Software 3.0, LLC

Software 3.0, LLC is documented as the organizer of AI Engineer events, including World’s Fair, Summit, and Europe. AI Engineer now identifies Software 3.0 Inc as its operator; the relationship between the two legal entities is not established. The conference offering serves developers, founders, researchers, and enterprise AI architects through technical sessions, workshops, and expos, covering work with language models, agents, retrieval-augmented generation, and AI APIs.

AI Engineer began with the first Summit in 2023, launched by Shawn “swyx” Wang and Benjamin Dunphy. Wang is the brand’s cofounder and CEO; Dunphy is cofounder, VP Sales and Creative Director, with earlier experience creating Reactathon and building Jamstack Conf. The series grew around the emerging role of engineers applying foundation models to products, giving those builders a place to learn from one another.

The event business combines paid admission with sponsorship and exhibition opportunities, while AI Engineer distributes selected talks free on YouTube. The brand reported over 1.2 million unique viewers and 10 million YouTube views in 2025. This online audience extends access beyond conference venues; these figures describe AI Engineer’s reach, not the LLC’s customer count.
