Why it matters
Software factories — AI-driven systems that generate and maintain codebases autonomously — represent the leading edge of agentic engineering. Having DeepMind and a top-tier VC in one room makes this a signal event.
The tokenmaxxing angle
Software factories are token-intensive by design: continuous code generation, review, and iteration loops. Understanding how Sequoia and DeepMind think about these architectures informs cost-aware agent design.
From the organizers
Agenda shows fireside from 7:00–7:45 PM with Zach Lloyd and Paige Bailey, preceded by remarks from Sequoia's Andrew Reed. Venue is Novela, a literary cocktail lounge in SF.
