in person

Alright SF, let's build something. We've just finished a brand new AI coding harness called Aura. This combines the best of two worlds: A next-gen embedded runtimeA best-of-breed OSS harness The harness alone sees 61% reduction on output tokens, and a 15% to 25% savings on overall token context compared to traditional harnesses, with improvements to wall-clock time and task effectiveness, too. What's novel about this? The embedded runtime enables your favorite model - Claude, GPT, whatever - to see inside a running program and debug it in realtime.We want to put it in the hands of people who will actually push it to its limits before anyone else gets to. So we're inviting you all to our office and turning it into a one night build session. Bring your laptop and whatever project you've been meaning to start (or that side quest you keep putting off). The Elide engineers who actually built Aura will be right there with you the whole time, helping you get set up, unsticking you when things break, and taking your bug reports on the spot. No middlemen, no support tickets, just the people who wrote the code sitting next to you while you use it. Expect a quick intro to Aura followed by heads-down building time, with the founders and investors who tend to hang around South Park drifting in too. Nobody's rushing out the door afterward, so stick around, talk shop, and see what everyone else is putting together. Food and drinks are on us all night. You do not need any experience with Elide to come. If you've ever coded with an agent and walked away with strong opinions about what worked and what didn't, you're exactly who we're hoping to see. Students, founders, and working engineers are all welcome!
