State of AI Engineering 2025
What can we conclude about the state of AI Engineering heading into 2026?
Besides the fact that we’ve kicked off the decade of Agents, what else is worth taking with us into the new year?
In this event, we’re going to try to find out!
We’ve collected some resources that we’ll bring an AI Makerspace lens to in an attempt to try and sort out the signal from the noise.
We’ll try to articulate what we think will continue to prove out it’s importance by surviving well into the new year, and what we’ll probably end up leaving behind.
Here are a few resources we’ll consider
These include:
Andrej Karpathy - AGI is still a decade away (October 17, 2025)
State of AI Report (release date, October 9, 2025)
State of LLMs in Late 2025 (release date, October 7, 2025)
State of Vibe Coding (release date, September 18, 2025)
As well as whatever else we dig up as relevant to the discush! Join us for a wide-ranging, hopefully insightful, and fun deep dive into key AIE topics that matter to AI Engineers and leaders.
