Agent State Migration and Rollback: The Missing Reliability Layer
Agent state migration rollback is becoming the reliability layer between agent memory, workflow versioning, and production recovery.
Swarm Signal - AI Research for People Who Build
Technical AI research, explained clearly for researchers, builders, and anyone trying to understand what actually matters.
RAG Maintenance After Deployment: The Failure Mode Nobody Budgets For
RAG maintenance after deployment is the hidden operating cost: stale indexes, drifting corpora, weak evals, and silent retrieval failure.
Small-Model Routing With Frontier Fallback: The Production Cost Pattern
Small-model routing cuts inference bills only when fallback is measured, budgeted and guarded against confidence failure.
Where Agent Adoption Fails: The Function-by-Function Pattern
Function-by-function adoption fails when agents miss workflow ownership, evaluation, integration, or trust boundaries.
Evaluation-Aware Memory: How Agents Should Remember What They Can Prove
Agent memory should promote facts only after evals prove they improve task outcomes, not just because retrieval found them.
Runtime Policy Enforcement for AI Agents: The Guardrails That Need to Execute
A practical guide to enforcing agent policy at runtime, before tools execute and business actions become incidents.
Swarm Intelligence for Builders: When Distributed Agents Actually Help
A practical guide to when swarm intelligence helps builders, when a single agent wins, and how to avoid coordination tax.
Agent Accountability Is Becoming Runtime Infrastructure
Agent accountability is becoming runtime infrastructure: identity, delegated authority, trace logs, approvals and incident reconstruction.
Multimodal Agents Are Still Missing the Workflow
Multimodal agents can see and act in interfaces, but production value still depends on workflow grounding, reliable UI actions and verification.
Million-Token Context Still Fails the Workload Test
Anthropic reported on February 5, 2026 that Claude Opus 4.6 scored 76% on the 8-needle 1M-token MRCR v2 test while Claude Sonnet 4.5 scored 18.5% on the...
