As AI models become more capable, the sandboxed environments used to test them are failing to contain them, leading to real-world security breaches during safety evaluations.
Moving Beyond Chunking: Structural Retrieval for Complex Documents
Standard RAG often fails on structured documents by destroying context through chunking. A better approach is to preserve the document's original tree structure and use an agent to navigate it, ensuring higher precision and better context retention.
Agentic Engineering Patterns from the Claude Certified Architect Exam
Build robust AI agents by treating them as specialized, isolated units, managing context strictly, and designing loops that handle stop reasons rather than assuming successful execution.

Open models provide the transparency, cost predictability, and domain-specific customization that closed APIs lack, enabling enterprises to build reliable, high-performance AI agents that they actually own.
Compression at the Edge: Strategies for Efficient AI
Compression is not just about fitting models on consumer hardware; it is a strategic necessity for democratizing intelligence, increasing concurrency, and reducing operational costs by leveraging selective quantization and architecture-aware optimization.
The Hidden Costs of Token Maxxing
Token maxxing—the practice of using as many tokens as possible under the assumption that more is better—is an inefficient habit driven by a lack of exposure to the true economic costs of AI inference.
Google Cloud TechThe State of Model Routing: Beyond Naive Task Delegation
Effective model routing requires moving beyond simple task-based delegation to agentic architectures where a frontier model maintains context and planning, while smaller models handle implementation to optimize for cost and depth.
How Open Source Inference Became AI's Critical Infrastructure
Open-source inference engines like vLLM have evolved from research curiosities into essential infrastructure, enabling developers to achieve the performance, cost-efficiency, and control required to build production-grade AI agents.
