SUMMARY:Builder After Hours with MongoDB\, Mastra\, and Tavily
DESCRIPTION:Close out the week at Builder After Hours: an evening for developers\, technical founders\, and AI builders to eat\, drink\, learn\, and build. \n\n\n\n​We’re kicking things off with a technical panel on Context Engineering for Long-horizon AI Agents\, featuring engineers from MongoDB\, Voyage AI\, Tavily\, and Mastra. They’ll dig into the real challenges of building agents that stay reliable across long\, multi-step workflows\, from retrieval and memory to production-ready infrastructure. \n\n\n\n​After the panel\, stick around for co-working\, happy hour\, and direct access to technical experts who can help you move your next project forward before heading into the weekend. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n​🍴 5:00–5:45 PM: Grab a bite\, meet other builders\, and settle in for the evening \n\n\n\n​🎤 5:45–6:30 PM: Hear from experts at MongoDB\, Voyage AI\, Tavily\, and Mastra on what it takes to build modern AI applications \n\n\n\n​💻 6:30–8:30 PM: Keep building in a private cafe\, get feedback from technical experts\, and connect with other developers before you break for the weekend \n\n\n\nTavily is the real‑time search engine for AI agents and RAG workflows; fast and secure APIs for web search and content extraction. \n\n\n\nMastra is the open-source TypeScript framework and enterprise platform for building production-ready AI agents\, giving developers the tools to ship reliable agentic applications with built-in memory\, evals\, and observability.

SUMMARY:Bay Area Frontier Research Club #12 | (dinner + paper discussion)
DESCRIPTION:w/ Tailscale\, Aikido Security\, Docker\, Inngest & Rootly AI \n\n\n\nThe Bay Area Frontier Research Club is a curated forum for rigorous discussion on how AI is reshaping the scientific research process. We convene experimental researchers\, computational scientists\, and research engineers across domains to examine concrete work—papers\, methods\, and workflows—covering literature synthesis\, hypothesis generation\, experimental design\, simulation\, analysis\, and reproducibility. \n\n\n\n​For each session\, we curate 2–3 papers selected for rigor and discussion value. Presentations are intentionally brief so the majority of time is reserved for questions and critique: assumptions\, evaluation methodology\, failure modes\, and what would constitute convincing evidence. Papers and supporting materials are shared in advance to ensure a high-baseline conversation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n​🕒 Agenda\n\n\n\n​5:30pm: Doors open5:30pm – 6:30pm: Networking + snacks6:30pm – 8:00pm: Research presentations + discussion8:00pm – 8:30pm: Networking \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n​🎙️ Presenters & topics\n\n\n\n​Talk #1: TO BE ANNOUNCED \n\n\n\n​Talk #2: TO BE ANNOUNCED \n\n\n\n​Talk #3: TO BE ANNOUNCED \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n​📝 Want to present your work?\n\n\n\n​If you have a research paper you’d like to discuss with a cross-disciplinary room\, submit it for consideration.\n\n\n\n​SUBMIT YOUR PAPER HERE.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n​👥 Who should attend\n\n\n\n\n​Experimental researchers\n\n\n\n​Computational scientists across domains (bio/chem/materials/climate/neuro/physics)\n\n\n\n​Research engineers + lab automation people\n\n\n\n​Those building tools for literature review\, experiment planning\, robotics\, simulation\, or scientific data\n\n\n\n\n​If you’ve ever wished research moved faster\, you belong here. \n\n\n\n​Capacity is limited. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n​We will take photos and short video clips for event recap and promotion.

Across the Bay Area\, we host a recurring series of research forums\, builder nights\, and intimate investor dinners — and back exceptional companies emerging from the labs\, communities\, and technical networks we convene.Hexo Labs is a neolab for recursive self-improving AI. Their open-source SIA framework is the first to update both the harness AND the model weights of a task-specific agent in the same self-improvement loop — clearing state-of-the-art results across multiple domain benchmarks. Hexo backs the broader research community through grants and direct collaboration on hard problems in science and engineering. \n\n\n\n​Metais one of the world’s most active frontier AI organizations\, with research and engineering spanning foundation models\, generative AI\, agent systems\, and the open-source frameworks (Llama\, PyTorch) that power much of the broader research community.
