Why it matters
Panelists are technical staff and YC-backed founders actually shipping products with Codex, giving grounded signal on where agentic coding tools deliver value.
The tokenmaxxing angle
Panel covers how founders decide what coding work to hand to an autonomous agent versus do manually, a direct read on token/agent-run cost versus engineer-hour tradeoffs.
From the organizers
Confirmed panelists include Yufei Zhao (OpenAI/Stanford) and YC S26 founders Karan Raina (HyperProbe), Serena Pei (Palette), and Jermaine Zhao (Libra Robotics), at Sports Basement Stonestown Galleria.
