The AI model landscape is changing rapidly, with new frontier and open-source models launching constantly. This meetup brings the conversation back to the models themselves.
We’ll explore how leading models compare, where they perform best, the trade-offs between capability, cost, speed, and flexibility, and how engineers and teams should choose the right model for their use case.
