Building Production-Ready AI Agents

Slide deck available here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1WPHAlIDJq4r8EPm843vFUPix-Kbtj9IfQmu_s3enshI/preview?slide=id.g3769c07861e_1_2

This is a practical look at building AI agents that drive business impact with Lin Qiao, CEO of Fireworks AI and co-creator of PyTorch. She’ll share strategic frameworks for agent design (from product-model co-design to sustainable data flywheels), plus case studies from customers Cursor, Uber and UiPath. Learn how top engineering teams approach model selection, fine-tuning, and scaling to outperform closed-source solutions. This session covers the full agent lifecycle, with insights for evaluating agent opportunities, deploying to production, and adapting to the fast pace of model evolution.
