Agent Night Out: Full Stack, Real Costs 🔥 StepFun × TinyFish × Featherless × Monid × MatrAIx
​Models. Inference. Tools. Web. Evals. All in one room.
​StepFun is bringing together founders and builders from TinyFish, Featherless, Monid, and MatrAIx for a night of food, drinks, and candid conversations in San Francisco.
​A model’s token price only tells part of the story. What about tool calls, web execution, failed tasks, and knowing whether the result was any good?
​We’ll start with Step 5 Preview, StepFun’s latest open-weights model for long-running AI agents, then hear how teams across the agent stack approach these questions.
​What to expect
​Light dinner and refreshments through the evening

​Panel: Do More, Spend Smarter
How do we get better results without driving up costs?
​Founders building across the agent stack discuss what it takes to make agents more capable and reliable, from choosing the right models and tools to evaluating real task outcomes. Across models, inference, tools, web, and evals, we'll look beyond token pricing to what really matters: the cost of getting a task done successfully.
​Who should come
​Founders, CTOs, and engineers building AI agents, developer tools, and AI-powered products. Whether you’re already shipping agents or getting ready for production, come meet others working through the same challenges.
