Presentation: Context Is the New Code

Patrick Debois — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Patrick Debois discusses how to manage, evaluate, distribute, and observe context using proven software engineering practices. He shares how treating context like code - complete with testing, CI/CD, package managers, and security scanning - enables engineering leaders to reliably scale AI coding agents, maintain control over non-deterministic outputs, and build long-term organizational knowledge.

Presentation: The Agent Harness: Control Planes, Invariants, and Approval Boundaries for Production AI Agents

Vinoth Govindarajan — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 11:00:00 GMT

OpenAI’s Vinoth Govindarajan discusses why production AI agents fail beyond model hallucination. Using real-world case studies like OpenClaw, he explains the key principles of reliable agent harnesses: establishing explicit state ownership, serializing concurrent state mutations, scoping execution authority, and validating actions at the user-visible edge.
