Agent memory quality depends on extraction quality. If extraction is slow, expensive, or imprecise, everything downstream inherits those problems: retrieval, reasoning, recall. Join Fastino Labs and Cognee for an evening on how small, specialized open-weight models can be used in the extraction layer for agent memory. Agenda: 6:00pm - Arrival, networking, food & drinks 7:00pm - Small, Fast, Local, Open: Entity & Relation Extraction for Knowledge Graphs with GLiNER2 (Mary Newhauser, Fastino Labs) 7:20pm - AI Labs Are Not Your Friend, Memory & Local Models Are (Vasilije Markovic, Cognee) 7:40pm - Live demo: GLiNER2 + Cognee 8:00pm - Q&A, drinks, networking Food and drinks will be provided. 😊 About Fastino Labs: Fastino Labs is a frontier lab headquartered in Palo Alto, California that develops SOTA SLMs (GLiNER2), fine-tuning tools, and offers optimized inference.
