'Gradient Descending' is a series of roundtables on AI: curated deep dives with technical builders. Past roundtables discussions covered RL Environments, Evals, Fine-Tuning, Agent Frameworks, Open Source Models, and Knowledge Graphs with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, Scale AI and many more. For our second Gradient Descending session in Barcelona, we’re looking at voice AI from two very different sides: building the infrastructure behind it and getting it into the hands of non-technical customers. We’ll be joined by Jaime Farrés, co-founder of Flyboard, and Luke Miller, co-founder of SLNG, to compare what each side is seeing in practice. How do you build the underlying systems to be fast, reliable and affordable? And once the technology works, how do you deploy it for customers who don’t have technical teams, don’t speak in APIs and simply need the product to solve a real problem? We’ll talk about where the infrastructure layer and application layer meet, what each side needs from the other and what tends to get lost between a technically impressive product and something a customer can actually adopt and use every day. Agenda: Arrivals: 18:30–19:00 Roundtable discussion: 19:00–20:00 Drinks at the rooftop: 20:00–21:30 See past roundtables here: https://www.akashbajwa.co/t/ai-roundtables I agree that photographs and/or video may be taken during the event and used by the hosts on social media and in future promotional materials.
