What Is Loop Engineering? The Control System Behind Reliable AI Agents
The visible half of loop engineering is orchestration. The decisive half is the control system that keeps the loop bounded.

The AI Runtime, issue by issue
Architecting the Auto-Updating Enterprise AI Data Loop
Tackling the AI Information Silos problem
AI Made Individuals Faster. Why Are Teams Still Slow?
The Next Bottleneck in AI Systems Is Context Transfer
State Machines for AI Agents: A field guide from Forward-Deployed Engineering
Agents reason. State machines remember.
The "Self-Improving" AI Myth (And What 60 Production Deployments Actually Do)
Sixty production deployments converged on a three-layer architecture where the eval surface, not the base model, is the moat.
Dario Amodei’s “Policy on the AI Exponential” Describes a World Banking AI Already Lives In
His new essay asks regulators to build an FAA for AI models. If you ship AI inside a bank, you already work in that regime, and there is a five-minute test that tells you whether your agent is as far
Harness Half-Life: A Field Playbook for Catching Agent Decay
The harness engineering discourse names what to build. The Model Reliability Engineering arc names how long the build lasts, what kills it, and what to do at week six.
The AI Eval Gate Cheat Sheet
Most AI projects die in the gap between "works in the demo" and "works in production."
Two Ways to Shrink an AI Model. Only One Keeps the Output.
Quantization changes the numbers. Lossless compression removes the wasted bits and keeps every output identical, for about 30% less memory.

The Anatomy of an AI Legal Agent
The leading AI legal research tools still hallucinate on up to a third of queries, so the production answer in law is not a better model but a harness built to assume the model is wrong.
The Model Is the Smallest Part: A Free Field Guide to Production AI
Sixteen published deep-dives, four modules, one operating thesis. The harness around the model is the product. Free.
Why Every Browser Harness Wrapper Is on Borrowed Time
Six hundred lines of code, no abstractions, and the argument that every wrapper around the LLM is on borrowed time.
Context Engineering for Code Agents: A Four-Level Spectrum
Context Engineering for code agents is the discipline of deciding what the model knows about a codebase, its conventions, and the organization at inference time.
The Complete Field Guide to Browser Harnesses in 2026
Thirty-plus harnesses, four topologies, two billion-dollar valuations, one collapsing abstraction layer. The canonical landscape of how autonomous agents drive the web - and the trade-offs that decide
Agent Commerce Is in Production. Here’s the Stack, the Code, and the Three Things Already Breaking.
Learnings from the first hundred days of MPP and the year-plus of x402: how Parallel, Browserbase, fal.ai, and AWS are actually running it, where the production failure modes are, and the archite
The Anatomy of a Production Vertical Agent
Seven layers wrap every LLM that has shipped in healthcare, banking, and insurance. The model itself is the smallest of them — here’s what the other six are doing.
Agents Can’t Sign Up, Demos Can’t Ship: Lessons from The AI Runtime Meetup
Two talks, one diagnosis — the infrastructure layer between AI capability and enterprise production is the bottleneck, and it isn’t being built by the model labs.
MCP Servers Are the Next Shadow Surface
Tool descriptions are now executable instructions, the dependency graph for agents runs through hundreds of unvetted servers, and the registry your enterprise needs to govern them does not yet exist.
The Cost-Per-Completed-Task Era
Per-token pricing was the right unit when API calls were single-shot. Is it when your agent runs adaptive thinking, fans out tool calls, spawns sub-agents, and retries on partial failure?
