Kickoff CoLM with EPAM & AI Circle | Happy Hour + Expert Panel: Whats Missing From The Stack?

​The Missing Layer: What Frontier AI Still Needs From the Real World

​As frontier models move from answering questions to performing increasingly complex, long-horizon work, the problems around training and evaluation are changing with them.

​Synthetic data, expert feedback, simulated environments, verifiers and increasingly sophisticated evals are pushing capability forward, but real-world workflows continue to expose gaps that benchmarks alone don't always capture.

​Ahead of CoLM, EPAM × AI Circle are bringing together researchers and technical leaders for a candid conversation about what is working today, where teams are still relying on workarounds or building internally, and what the next generation of AI systems will require.

​We'll explore the signals, environments, tools and infrastructure researchers need as models move deeper into real-world work — followed by drinks and conversation with the community.
