WANTED_TOPICS
Topics the community keeps asking for. Got real experience with one of these? That pitch goes to the top of the pile.
Real agent deployments: the harness around the model, the failure modes nobody blogs about, and what it took to make them reliable. War stories over demos.
Pitch this topicHow you measure LLM quality before your users do. Eval suites, LLM-as-judge pitfalls, and regression gates that actually block a bad release.
Pitch this topicRetrieval quality at scale: chunking, reranking, hybrid search, and what happens when the corpus is messy real-world data instead of a clean benchmark.
Pitch this topicServing LLMs without burning the budget: caching, batching, quantization, model routing, and how the bill changes as usage grows.
Pitch this topicAttacking and defending LLM apps: injection, data exfiltration through tools, and guardrails that hold up outside the slide deck.
Pitch this topicWhen a small fine-tuned model beats an API call: distillation, on-device inference, and picking the tasks where owning the weights pays off.
Pitch this topicWHAT_WE_LOOK_FOR
Real production lessons over product pitches. Tell us the topic, what the audience walks away with, and the format — a 20–30 minute talk, a lightning talk, a workshop, or a panel. We review every pitch and reply through the portal.
