On August 20th, FriendliAI, OpenHands, Ollama, and Nvidia will co-host an event in San Francisco focusing on how open models and autonomous AI coding agents are reshaping the economics of software engineering.
The session will explore key topics including:
- Production Readiness: Requirements for deploying autonomous agents in production environments.
- Cost & Latency Tradeoffs: A comparison between open models (e.g., Kimi, GLM) and closed alternatives (e.g., Claude Code) regarding cost and latency.
- Strategic Decisions: Whether engineering teams should build their own SDLC or outsource it, and the impact on tech stacks, budgets, and vendor strategies.
This event is designed for CTOs and engineering leaders looking for strategic insights.
