Modal x Pydantic London Meetup: How We Build Dev Tools for You and Your Agents

​Agents changed what developers need from their tools. Modal and Pydantic are both building for that shift: Modal on the AI cloud infra, Pydantic on agent observability and evals. Our teams behind are coming to talk about what they actually changes.

​Schedule
6:30 – 6:45 PM Welcome & Networking

Talks
Samuel Colvin, Founder at Pydantic - Pydantic Logfire wraps OpenTelemetry in a thin layer so code instrumentation works with little setup. In this talk, Samuel digs into how the SDK was designed for both human and agent audiences, the choices that keep it lightweight, and how the same foundation scales from agent observability to application-wide monitoring.

Elias Freider, Founding Engineer at Modal - How Modal builds a Python SDK that works for developers and agents from deploying functions to spinning up sandboxes. Elias walks through the internals, the pitfalls the team hit along the way, and how they solved them.
