I’ll speak at the online AI Practitioners Summit on October 23. My session, Cut Token Usage by 90%: Rethinking How We Use AI, draws on the choices we have made while building SkillSaige: where a language model is useful, where conventional software gives us more control, and how the rest of the system shapes cost and reliability.

The summit runs October 19–23, and free registration is open. The organizer lists my session in the Friday program; check the event page for the time in your location.
