Agenda
🕒 5:30 pm – 5:40 pm
Welcome and Opening Remarks
🎤 Marijan Cipcic, Principal Events Manager at Daytona
🕒 5:40 pm - 6:00 pm
Talk "Orchestrating Cloud Code: Parallel Sandboxes with Daytona"
🎤 Vedran Jukic, Co-Founder & CTO at Daytona
Outline:
Daytona is an advanced AI sandbox platform delivering lightning-fast, secure infrastructure for running and testing AI-generated code. This demonstration showcases how Daytona Sandboxes transforms Cloud Code into a powerful orchestration platform for distributed development workflows. Using a local Cloud Code instance as the orchestrator, we'll demonstrate how natural language prompts can spawn and manage multiple parallel cloud instances running in isolated sandbox environments—enabling scenarios like parallel test execution across different configurations or coordinated multi-step development tasks.
🕒 6:00 pm - 6:20 pm
Talk "Recursive Language Models"
🎤 Arun Parthiban, Staff Software Engineer at Datadog
Outline:
Large Language Models struggle as context length grows, with reasoning and reliability degrading over long inputs. Recursive Language Models (RLMs) offer an alternative by treating long inputs as an external environment that models can programmatically inspect, decompose, and recursively call themselves on—without relying on a fixed context window. In this talk, Arun Parthiban explores RLMs and what they enable for long-context reasoning.
🕒 6:20 pm - 6:40 pm
Talk "The Web Search Layer, Now with the SOTA Research Endpoint"
🎤 Yashwanth Alapati, Software Engineer at Tavily
Outline:
Tavily is a developer first Web Search API built to help teams retrieve high quality results from the web. In this talk, we’ll introduce Tavily and walk through the core endpoints Search, Extract, and Crawl with a live demo. We’ll then highlight Tavily’s newest product, the Research Endpoint, and showcase the SOTA performance through a live demo.
🕒 6:40 pm - 8:30 pm
