@TejasKumar_ @aiDotEngineer You were incredibleee

ok im just gonna say it. @aiDotEngineer singapore is easily the best ai conference ive ever been to and also the best one in its series i say this mainly because it aligns with what i value in a conference: - single track - very “family style”: i randomly became an impromptu mc to help out for example - it’s run by a community that is very close knit and the organizers actually know and love each other and it’s very visible - they sponsor students/nextgen they really do a great job of creating a legitimate community environment where learning can happen while still being for-profit and delivering value on all fronts: to attendees and to sponsors alike. they also have curated the talks quite well. genuinely, my utmost respect and appreciation to @agrimsingh, @SherryYanJiang, @adlinzainal, @ivanleomk, @unprofeshme, kaspar and all involved in the team and in the project. hats off!! it especially special that @agrimsingh grew up in this community and has been an active part of it for so long, being deeply integrated into its lifeblood. this is i think also why it’s so intimate and friendly while also delivering intense value. ultimately what i value in conferences is mood/atmosphere and that here was “we’re a community who love what we do and everyone in it”. very much “we are builders” and “you can just do things”. so many big swings. this is the also the opposite of conferences i dont resonate with that are large multitrack expos with 25000 attendees and 13 concurrent tracks where its overstructured, overproduced, overmanaged, oversold to sponsors, and overcapitalized where it feels a bit like people/communities aren’t the focus anymore but instead it’s something else. profit, clout, etc. being able to be a part of the first ever aie singapore is truly one for the history books and one i shall never forget. v thankful to all for the experience.

we took a lot of big swings and proved singapore has big👏builder👏energy👏 thank you. @agrimsingh @SherryYanJiang @NehallAgrawal @adlinzainal @ivanleomk @aimuggle @brianchew @yongquanYQ @darenstwt @aiDotEngineer @swyx

🇸🇬

It’s been a wild ride covering AIE and #RoadToAIE with @unprofeshme started by randomly offering to help with videos/media. a few weeks later and we’re helping host a 1,000+ person AI conference, meeting some of the smartest people in tech, and realizing this is about way more than just creating FOMO online. couldn’t have done this without the trust that the team at @65labslah placed in me to help put the face of @aiDotEngineer Singapore out there online❤️ @unprofeshme best fellow media IC anyone could’ve asked for

aie sg 🇸🇬 is over, and it has been such a crazy experience organising it the past few weeks!!! huge shoutout to all the old and new friends made while planning, running, and definitely stressing these past few days, CANT WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR 👀👀 @adlinzainal @brianchew @agrimsingh @SherryYanJiang @unprofeshme @aimuggle @yongquanYQ @NehallAgrawal and SO MANY MORE volunteers!!!! what an insane insane experience

Just an inspiring closing @aiDotEngineer Singapore talk from @agrimsingh of 65labs.org . @SherryYanJiang and the entire team hats off. Community leading at its finest!

Thank you is an understatement @aiDotEngineer SG.

🛑[LIVE] on day 3 of @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬 @Calclavia from @SmitheryDotAI on the ups and downs of MCP vs CLI and what’s to come next in emerging agent orchestration. “That’s how we got humans to be on the loop instead of in the loop”

🛑[LIVE] on day 3 of @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬 @hrishioa from Southbridge AI on building reliable, accountable agentic systems that integrate into the middle of the stack instead of the tip. “reliability comes from building surfaces where knowledge can accumulate”

🛑[LIVE] on day 3 of @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬 @khurdula, co-founder and CTO of @interfaze_ai on building alternative architecture designed for deterministic developer tasks. “The solution is: Task specific DNNs + CNNs + Transformers”

🛑[LIVE] on day 3 of @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬 @tokengobbler from Vibe Kanban on how (not) to set yourself up to plan and review an obscene amount of AI generated code. “Spend 5 min planning to save yourself 30 min of reviewing”

🛑[LIVE] on day 3 of @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬 @HengHongLee from @lightsprintai on three cores of any team’s cloud agents. Plan Mode, Preview Environments and Collaborative Task Orchestration. + lessons from building an AI native startup at YC

🛑[LIVE] on day 3 of @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬 @contextconor from @hyperspell on building a Company Brain🧠 (a living map of how a business works that turns its artifacts into context any agent can use) “Agents fail in enterprises because they mistake “available information” for “ground truth.””

🛑[LIVE] on day 3 of @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬 @pritopian, founder of @world_lica on measure design tasks through structured, empirical benchmarks. “No matter what the LinkedIn or X hype is, models are really bad at layout planning and iterative creation rn”

🛑[LIVE] on day 3 of @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬 @theesabina from @MagicPathAI on where the tooling landscape stands today and what everybody can do to stay sharp no matter what’s in their design toolkit. “I think engineers gotta design more, writing good code requires some sort of finessing”

🛑[LIVE] on day 3 of @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬 @alexlee_ from @magicpatterns on creating higher fidelity prototypes through production components, design tokens, and shared patterns. “As agents evolve, so will our workflows - but what we haven’t been able to match is craft.”

🛑[LIVE] on day 3 of @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬 Jay Demetillo from @canva on where AI consistently falls short: the interaction decisions, the local context, the innovation that doesn't exist in any training data yet. “If anyone is in trouble, it's design leaders who don't empower or give a safe space to their designers to learn and grow”

🛑[LIVE] on day 3 of @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬 Awakin With Kez sharing a decompression meditation exercise for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the pace of everything ❤️‍🩹

🛑[LIVE] on day 3 of @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬 @SuveenE from @cortexairobot on building across data collection, teleoperation, software, hardware and models. “Ability to move across the stack matters because the issue you see in one layer may need to be solved in another”

🛑[LIVE] on day 3 of @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬 @_juliakeem from @OpenGraph_Labs on sensorizing humans and letting robots learn from humans the same way we did as kids. “Egocentric robots already capture vision, motion, proprioception, and audio- the missing piece is touch”
