GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
As foundation model capabilities converge, founders face new pressure to differentiate on business model and security rather than raw model performance. Hearing directly from the applied teams inside Anthropic and OpenAI offers rare insight into what actually works once AI moves from pilot projects to production at scale.
- Anthropic's Cat de Jong will discuss real-world enterprise Claude deployments and adoption patterns
- OpenAI's Head of Productivity will join a session on building AI-native companies
- Event runs October 13-15, 2026 in San Francisco, with early-bird ticket pricing ending soon
