A work-in-progress with real findings beats a finished demo with none.</p> 427<p>Where possible, include an architecture walkthrough, a working example, or a demo that helps explain your findings.</p> 428<p>With that in mind, here are the three topics weâre interested in for this round.</p> 429<h2 id="h:topics-of-interest"><a href="#h:topics-of-interest">Topics of interest</a></h2> 430<h3 id="h:agents-in-production"><a href="#h:agents-in-production">Agents in production</a></h3> 431<p>The core focus for this event is agents that are live and taking real traffic: chat assistants, coding agents, voice bots, workflow automation wired into CRM, ticketing or internal tools, or anything else in that shape. Weâre not fixed on the form the agent takes; weâre interested in what happened after it went live.</p> 432<p>We also welcome work that stopped short of production when you can explain what you learned and why you chose not to ship.</p> 433<p>If youâre not sure what to cover, start here:</p> 434<ul> 435<li>What did going from prototype to production actually costâin latency, dollars, and engineering time?</li> 436<li>Where did the agent fail in a way your evals didnât catch, and how did you find out?</li> 437<li>Whatâs the recovery path when the agent gets it wrongâretry, escalation to a human, or silent failure?</li> 438<li>What did you have to build around the agentâguardrails, monitoring, fallback logicâthat you hadnât planned for?</li> 439</ul> 440<h3 id="h:applied-ai"><a href="#h:applied-ai">Applied AI</a></h3> 441<p>RAG, MCP, skills, plugins, and agent tooling: how these get built into a product that ships. Stories about integration pain, cost, and what the first version got wrong are as welcome as the polished result.</p> 442<p>If youâre not sure what to cover, start here:</p> 443<ul> 444<li>What did you try first that didnât work, and what made you change your approach?</li> 445<li>Where did the abstraction leak? What did the framework or library n
445ot tell you until it hit production?</li> 446<li>What did you end up building yourself because the off-the-shelf piece didnât fit?</li> 447<li>What surprised you once real data and real users hit it?</li> 448<li>Have you turned tools like Claude Code, Codex, or custom agent harnesses into shared team infrastructure through skills, plugins, marketplaces, or reusable workflows? What changed when colleagues started using and extending them?</li> 449</ul> 450<h3 id="h:fine-tuning-rl-environments-and-small-language-mod"><a href="#h:fine-tuning-rl-environments-and-small-language-mod">Fine-tuning, RL environments, and small language models</a></h3> 451<p>We welcome experiences with fine-tuning runs that did or didnât beat prompting, distillation and quantization, reward design, RL environments and their harnesses, and small models running on-device or at the edge.</p> 452<p>Much of the best work here sits behind an NDA. If you canât share exact numbers or setup, walk through an open-source equivalent, or explain the architecture and techniques without proprietary specifics. The shape of the work is what weâre after.</p> 453<p>If youâre not sure what to cover, start here:</p> 454<ul> 455<li>What made you fine-tune instead of prompt, and did that decision hold up?</li> 456<li>How did you build the environment and the reward, and what did the model learn to game?</li> 457<li>What did the smaller model cost you in quality, and what did it buy back in latency or spend?</li> 458<li>What does the retraining loop look like now that itâs running?</li> 459<li>What have you built with local or on-device modelsâfrom the Qwen, Gemma, Llama, or other model familiesâfor voice, classification, vision and video, privacy, or another specialized use case? What did you have to build or change around the model to make it work?</li> 460</ul> 461<h2 id="h:session-formats"><a href="#h:session-formats">Session formats</a></h2> 462<ul> 463<li><strong>45 minutes:</strong> talks that include demos.</li> 464<li><strong>30 minutes:</strong> talks without demos.</li> 465<li><strong>15 minutes:</strong> flash talks or quick demo-based talks.</li> 466</ul> 467<p>Please indicate your preferred format in your proposal.</p> 468<h2 id="h:how-to-submit"><a href="#h:how-to-submit">How to submit</a></h2> 469<p><a href="https://hasgeek.com/fifthelephant/hyd-meetup-cfp/sub">Submit your abstract</a> by <strong>31 October 2026</strong>.</p> 470<p>Your abstract should clearly describe:</p> 471<ul> 472<li>The problem or topic being addressed.</li> 473<li>Why it is relevant.</li> 474<li>Who the session is intended for.</li> 475<li>The key takeaways attendees can expect.</li> 476</ul> 477<h2 id="h:about-the-editorial-team"><a href="#h:about-the-editorial-team">About the editorial team</a></h2> 478<p><strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/madhusudhan-sambojhu-b9170022/">Madhusudhan Sambojhu</a></strong> â editorial lead.
