Shaun Smith & Demetrios Brinkmann ¡ Jul 14th, 2026
Shaun Smith is a software engineer, open source advocate, and MCP server maintainer at Hugging Face â creator of Fast Agent, the first agent framework built from the ground up around the Model Context Protocol.
In this conversation from the MCP Dev Summit in New York, Shaun and Demetrios dig into why powerful models are "liquifying" open source libraries, how MCP Apps are reshaping AI interfaces, and what it means when the distribution of ideas matters more than the distribution of code.

This post compares the leading model serving runtimes for deploying production ML APIs, including TensorFlow Serving, TorchServe, BentoML, and NVIDIA Triton Inference Server. It breaks down the strengths, trade-offs, and key selection criteriaâsuch as framework support, inference performance, infrastructure integration, and ease of useâto help teams choose the best runtime for their machine learning workloads.

Ben Morss, Alex Salkever & Demetrios Brinkmann ¡ Jul 10th, 2026
Ben Morss is a Developer Advocate at DeepL â the German AI translation company â and over roughly ten days, he took Model Context Protocol on the road: 10 cities, 10 talks, 4 countries (US, Canada, France, Germany). Along the way, he went from "I didn't know what MCP was at all" to teaching packed rooms how to build a server from scratch. In this conversation with host Alex Saltkever at the MCP Dev Summit North America, he shares the one lesson that kept surprising everyone.

Cornelia Davis & Demetrios Brinkmann ¡ Jul 7th, 2026
Cornelia Davis has spent three decades watching programming abstractions climb â from assembly to C to Java to the cloud. Now at Temporal (and author of the influential book Cloud Native Patterns), she argues that natural language is the most radical abstraction jump yet: the first one that isn't deterministic. Recorded at the MCP Dev Summit in New York, this conversation covers how durable execution becomes the safety net underneath probabilistic AI systems.

Denny Lee & Demetrios Brinkmann ¡ Jul 3rd, 2026
Denny Lee is PM Director, Startups & Ecosystem at Databricks, a longtime Apache Spark, MLflow, and Delta Lake contributor â and one of the people behind Omnigent, the open-source meta-harness Databricks just released under Apache 2.0. He joins Demetrios to explain why the industry is moving from models to harnesses to meta-harnesses, why token spend is replaying the CapEx-to-OpEx shift all over again, and why he's using debating AI agents to plan a matcha farm in Taiwan.

AI agents are only as good as the information they can find, retrieve, and remember.
In this community roundtable with the Qdrant team, we explored the latest advances in agentic memory, vector search, retrieval systems, and production AI architectures.
As AI agents move beyond simple chatbots into systems that can reason across large amounts of information, retrieval is becoming one of the most important layers in the AI stack. The discussion covered the real-world challenges of building agents that remember what matters, forget what doesn't, and consistently retrieve the right context at the right time.
If you're building AI agents, RAG systems, or production AI applications, this conversation offers practical insights into where retrieval is headed and what it takes to build reliable, scalable agentic systems.

Kingsley Madikaegbu, Alex Salkever & Demetrios Brinkmann ¡ Jun 30th, 2026
Kingsley Madikaegbu is the founder of HealID, a startup building agentic AI on top of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for one of the most heavily regulated environments there is: healthcare.
Recorded at MCP Dev Summit North America in New York, Kingsley sits down with Alex Salkever of the Agentic AI Foundation to break down how you give patients, doctors, caregivers, and family members each their own agent over the same medical record â without breaching HIPAA, leaking PHI, or letting an agent quietly go off the rails.

This article captures a personal shift in the engineering and founder mindset, charting the transition from writing code line-by-line to orchestrating a specialized "Council of Agents." Drawing from recent hackathon experiences and real-world deployment at ApertureData, it explores how accessible, multimodal tools allow builders to spin up sophisticated systems in hours rather than months. Ultimately, the piece argues that AI doesn't let leaders "tune out" the technical realities or enter an automated hands-off mode. Instead, it elevates the human developerâs role to focus on deep architectural intent, system integration, and production readiness, making agents the next logical evolution in engineering leverage.

Jay Hack & Demetrios Brinkmann ¡ Jun 26th, 2026
Jay Hack is the Head of AI at ClickUp and the founder of Codegen, the autonomous coding-agent startup ClickUp acquired in late 2025. He built one of the first ticket-to-pull-request background agents in enterprise software â before Claude Code existed â and has been working in AI since the SIFT-and-SVM days of 2008. In this freewheeling conversation with Demetrios, he makes the case that coding agents and general knowledge-work agents are converging fast, and that the real battle ahead is over context, not capability.
