Why it matters
Running models locally and testing non-deterministic AI features are two problems teams hit once a pilot becomes a product. Both talks come from practitioners rather than vendors.
The tokenmaxxing angle
A talk framed around living without AI subscriptions points straight at local models as a way to cut recurring spend. The AI test pyramid talk ties in because evals decide when a cheaper model is good enough.
