A coding agent is the model plus everything you build around it. Harness engineering treats that scaffolding as a real artifact, and it tightens every time the agent slips.
AI Artifact Catalogs: Durable Standards Worth Institutional Investment
Companies everywhere are trying to leverage AI to boost internal productivity metrics. Some, like Ramp and Intercom, are succeeding. Many are failing.To
Generative AI in the Real World: Chang She on Data Infrastructure for AI
As a pandas core contributor and early Parquet adopter who built AI data pipelines at streaming company Tubi TV, Chang She saw firsthand why the traditional data stack breaks down for AI workloads—and founded LanceDB to fix it. Chang joined Ben Lorica to explain why vector databases are too narrow a solution for modern AI …
I just sat in a room full of data engineers the other week who were worrying about AI automating them out of work the same way auto manufacturing in Detroit
Been running local models as part of my daily workflow for a while now, and what surprised me most is how often local turned out to be the better choice, not a compromise.
Nearly once a week I receive an email from a different stranger. The messages are eerily similar. The sender has developed an unusual relationship with an AI gained over many hours of interactions. The AI has given them extraordinary insight … Continue reading →
What I've learned designing agentic workflows for docs
Back in 2024 I wrote that AI helps me remove boring work at the margins. This is fine for a lone writer, but how to scale this to an entire team of technical writers? How to make the system helpful but not intrusive? These are all questions I’m starting to answer now, partly through experimentation, but also through dialogue with practitioners and colleagues. One answer I’m testing these days relies on GitHub Agentic Workflows.
AI On Every Machine: The LLM You Probably Didn’t Want
It’s been a story of the last week or so if you follow the kind of news channels a Hackaday scribe does, that Google have quietly installed an LLM as part of the Chrome browser. Reports vary …
We built an agentic security investigation service to help us research alerts as part of our mission to keep Slack secure and protect our customers. Our service deploys teams of AI agents that collaboratively perform security investigations. AI agents free human analysts from tedious data gathering tasks. Over just the first quarter of their deployment, our agents have performed over 7,500 investigations, issuing over 500,000 tool calls. Our agents are enabling us to gain unprecedented real-time insight into Slack’s infrastructure in a way we could never do with human labor alone.
Excerpt In complex, long-running agentic systems, maintaining alignment and coherent reasoning between agents requires careful design. In this second article of our series, we explore these challenges and the mechanisms we built to keep teams of agents working productively over long time spans. We present a range of complementary techniques that balance the conflicting requirements…
