§ 01 / call for proposals
Speak at LatentShift.
Bring a real story from AI in production.
We're looking for talks from builders who have built, trained, fine-tuned, evaluated, deployed, debugged, scaled, or maintained AI systems in production. Tell us what problem you ran into, what signals helped you understand it, what trade-offs you made, and what finally worked.

A deep dive into a real AI system you built and shipped: architecture, evals, failure modes, cost trade-offs, and what you learned in production.

+real numbers (latency, $/req, regression rate)
+at least one failure story you can name

One sharp idea, one strong takeaway. It could be a method, a tool, a debugging story, a benchmark, a lesson.
