Review of Deep Seek OCR

DeepSeek-OCRflips the OCR script. Instead of feeding full image tokens to the decoder, it leans on an encoder to compress them up front, trimming down input size and GPU strain in one move. That context diet? It opens the door for way bigger windows in LLMs. Why it matters:Shoving compression earlie.. read more

AI agents are starting to eat SaaS

AI coding agents are eating the lunch of low-complexity SaaS. Teams with a bit of dev muscle are skipping subscription logins and spinning up dashboards, pipelines, even decks, using Claude, Gemini, whoever’s fastest that day. Build vs. buy? Tilting back toward build. The kicker: build now takes min.. read more

Agent-Driven SRE Investigations: A Practical Deep Dive into Multi-Agent Incident Response

A sandboxed setup dropped multiple Claude-powered agents into Docker containers to run a full incident response drill. Each agent played a role: probing Kubernetes clusters, sniffing out root causes, and shipping remediation PRs straight to GitHub. Out of 7 test incidents, they nailed the diagnoses .. read more  

Agent-Driven SRE Investigations: A Practical Deep Dive into Multi-Agent Incident Response
DevOpsDayLA is Southern California's premier conference focused on the human side of technology delivery. For 15 years, we've brought together SoCal practitioners who understand that great software isn't just about tools, it's about people working together effectively.

The 2026 Lens: DevOps in an AI World: You're working in a world where AI is everywhere, embedded in your tools, requested by your management, and reshaping how teams deliver software. Whether you're embracing these changes or navigating the challenges they create, your experience matters.

We're looking for stories about how you and your organizations are adapting your mindsets, processes, and team dynamics in this rapidly evolving landscape. How did your team integrate AI into existing workflows? What changed about collaboration when AI entered the picture? Where do humans remain critical in automated processes? How do you build the next generation of engineers when entry-level work is automated? What are the real implementation challenges you're facing in Southern California's entertainment, gaming, aerospace, retail, healthcare, and manufacturing companies?

What makes DevOpsDayLA different: We focus on culture, collaboration, and cross-industry implementation stories rather than pure technical deep-dives. We're all about the people and processes that make technology successful in an AI world, not the technology itself.

We especially welcome new speakers, under-represented voices, and fresh perspectives from across SoCal's diverse tech landscape.
