​Our 7th AI Agent Meetup is sponsored by Neo4j and the AI Alliance.

​​The SF AI Agent Meetup is a new & growing community for AI Agent Developers, Engineers, UX, Ops, and Applied Researchers exploring and leading the evolution of AI agents. Whether you're building autonomous systems, experimenting with LLM-powered assistants, or integrating AI agents into real-world applications, this meetup is the place to discover, share insights, and collaborate with your peers. Join us for talks, demos, discussions and networking with like-minded innovators shaping the next generation of AI.

​​​📆 Agenda

• ​​​5:00 pm – Checkin & Networking

• ​​​5:30 pm – Introductions & Welcome

• ​​5:45 pm - Talks:

  • ​​Code Review is Dead; Long Live Code Review!
    Beyang Liu, Co-Founder and CTO, Sourcegraph/AmpCode.
    
    The bottleneck for agentic coding is now human review. If you don't read the code, you're going to ship slop. But reading code is a lot less fun than writing it. What should we do?"

  • ​​Parallel is the New Fast: High Velocity Engineering as the New Methodology
    Mike Biglan, Founder and CEO of DevSwarm
    
    High Velocity Engineering, or HiVE coding, is to agile as agile was to waterfall. See how parallel, branch-isolated agents run in parallel while keeping coders in the loop and reviewing code first. I’ll show DevSwarm running with Amp as a CLI worker to plan, refactor, test, and document inside branch-isolated workspaces. Building on Beyang’s point about shifting bottlenecks, HiVE makes review faster and safer without losing ownership. This is AI-first coding, NOT vibe coding. The code matters. PRs, human review, and automated QA matter. The result is moving fast without sacrificing quality and we’ll discuss the principles that define this new methodology. 
    Mike is focused on High Velocity Engineering (HiVE): parallel AI assistants in branch-isolated workspaces that help teams ship faster with quality and control. I also lead Twenty Ideas, a 60-person studio in Oregon, and previously served as Head of Technology at Marco Polo. I speak on HiVE adoption, developer productivity, multi-agent orchestration, and practical, secure AI-first workflows.

  • ​The Future of Building: How AI Coding Is Transforming Product Development with Trae
    Gary Qi, Developer Operation Manager of TRAE. 
    
    As AI-native tools evolve, we’re entering a new era of software development—faster, more creative, and radically more accessible. In this talk, we’ll explore how Trae envisions the future of AI Coding: where building becomes as natural as thinking, and development workflows are transformed by agentic automation. From removing technical barriers to enabling faster, collaborative creation, discover how AI will transform not just how we code, but what we’re capable of building.
    

• ​​7:15 pm – Lightning / Community Talks

  • ​Small Models as Tools for Coding Agents by Tejas Bhakta — Founder & CEO, Morph. 
    
    What happens when frontier models hit 99% on a task — does it still make sense to use them? In a world of compute scarcity, we’ll need intelligence hierarchies: frontier models for reasoning, and small models as specialized tools for execution. Morph builds these tools for coding agents, serving as a fast, safe, and production-grade infrastructure layer for frontier models.

• ​​​7:30 pm – Open Networking w/ Pizza and Sodas

• ​​8:30 pm – Close
