Last Thursday, we hosted #BuiltToDeploy in New York — a breakfast bringing together forward-deployed engineers, technical leads, and operators working at the edge of one of the hardest problems in AI: getting it to actually work in the real world. The conversation was refreshingly candid, focusing on the reality of deploying AI into complex physical systems: where trust breaks down, why deployments stall, how engineering roles are changing, and what it takes to build products for users who immediately know when something doesn’t make sense. A big thank you to our panelists — Sam Hiscox (Field CTO, PhysicsX), Anthony Mainero (Software Engineer, Nominal), and Davìd Markey (Air Dominance & Strike, Anduril Industries) — for the honesty, technical depth, and practical perspective they brought to the discussion. And thank you to everyone who joined us and pushed the conversation further. The quality of the room made the morning what it was. #BuiltToDeploy is coming to London next. More soon.
A panel with Anthony Mainero is always a fun one! 🤠
