AI is no longer just hype — it’s engineering ⚙️
Empat team attended AI Summit 2026, and the conference once again delivered an incredibly strong lineup of speakers, insights, and discussions around real-world AI development.
Two talks stood out the most:
🔹 Vyacheslav Koldovskyi () on Agentic Engineering for brownfield projects — a practical look at how legacy systems are not rewritten from scratch, but gradually adapted to work with AI through Memory Bank, Rules, Code Graph, and Spec-Driven Development.
🔹 Oleksandr Krakovetskyi (DevRain) with a deep dive into LLM APIs — covering temperature, top_p, reasoning tokens, prompt caching, quantization, and everything that impacts the quality and cost of production AI workflows.
Both talks focused on something extremely important: engineering discipline in AI development.
That’s what keeps AI projects from becoming expensive demos.
Big thanks to Fwdays for the atmosphere, the community, and the high-quality content 💙
