Next meetup

EBT #1: GPT-5.4, Anthropic 4.6, Agents, and AI Trust

Mar 20, 2026 | Lafayette, California

Free to attend. Small room. Bring one real workflow or question.

A short reading packet, then discussion about what is changing in product work, operations, and infrastructure.

We'll cover

  • Which model releases look meaningful once you put them into real workflows.
  • Where agent reliability and infrastructure still break down in practice.
  • How trust, backlash, and market signals may shape adoption more than benchmarks.

Format

  • Read the short packet before you come so everyone starts with the same context.
  • Come ready to talk about what you are seeing in real work, not just online takes.
  • Bring a short demo or workflow example if you want to share one.
