Last month we went through nine ways to work with coding agents. Some of you went home and tried them. Bring what happened — the memory file that changed your week, the prompt that finally worked, the agent that confidently destroyed something. Wins and disasters are equally welcome; the disasters usually teach more. Five minutes each, laptop optional, no slides required.</p> <p>THEN: everything that isn't text. We've spent two meetings on language models. Meanwhile image, video, music, and voice generation have quietly become genuinely good — and a surprising amount of it now runs on the laptop in front of you, with nothing leaving the machine.</p> <p>We'll walk the current landscape honestly: what's actually worth using in October 2026, what got discontinued this year, and where each one still falls apart. Then we'll split the field the way that matters for a working developer — what you call an API for, versus what you can run yourself.</p> <p>And we'll generate something live. On a laptop. Offline.</p> <p>You'll leave knowing which model to reach for per modality, what your own hardware can run, how to set it up, and the three questions that decide hosted-versus-local for any of them.</p> <p>Come curious. Beginners and veterans welcome.</p> <p>SPEAKER Matt Duffield is President & CTO of Summit Software with 30+ years building enterprise software. A published author of six technical books and U.S. Navy veteran, he focuses on AI-assisted development, local LLMs, and cloud-native architecture.</p> <p>EVENT DETAILS Food, drinks, and conversation beginning at 7:00. Show & tell at 7:30. Main talk around 8:00.
