The Agent Project That Should Have Been One LLM Call
Some enterprise agent projects fail because autonomy was added where a bounded single-call LLM design would have delivered cleaner behavior and lower operational risk.
Open Source AI Impact: Who Wins When Models Get Cheap
Open source AI used to be the cheaper substitute. In 2026, that is too small.
Anthropic's 186-Deal Experiment Shows What the Agent Economy Actually Looks Like
In December 2025, Anthropic gave 69 employees $100 each and told them to let Claude agents trade on their behalf. The agents bought and sold real items (services, digital goods, subscriptions) listed by other employees in a controlled marketplace. The experiment ran for several weeks. When it end...
AI Coding Agents: What Actually Works in Production
GitHub reports that 46% of all new code is now AI-generated. Ninety-two percent of US developers use AI coding tools daily. Claude Code hit $2.5 billion...
Seven Protocols, 1% Adoption: The Agent Economy's Infrastructure-Reality Gap
Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Stripe, Coinbase, Google, and Shopify all shipped agent payment protocols in the last sixteen months. Seven competing standards...
Enterprise AI Adoption Playbook
Enterprise AI pilots fail at alarming rates. The gap is not model quality but deployment discipline: eval loops, human-in-the-loop design, and incremental rollouts that survive contact with real users.
Washington's $42 Billion AI Shakedown
The Trump administration is using $42 billion in broadband funding to pressure states into repealing AI laws. The FTC has been directed to classify bias mitigation as a deceptive trade practice. Meanwhile, the EU enforces the opposite.
The Trillion-Dollar Agent Panic
OpenAI launched Frontier, an enterprise agent platform, on February 5. Within three weeks, enterprise software stocks lost nearly $1 trillion. The SaaSpocalypse panic is real, but the timing is wrong.
EU AI Act 2026: What Changes for High-Risk AI Systems
On August 2, 2026, the EU AI Act becomes fully enforceable for high-risk AI systems. 40% of enterprise AI systems can't even determine whether they qualify. Here's what changes.
Deploying AI Agents to Production: What Actually Works
Only 5.2% of engineering teams have AI agents live in production. This guide covers the infrastructure, reliability, and cost management patterns that separate working deployments from abandoned prototypes.
