Designing LLM Native Systems

This keynote presentation from Code BEAM America 2025 explores the concept of designing LLM-native systems with speaker Sean Moriarity. Discover why many current LLM implementations fail to reach their potential by being retrofitted into systems designed before transformers existed. Learn what constitutes an LLM-native system, key considerations for building effective LLM-based solutions, and see demonstrations of LLM-native alternatives to traditional software approaches. The 42-minute talk challenges the notion that LLMs are merely "magic tricks" and instead advocates for thoughtful system design that truly leverages their capabilities rather than adding unnecessary complexity to products.
