What actually shipped this quarter.
Q3 panel
The hype cycle moved again. This session cuts through it: a live look at what teams put into production over the last quarter, what broke, and what is finally holding up under real load.
Our panel of engineers and operators compares notes in the open, then opens the floor. Bring the questions you cannot get answered on a vendor webinar.

03How It Runs
A conversation, not a keynote.
01Who's on the panel
Practitioners, not pundits.
Engineers and leaders deploying AI inside real products. People with scars and shipping logs, not just opinions.
02How it opens
One quarter, no slides.
The host frames what actually moved this quarter. The panel reacts in real time. No decks, no demos, no vendor pitch.
03What you bring
Your questions, live.
Half the session is open Q&A. Drop a question in the stream and the panel takes it on the spot.
04What you keep
A recording, every time.
Every session is recorded and posted to YouTube within days. Miss it live and you can still catch the whole conversation.
04The Host
We ship AI that survives the real world.
This Dot Labs is the engineering partner behind production AI inside some of the largest companies in the world. We do the unglamorous part: the integration, the eval harness, the rollout, the second Tuesday.
State of AI is the conversation we wish existed when the hype got loud. Every quarter we bring practitioners to the same table to compare notes in the open, then publish the whole thing so the rest of the field can learn from it too.
