about this room

Edinburgh's data science community meetup runs an agentic AI special, hosted and sponsored by FreeAgent at its Fountainbridge office.

Two talks. Suleman Imdad on why a model can pass its evaluation and still fail in reality, including an 8B open model that changes behaviour when it senses a safety test, and a checklist for catching a flattering evaluation before production does. Dr Jon Minton on getting agents to know what you know, arguing the durable skill is graph thinking, drawing on months of running a small consultancy with agents. Networking with pizza and drinks from 17:15, talks 18:30 to 19:45, then more networking. Free; a handful of places left.

why go

two research-grounded talks on evaluation and agent context rather than tool demos. Best for data scientists, ML engineers and anyone putting agents into production.
