Key points
- Event scheduled for Wednesday 14th October in San Francisco, hosted by Simon Willison and Jesse Vincent
- Focus on informal show‑and‑tell of coding‑agent experiments, no product pitches required
- Participants encouraged to share unpublished, odd or unfinished agentic AI work
Willison listed recent AI articles as context, including Claude Opus 5.5, GPT‑6 Sol, GPT‑6 Luna, a new price war, Jev’s System One (Decision Models) from 21st September 2026, and a piece on generating running routes with GPT‑6 Astra and ChatGPT Work from 12th September 2026. The event is positioned as a chance to celebrate the weirdness of agentic AI and to learn from unfinished projects that lack an obvious market.
