TMLS Backstage: The State of Agents OPS

What’s really happening in the world of agent tooling?

Join Denys Linkov, Diego Oppenheimer (Head of Product, Hyperparam), and Priyankya Somrah (Principal, Work-Bench) as they discuss insights from the Benchmark Report on Agentic Ops,  a first-of-its-kind look into how teams are actually building and deploying agentic systems.

This will be an engaging discussion on the evolving role of agents in modern workflows, including where traditional automation fits in, emerging tooling gaps, the shift toward non-deterministic design, and long-term architectural implications for teams building at scale.

Whether you’re just starting to build agentic systems or scaling them in production, this lively chat will offer a glimpse into what these top AI practitioners think about the report what’s likely to come next.

The discussion will be followed by a live audience Q&A.
