She explains the balance between empowering decentralized teams to choose the best models and maintaining centralized oversight for security, RBAC, and cost control. Explore open-source solutions like LiteLLM and Doubleword to streamline your AI infra.</p> <i>By Meryem Arik</i> QCon AI 2025 Scalability Artificial Intelligence Transcripts AI, ML & Data Engineering presentation Wed, 20 May 2026 12:40:00 GMT https://www.infoq.com/presentations/ai-gateway-scalability/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Performance-presentations Meryem Arik 2026-05-20T12:40:00Z /presentations/ai-gateway-scalability/en Presentation: Using AI as a Thinking Partner for Large-Scale Engineering Systems https://www.infoq.com/presentations/ai-large-scale-engineering-systems/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Performance-presentations <img src="https://res.infoq.com/presentations/ai-large-scale-engineering-systems/en/mediumimage/medium-1778069080461.jpeg"/><p>Julie Qiu explains how AI serves as a "thinking partner" for engineering leaders. She discusses five distinct roles - Archaeologist, Experimenter, Critic, Author, and Reviewer - to manage the cognitive load of 400+ repositories. She shares how AI provides the "RAM" needed to synthesize legacy context, pressure-test designs, and accelerate high-level architectural decisions.</p> <i>By Julie Qiu</i> QCon AI 2025 Scalability Artificial Intelligence Transcripts Culture & Methods AI, ML & Data Engineering presentation Fri, 15 May 2026 13:00:00 GMT https://www.infoq.com/presentations/ai-large-scale-engineering-systems/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Performance-presentations Julie Qiu 2026-05-15T13:00:00Z /presentations/ai-large-scale-engineering-systems/en
