Vibe Shift: The Builders Behind the Models
Where foundation models meet product imagination.
Foundation models are evolving fast—but the real differentiation is happening where research meets real-world products. Join Rocket and Twill for an in-person evening with the builders shaping how AI actually gets shipped.
This event brings together leaders across applied science, AI engineering, and product to unpack what it really takes to turn foundation models into scalable, user-loved experiences. Expect candid insights, practical lessons, and forward-looking perspectives from those working at the frontier.
What we’ll cover
How teams move from foundation models to production-ready systems
Tradeoffs between research ambition and product constraints
