Infra for the Next 10B Agents w/ a16z

​An invite-only private gathering for the best builders and researchers in agents and infra

​AI agents are moving from demos to products, and from products to production systems. But the infra stack is still early: runtimes, orchestration, sandboxes, memory, evals, observability, reliability, safety, and cost control are all being rebuilt in real time.

​This private gathering brings together a small, curated group of 20–30 people shaping the agent ecosystem: key builders creating agent products, high-signal developer voices, and researchers pushing the frontier of agents.

​We’ll center the conversation on one question:

​What infrastructure do we need for the next 10 billion agents?

​Panelists

​Martin Casado, General Partner at a16z

​Michele Catasta, President & Head of AI at Replit

​Guanlan Dai, Founder & CEO of Runta, formerly early team of Cloudflare and Kong

​Moderator: Monica Xie

​Together, we’ll dig into:

• ​What breaks when agents move from prototype to production

• ​What agent builders actually need from infra today

• ​Where the next infra categories will emerge: runtime, sandbox, evals, observability, memory, identity, security, and more

• ​How to design products for a world where agents become users, workers, and customers

• ​What the next wave of infra startups should get right
