#39 - Model Optimization & CPU Based Inferencing

💡 Self-Improving Agents: From Prompt Engineering to Hyperagents As foundation models become increasingly commoditized, much of an AI system’s performance depends on the surrounding agent harness: its prompts, tools, memory, retrieval, workflows, and control logic. At this Proxify Talks session, Lele Cao - Senior Principal AI/ML Researcher at King (a part of Microsoft) will trace how optimization has evolved from prompt engineering to agents that can improve not only their own harnesses, but also the improvement process itself. Lele will introduce recent ideas such as meta-harnesses and hyperagents and discuss why open-ended search and transferable self-improvement matter. Join us and learn: ⚡ Why the agent harness matters as much as the foundation model ⚡ How AI systems can improve their own harnesses - and the improvement process itself ⚡ What meta-harnesses and hyperagents mean for the future of AI ⚡ Real-world examples from paper review and game playtesting If you work with AI, ML, research, or engineering, or simply want to understand where AI systems are heading next, this session is for you.

Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ALS are some of the hardest diseases in medicine to treat, mainly because the brain is one of the hardest places in the body to reach with a drug. Almost every antibody is stopped at the blood-brain barrier. So how do you get a treatment in at all? BioArctic found a way. They're the Swedish biotech company behind one of the world's first drugs proven to slow Alzheimer's rather than just ease the symptoms. They've also built a technology called BrainTransporter that carries antibodies past the barrier. Two of their researchers, Susanne Fabre and Ken Honek, are coming to KTH to show us how it works. They'll also cover what goes wrong in the brain in the first place. We end the evening on the other side of the problem, what you can do to lower your risk of developing dementia. Free poké bowls provided by BioArctic. Limited spots, so grab your ticket.

Functional Software is proud to be part of GitHub Dev Days! This event will focus on building with the Copilot app. It has come a long way since it's inception as a Visual Studio Code plug-in—the Copilot app is a powerful agent harness that handles long-running coding tasks, pull requests, automations and more. We will open with a demo of the Copilot app to show off its capabilities and then proceed with a hands-on workshop / hackathon where we use Copilot to build cool stuff. Preparation To prepare for the event, please Install the Copilot app Sign up for a Copilot subscription—note that the workshop can be completed on the Free plan Food & drinks We will be serving some light food and drinks at the event. If you have any special food requirements or allergies, please let us know at least 48 hours in advance! Agenda 17:00: Doors open — snacks and drinks will be available 18:00: Introduction to the Copilot app 18:30: Hackathon / Workshop 20:00: Closing time ✨ Dev Days is a global, in-person community-led initiative taking place from September 1st - October 31st, 2026. The series brings together developers, enthusiasts, and local tech communities to explore the power of GitHub Copilot through practical, hands-on experiences. Code of Conduct We are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all participants.
