Hands-on model selection, tradeoffs and evals w/ Miki Hardisty and Darshaun Nadeau

Frontier models level up constantly — but not every workload needs the newest, biggest, most expensive one. In production, speed, effort, and cost matter as much as raw capability. Prototyping fast? Reach for Opus or Fable. Shipping something that has to be right every time, at volume, on a budget? Reach for GLM, Kimi, Deepseek? That's a different decision, and it should be made with evidence rather than vibes.
This is a technical workshop about replacing model hype with engineering discipline. We'll run real experiments across models live so you can see how they actually compare — and you'll…
