That question sparked some incredible discussions at a recent event in San Francisco, where experts dove deep into the architecture, debugging, and deployment of intelligent AI agents. From redefining workflows to exploring cutting-edge inference speeds with Groq, the evening was packed with insights that resonate deeply with todayโ€™s AI market demands.

Cheers to the speakers at this event. Great job all ๐Ÿ™Œ tagged in pictures.
