AI Agents: Why the Harness Matters More Than the Model

AI system performance is driven by the 'agentic harness'—the tools, memory, and loops surrounding the model—rather than just the model itself. Distinguishing between the 'brain' (model) and the 'jar' (harness) is essential for building effective AI agents.

Human Judgment in the Age of AI Software Factories

As AI agents scale development, human judgment shifts from writing code to defining intent, system design, and verification strategy. A 'software factory'—a repeatable, event-driven loop—is the framework for managing this shift, provided you balance verification budgets with human oversight.

Solving Alignment Bottlenecks in Chip Design with AI

In high-stakes industries like chip design, alignment is a quadratic cost that outweighs individual skill. A shared nervous system—using a living graph of intent and role-specific agents—can reduce communication overhead and prevent costly errors.
