It's coming anyway, and it'll be better, cheaper and on every provider within a quarter. Frontier capability used to be the moat. It's now a commodity you rent by the token.\nSo the difference moved. It's no longer who has the smartest model. It's who has the best harness: the loop, the tools, the memory, the retries, everything that turns a model into something that finishes the job.\nWithout it, a four-hour task forgets step two, restarts from zero, and quietly burns a weekend of tokens in a retry loop. 😱\nThat's not a prompt problem. It's state, recovery, routing and cost control. Most teams are still hand-rolling their harness, or skipping it entirely and blaming the model.\nThe model is a commodity. The harness is the product. So what actually holds up once agents meet production? This breakfast is our attempt to find out.\n🎙️ Opening panel: Agents after the demo\nAnthony Diaz, Orq.ai\n\nLuuk Hofman, Cloudflare\n\nJoep Gommers, Polymodal\n\nHosted by Michael van Lier, Builders\nNo agent 101. No vendor pitches. Bring the bill that surprised you.\n🧠 Then, into the roundtables\nAfter the panel we split into three tables, three topics, two rounds. Small groups of 10 to 15. Pick the two conversations you care about most.\n🧩 Agent state. Where does memory live between steps, and what happens when a long-running task fails halfway? How do you resume without starting from scratch?\n💸 What an agent actually costs. Everyone knows the price per million tokens. Almost nobody knows the cost of one completed workflow. Routing, caching, retries and the loop that ate a weekend.\n🚀 Pilot to production. Not trust and ethics, but the actual go-live gates. Who signed off, what you had to log, what you capped, what you could roll back.\nThree tables. Two rounds. No slides.\nWhat to expect\nBreakfast. Coffee. Honest numbers. A room of 30 to 45 CTOs and senior builders comparing what their agents cost, where they break and what had to be true before they went live.\nWhy it matters\nGetting an agent to work once is easy now. Getting it to work every time, at a cost you can explain to your CFO, is where the real engineering sits. This morning is about sharing what that actually takes.\nHosted in partnership with Cloudflare and Curiosity VC.","2026-10-28T07:30:00.000Z","2026-10-28T10:30:00.000Z","Europe\u002FAmsterdam","in-person",{"name":16,"address":17,"city":18,"lat":19,"lng":20},"Curiosity Venture Capital","Curiosity Venture Capital, Eerste Kostverlorenkade 4, 1052 EL Amsterdam, Netherlands","Amsterdam",52.379675399999996,4.874079099999999,{"name":22,"slug":23,"url":24},"CTO Network","cto-network","https:\u002F\u002Fluma.com\u002Fcto-network","https:\u002F\u002Fimages.lumacdn.com\u002Fuploads\u002Fxr\u002F4c9929be-7a32-45d5-b59a-1ee4926fc8f6.jpg",true,"amsterdam",[29,30],"eng-leadership","ai-agents",11.2,false,"scheduled","2026-10-26T14:36:44.136Z","2026-10-28T04:23:40.138Z",[37,57,75],{"id":38,"slug":39,"source":7,"url":40,"title":41,"startsAt":42,"endsAt":43,"timezone":13,"mode":14,"venue":44,"organizer":49,"image":53,"isFree":32,"topics":54,"featured":32,"status":33},"luma:evt-ZEuw3CNapK5zEuN","hands-on-masterclass-ai-augmented-hr-2026-11-02","https:\u002F\u002Fluma.com\u002Fgxhjmfts","Hands-on Masterclass: AI Augmented HR","2026-11-02T12:30:00.000Z","2026-11-02T16:00:00.000Z",{"name":45,"address":46,"city":18,"lat":47,"lng":48},"Element Amsterdam","Element Amsterdam, Arent Janszoon Ernststraat 577, 1082 LV Amsterdam, Netherlands",52.3316679,4.8775461,{"name":50,"slug":51,"url":52},"Hareesh Tibrewala","hareesh-tibrewala",null,"https:\u002F\u002Fimages.lumacdn.com\u002Fuploads\u002Fia\u002F4c26b215-993e-4526-be64-38ec91a93d23.png",[55,30,56],"llms-genai","hackathons",{"id":58,"slug":59,"source":7,"url":60,"title":61,"startsAt":62,"endsAt":63,"timezone":13,"mode":14,"venue":64,"organizer":69,"image":73,"isFree":26,"topics":74,"featured":32,"status":33},"luma:evt-BHiSfHqeRrRZ7tJ","the-new-frontier-human-centric-ai-in-the-future-of-finan-2026-11-03","https:\u002F\u002Fluma.com\u002Fk4uoeopk","The New Frontier: Human-Centric AI in the Future of Finance and Payments","2026-11-03T08:30:00.000Z","2026-11-03T16:30:00.000Z",{"name":65,"address":66,"city":18,"lat":67,"lng":68},"AI House","AI House, Gustav Mahlerplein 5, 1082 MS Amsterdam, Netherlands",52.3365383,4.873943199999999,{"name":70,"slug":71,"url":72},"AI House Amsterdam Events","ai-house-amsterdam-events","https:\u002F\u002Fluma.com\u002FAIHouseAmsterdam","https:\u002F\u002Fimages.lumacdn.com\u002Fuploads\u002Fup\u002Fba9590e7-2f2f-4e2b-854e-36f082aa6a43.png",[30,55],{"id":76,"slug":77,"source":78,"url":79,"title":80,"startsAt":81,"endsAt":52,"timezone":13,"mode":14,"venue":82,"organizer":85,"image":52,"isFree":52,"topics":89,"featured":32,"status":33},"meetup:317074817","looker-ai-masterclass-2026-2026-11-06","meetup","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.meetup.com\u002Flooker-netherlands\u002Fevents\u002F317074817\u002F","Looker AI Masterclass 2026","2026-11-06T08:00:00.000Z",{"name":83,"address":84,"city":18,"lat":52,"lng":52},"Google Amsterdam","Claude Debussylaan 34, 8th Floor, 1082 MD Amsterdam, Netherlands, Amsterdam, NH",{"name":86,"slug":87,"url":88},"Looker Netherlands","looker-netherlands","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.meetup.com\u002Flooker-netherlands\u002F",[55,30,56],1793369503189]
