Inside the AI stack: Vercel agents & GPU optimisation
This edition of Future Form explores two parts of the modern AI stack. Vercel’s agent infrastructure, including the new Sandbox and what’s on the roadmap. And how to optimise code to run more efficiently on custom CUDA kernels.
**Luke Philips-Sheard**, **Engineering Manager,** **Vercel**
Luke will break down Vercel’s new Sandbox and how it enables secure, isolated environments for running AI workloads and agent-driven tasks. Drawing on experience in finance and high-growth environments, he’ll explore how sandboxing helps manage untrusted code, contain risk, and safely run agents against real systems.
**Jack Foxabbott, Founding Member of Technical Staff, Stealth Startup**
Jack will dive into Neural Kernel Search and the evolution of custom CUDA for non-standard architectures. A practical look at how low-level optimisation unlocks performance gains that frameworks alone can’t deliver.
If you’re building AI systems that need to run fast, reliably, and at scale, this one’s for you.
**Bonus:** pizza, drinks, and practical peer-to-peer AI insights.

Has Multiculturalism Succeeded In the UK? - Whitechapel Debates
**This House Believes That UK Multiculturalism is Succeeding**
**Why Are We Having This Debate?**
Immigration, multiculturalism, what does it mean to be British?
Questions that seem to be at the heart of almost every political debate today. Increasingly loud, angry and as if we are doomed to failure.
The UK has been at the heart of this debate, world leaders globally have looked to us as examples of the perceived good and bad of a growing multicultural society
So we ask, in the wake of a growing trend to dismiss British efforts to adopt and adapt to a multicultured Uk. Have we actually made a success of it?
**Articles**

**Come Along and Have Your Vote!**
**What We Do**
3v3 panel debate where our members explore the strongest arguments for a given topic.
A debate should tell the audience what they need to know and not just what the speakers think. If you feel the same way, then we want to meet you.
Debate London is the year-round series of free public debates held weekly at venues across the capital.
The series is run by Debate London, a social enterprise that helps its members to advance their personal and professional development by teaching them how to debate.
All of our speakers are [Debate London members](https://www.debate.london/plans "https://www.debate.london/plans") who have agreed to defend a particular perspective the audience need to hear, rather than just share their own personal opinion. After presenting the point of view assigned to them, the audience are then given the floor to cross-examine them and share their own position.
The only time we hear what the speakers really think is at the end of the debate when they tell us where they really stand and whether this changed at all while learning how to defend the perspective assigned to them.
**After Debate Social**
After all of our debates we have a post debate hang-out. This is a chance for our community to get to know new people, explore new ideas and generally have more fun as a club! Come along and join us for a post-debate social!
**Venue**
Our venues serve drinks (alcoholic and soft drinks) as well as brilliant food. All can be ordered from the bar
**Do not bring external food or drink into our venues you will be asked to throw it away or to finish it outside. - This is a venue rule which we need to follow.**

Ultimate Frisbee in *HAGGERSTON Park* on Saturday afternoons
Ultimate Frisbee Pickup! All experience welcome!
Main details:
• For first-timers: you're very welcome, no experience necessary, we can teach you the rules and how to play. You just need a willingness to run around a LOT! Bring trainers (or cleats/football boots) and clothes you can run in and plenty of water
• Please try to bring both a light top and a dark top as this makes splitting into balanced teams easier
• Throwing from 2:00pm ish, we'll kick off a friendly pick-up game around 2:15. It's fine if you can only make it later on - we play with substitutes so you can join in at any point. If no one is there when you arrive, don't worry, people are probably just late! If the meetup is not cancelled, frisbee will be happening!
• Afterwards we always head to a pub garden and have a drink or two :)
• Frisbee is a non-contact sport, but the occasional bumps can happen, we're all playing at our own risk
Indoor Ultimate Frisbee at *All Saints Catholic High School* on *Thursday*
***Make sure you understand how payment works before signing up (details below)!***

We'll be playing 2 hours of super casual 5v5 pick-up games. As always, all skill levels/experience are welcome! We're happy to teach if you're happy to learn. You just have to be ready to run around a lot :)

Signup will open to the week before each session (at 20:30 when the previous session ends!) - there will be a waitlist if we reach capacity, just sign up and meetup will automatically move you to "going" when someone drops out.

March Book Club Meetup
Welcome, readers!
Our March read is **_The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver._**
The story follows Taylor Greer, a young woman from rural Kentucky who leaves home for the West, only to find herself unexpectedly becoming the guardian of an abused Native American toddler named Turtle. In Tucson, Arizona, they form a makeshift family with a diverse group of people, including Guatemalan refugees and a single mother, exploring themes of motherhood, community, belonging, and finding hope in hardship. The story blends humor with serious issues, creating a story about finding family in unexpected places.
Looking forward to discussing with everyone!
We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.**
Happy reading! 📖

BuckeyeCocoa is a group of Objective-C/Swift developers/enthusiasts. We host monthly Cocoaheads and near-weekly NSCoder meetings in Columbus, Ohio. The meetings are free to attend.
Presentations!
Presenters welcome! We are always in need of people willing to present material. Any Swift and/or Objective-C related topic is welcome. Times can be 5 minutes (i.e. lightning talks) to a maximum of 2 hours. Interested? Contact info is on the BuckeyeCocoa website.
