The One About Agents & Evals (Round II)

Building an agent is one thing. Getting it to production, and knowing you can trust it there, is another. Join practitioners as they share what it takes to move agents beyond the demo, from the messy realities of building and shipping to evaluating whether they're actually ready for the real world. More About the Sharings Nazran (Lead Software Engineer, Zuno Carbon) will share on “Iterating Our Way to Shipping a Data Agent” Fahim Surani (APJ Head of Solutions Architecture, Arize) will share on "How to Get Your Agents to Production: Or Die Trying."
