Multi-agent systems promise autonomous workflows, specialized agents, and major productivity gains—but production reality is more complicated.
In this ODSC AI East 2026 session, Sinan Ozdemir, Founder of Crucible and AI & LLM Advisor at Tola Capital, explores the case for and against harnessing multi-agent systems. Drawing on enterprise deployments, his book Building Agentic AI, and real-world lessons from agent failures, Sinan breaks down why autonomy alone is not enough.
The session examines how teams can balance agent freedom with architectural constraints, evaluation loops, cost controls, human-in-the-loop gates, and progressive autonomy. Watch to learn how to decide how much “harness” your agents need and how to build multi-agent systems that deliver value without becoming systems you have to babysit.

Overview: The Changing Face of Open Source This week’s digest captures a pivotal moment for open source, where AI is both a powerful tool and a source of new challenges. From smarter drone navigation to code upgrades, the community is grappling with how to integrate AI without losing the human-centric values that define open source. … Read more
Autonomous drones only fly as well as they can figure out where they are. Drop one into a forest, a dense city, or a disaster zone, and that gets a lot harder — the signals they normally lean on just aren’t there. This week we get into HUNT, a navigation approach built for exactly the places where the usual answers fall apart.

Learn how OpenSearch’s sparse_vector field type enables neural sparse search — and see it running live on an OpenSearch cluster, all in under 6 minutes.
In this video, Ramya breaks down what sparse_vector is, how it differs from knn_vector, the key parameters you need to know when configuring it, and walks through a complete working example on OpenSearch Dashboards. By the end, you’ll know how to create a sparse vector index, ingest documents with token-weight pairs, run your first neural sparse search query — and how to decide when to use sparse_vector versus knn_vector.
If you haven’t seen the knn_vector video yet, I’d recommend starting there for context — it covers the dense vector side of the same story.

Build map-powered mobile apps without vendor lock-in. In this FOSSASIA Summit 2026 session, Masashi Katsumata introduces MapConductor, an open-source middleware SDK that provides a unified API for popular map platforms, including Google Maps, Mapbox, ArcGIS, HERE, and MapLibre.
Discover how MapConductor simplifies cross-platform development by abstracting multiple map SDKs behind a consistent interface, reducing migration costs and allowing developers to focus on application logic instead of provider-specific implementations. The session also covers the project’s architecture, technical challenges, live demos, and roadmap toward a community-driven open-source ecosystem.
FOSSASIA Summit 2026 held in Bangkok, is Asia’s leading Open Source tech conference featuring sessions on #AI, #Cloud, #DevOps, #Open Hardware, #Security, #Web #Mobile Technologies, #Web3, and #Databases. Learn more: http://summit.fossasia.org
