Agent Night Out: Making Agents Worth It in Production

​Your agents can work all night. The question is whether it’s worth it.

​Agent Night Out brings AI founders and builders together in San Francisco for an evening of good food, conversations and ideas. Agents are taking on bigger, longer tasks, and the models behind them are changing fast. StepFun is hosting the night and will share Step 5 Preview, our latest open-weights model designed for long-running AI agents, built to stay on task through long, multi-step work.

​Come meet people building agents like you, and talk about what it takes to make agents work in the real world.
