We are thrilled to welcome you to our 10th edition of the AI Native Netherlands, hosted in the Adyen headquarters, Amsterdam!
This is a joint meetup between Adyen Developer Events and Meetups and AI Native Netherlands meetup groups.
At the end of the evening, we're adding another Q&A panel. After the talks, you can submit questions online about what was just presented. The speakers will answer them live.
Adyen loves supporting the Dutch AI engineering community.

We’ll cover:

• Multi-layer evaluators and human-in-the-loop safeguards for production LLM systems
• Failure modes and silent quality degradation in agentic pipelines
• Quality engineering and monitoring for production LLM systems
• Building and deploying foundational models at trillion-token scale
• Training infrastructure, pre-training at trillion-token scale, and meeting strict production SLAs
• A structured panel discussion where your questions about the talks drive the technical deep dive
