Topic: Don't Just Swap the Model: Tackling AI Model Upgrades

Description:
Using an AI model in your application, upgrade already due on it? Models come up every month or year

We will share how to approach the upgrade, it might sound like bumping up any other library - but there are things to consider before and during the upgrading.

Talk 2 - Kiran Hegde
Topic: What Happens When the Agent Becomes the Buyer?

Description:
Digital shopping is shifting from browser tabs and "Add to Cart" buttons to autonomous software delegation. This talk explores what happens when AI agents become the buyers, walking through the end-to-end mechanics of machine-led commerce. From the evolution of retail and the shift toward Agent Engine Optimization (AEO) to emerging open protocols like UCP, ACP, and MPP, we’ll examine how machines discover, negotiate, and settle transactions. Finally, the session dives into critical trust architectures - including scoped payment mandates, wallet limits, and Know Your Agent (KYA) verification - offering a practical guide to the future of digital buying.
