Bay Area Founders Club Weekly Events Roundup by Dr. Paul Fang

Transcript

A few themes stand out this week. This week is all about agents moving into production. The conversations are getting less theoretical and much more practical, with events focused on evals, infrastructure, workflows, observability, enterprise deployment, and what breaks once AI leaves the demo stage. Events pushing that theme forward include Running AI at Enterprise Scale, Operationalizing Agents with Google DeepMind, Snowflake, and Google Research, No Evals, No Optimization, No Production, AI in Production Mini Conference, From Signal to Action, and Agents & APIs SF Developer Meetup. The builder energy is also intense. Nearly every night has a hackathon, demo night, workshop, or founder meetup somewhere in San Francisco, with events like Frontier Residency Demo Day, Hardware Pitch Night, Female Founder Vibe Coding Workshop, Autoresearch Systems Hackathon, Web Data Unlocked Hackathon, and Kane Cli Hack Day. So if you are choosing where to spend your time this week, start with the question the post is pointing toward: are you trying to learn, build, test, ship, or meet the people working on the same problem?
