Amazon Web Services and The AI Capitol invite you to Hermes AI Agent Night — an evening of live demos, architecture deep dives, and real talk on what it takes to get AI agents into production on AWS. Hermes is one of the most exciting open agent frameworks gaining traction across enterprise teams, startups and developers. This session puts live demos front and center so you can see agents in action, powered by services like Amazon Bedrock, not just on a slide deck. What to expect: 🚀 Demonstrations of Hermes AI agents running real workflows on AWS 🏗️ Walkthrough of the agent architecture on orchestration and deployment 🔧 Hands-on insights into AWS AI tooling that accelerates agent development 💬 Open discussion on production-grade deployment at scale in enterprises Who this is for: Technical founders exploring agent frameworks with cloud-native deployment Product and ops leaders evaluating AI automation to drive efficiency across their teams Developers and engineers building AI agents on AWS Why AWS for AI Agents: AWS provides the most complete stack for building, deploying, and scaling AI agents - Whether you're prototyping or running agents in production, AWS gives you the infrastructure to move fast and scale confidently. 📅 29 Sept, 6pm to 9pm SGT 📍 Amazon Web Services Singapore Capacity is limited. Food and drinks are provided. RSVP to secure your spot.

We're bringing together the founders and core leaders of AI-native companies building in or entering Singapore, and the talent that makes those companies work — from research and engineering to go-to-market and operations. The evening is capped at a size where every conversation can be a real one — lightning talks, fireside conversation, and a long, well-fed networking session. No panels, no pitches, no badge-scanning. Who this is for Attendance is by approval only. We're curating the room for: Founders, CTOs, and Heads of AI/Research at AI-native companies building in or expanding into Singapore ML researchers and senior AI engineers working on frontier models, inference, or agentic products GTM leaders and local operations talent who help AI companies land and scale in Singapore and APAC If that's you, request a spot. If you're not sure, apply anyway and tell us what you're building — we read every request. Agenda 18:00 · Doors open & check-in 18:30 · Lightning talks & fireside chats — GMI Cloud, NVIDIA, and select AI-native founders 19:00 · Curated networking & dinner & drinks 21:00 · Close About AI Companies Meet Talents is a GMI Research Institute series across San Francisco, Singapore, and Tokyo, co-presented with NVIDIA — intentionally small, always curated. GMI Cloud is a Silicon Valley-headquartered GPU infrastructure and inference platform and an NVIDIA Reference Architecture Cloud Partner. Spots are strictly limited. Registrations are reviewed individually, and approved guests receive venue details by email.

Click here to follow AI Singapore's online community on Discord for updates The hard part about AI-generated code is making it reliable. How do you create agents that hold up in production, and produce code you can trust when a machine wrote it? We'll look at it from two fronts: Harness engineering — the scaffolding that turns a model into an agent. Only one layer of an AI agent is the model; the rest is the harness — orchestration, memory, tool design, evaluation, retries, observability. The scaffolding that turns a capable model into a dependable autonomous agent + a look at DeepSeek's Open-Source AI Agent Framework AI code review & CI automation. Code review has become the bottleneck — reviewing pull requests with full-codebase context, rooting out CI failures, and committing real fixes, including catching the issues AI-generated code introduces. Speakers from Sonar and AI Singapore Terence Kong, AI Engineer and AIxTech Curriculum Lead at AI Singapore Hector Tan, AI Engineer and AIxTech Community Lead at AI Singapore Gautam Korlam, Principal Engineer at Sonar, a global leader in AI code verification and governance. Gautam joined Sonar through the 2026 acquisition of Gitar, the AI-native code review solution that he co-founded. He previously helped build Uber's centralised developer platform, working on the monorepo, building infrastructure, and CI systems that underpin software delivery at scale. At Sonar, Gautam is helping shape the next generation of AI-powered code review and verification for engineering teams operating at scale. This is an in-person event. Please note: AIxTech learners are given priority to seats, These folks paid for the programme and these meetups are part of it — and that applies to every meetup under AIxTech, not just this one.
