Sage Elliott and John Votta: Reliable, Fault-Tolerant Orchestration for AI Agents (AI meetup in SF)

Last week a few co-workers and I heard Sage Elliott and John Votta speak about Union.aiʻs upcoming Flyte 2.0 at an AI meetup in San Francisco. 

What's happening: The AI meetup was held at the AWS Loft on Market Street, which was a short walk from Paubox HQ.

John is a Product Manager at Union.ai, while Sage is an AI Engineer there. Their talk focused on fault-tolerant orchestration.

Did you say fault-tolerant orchestration?: Indeed. Their presentation on it was split into three segments:

• Automatic caching for intermediate workflow results
•  Versioned deployments for updates
• Comprehensive tracing and high-level observability for failures and logs.

My takeaways: 

• “Agents killed the DAG” (Sage Elliott)
• "1,000 agents is going to replace a person" (Sage quoting Masayoshi Son)
  
  
  

The bottom line: It was my third AI meetup of the year and I look forward to the next one. It's always time to level up.

AI meetups in SF draw crowds

Sage had the jokes and technical expertise, John did the demos. Good teamwork.
