About this event

Join us at our San Francisco workspace to dissect the nuances of GPT-5, moving beyond basic prompting into the realm of advanced production architecture. We are gathering engineers and builders to share raw war stories from the front lines of large-scale model deployments. You will trade specific techniques for refining model evals and stabilizing output consistency in live applications. Bring your laptop to participate in these collaborative deep dives as we troubleshoot real-world prompting hurdles together. This is a space for hands-on experimentation, where we turn complex model behaviors into reliable system workflows. Connect with local peers who are actively navigating the shift toward sophisticated, high-stakes GPT-5 implementations.
