to build all the evals, and write the prompt improving agent - but you get my point). And so I realized - prompt engineering is dead. It wasn't engineering, really. It was just us manually doing what AI can now do automatically. Think about it: we've been spending hours crafting the perfect prompts, tweaking words, adding examples, adjusting tone. But that's exactly what these self-improving agents excel at - iterating through variations, testing performance, and optimizing based on results. The future isn't about becoming better prompt engineers. It's about building systems that can engineer their own prompts. Systems that can evaluate their own performance and continuously improve without human intervention. I gave a talk about this at the AI Engineer World Fair last month in SF - about how to build such agents and what this means for the future of building with AI. Check it out in the comments below.

I’m thrilled to share that Koyeb is bringing the AI Engineer Conference to Paris on Sept 23-24! 🇫🇷 After 4 successful editions in San Francisco 🌉 and NYC 🗽, gathering 1000s of builders in AI infra, tooling, and applications around highly curated content, we’re organizing the 1st AI Engineer conference outside of the US. ⬇️ With the support from Benjamin and Shawn swyx, creators of the original AI Engineer conferences, we're organizing the first ever edition of AI Engineer in Europe 🇪🇺.
