Why it matters
The event targets the shift from 'can we build agents' to 'how do we build agents that actually hold up.' Cross-stack engineers sharing production war stories offer hard-won lessons on correctness failures and context management that papers cannot replicate.
The tokenmaxxing angle
Context and control are the two biggest token-cost levers in production agents — bloated context windows drain spend, and poor control logic triggers unnecessary retries. A panel of practitioners cross-examining these exact issues is directly on-topic for AI FinOps audiences.
From the organizers
The event description states 'The problem has shifted from can we build agents to how do we build agents that actually hold up,' and it convenes engineers from frameworks, deployment, frontend, and data infrastructure layers at AWS Builder Loft.
