About This Event

As AI coding agents become more capable, who controls the future of software development?

Join Renee Huang, CEO of Cline, and Sunil Joseph, VP of Customer Success at OpenRouter, for a thought-provoking conversation on open vs. closed ecosystems, model choice, developer autonomy, and where real differentiation lies as AI reshapes the way we build software.

We'll explore:

  • Open vs. closed ecosystems: Who wins, and why?

  • Model choice: Why it matters for developers

  • Developer autonomy: How it's evolving in the age of AI coding agents

  • Competitive advantage: Where real differentiation will come from

Expect fresh perspectives, thoughtful debate, and a room full of founders, engineers, researchers, and technical leaders shaping the next generation of AI products.
