Summary
LA meetup for agent builders and operators: compare architectures, tool stacks, and the practical lessons that show up when you run agent loops long enough to feel the token bill.
Why it matters
Agentic AI is shifting from demos to operations. Local practitioner meetups are where teams trade the specifics—what to instrument, how to evaluate, and how to keep autonomy from exploding cost and complexity.
Tokenmaxxing angle
The point isn't to maximize usage; it's to maximize useful work per token. This is the kind of room where you can pressure-test your approach to budgets, traces, and routing before scaling up.
Source takeaway
Treat it as an operator checkpoint: leave with real-world heuristics for building agents that are reliable, measurable, and cheaper to iterate on.
