CAIS'26 Keynotes

In case you missed it, we have three very exciting keynote speakers:

Thariq Shihipar (Anthropic) - Member of Technical Staff on Claude Code. His "Lessons from Building Claude Code" series on tool design, prompt caching, and agent coordination is required reading for anyone building agentic systems. He'll be sharing what Anthropic has learned from putting agents into the hands of millions of developers.

Andy Konwinski (Databricks, Perplexity AI, Laude Institute) - Andy co-founded Databricks, co-founded Perplexity AI, and now co-founded and runs the Laude Institute, a $100M effort to fund open-source AI research. Laude's Terminal-Bench reached Anthropic's Claude 4 model card 126 days after inception and has since become a standard benchmark for measuring command-line agent performance.

Percy Liang (Stanford, Together AI, Simile AI) - Founding director of the Center for Research on Foundation Models. Percy's HELM framework set the standard for holistic evaluation of language models, and his Foundation Model Transparency Index put every major AI lab on notice for what they do and don't disclose. His latest project, Marin, is an open lab where every experiment, successful or not, is public from day one.
