Building the runtime
Compile, gateway, Critic, evaluators, failure handling — the per-request pipeline.
After Tool Results Leave the Prompt: Designing Safe Artifact References
Offloading tool results saves context. Safe reuse also needs immutable identity, bounded reads, current access, explicit omissions, and evidence recovery.
Inside ContextOS: Shared Business Limits for AI Agents
The first public ContextOS runtime deep dive: a deterministic Rust kernel, atomic business exposure across agent runs, governed tool dispatch, conservative recovery, signed evidence and Tower.
Why Not Just Use a Database Transaction for Agent Refunds?
A row lock wins the race between two agents. It cannot see a refund that applied at the provider after a timeout, or a limit that spans two systems.
Agentic Inference: A Practical Guide to KV Cache, Scheduling, and Throughput
Why tool-using agents turn inference into a stateful memory-scheduling problem, and how to measure, design, benchmark, and roll out a better serving path.
Build the Context Pack Compiler: Eight Stages, One Typed Reference
A source-backed walkthrough of the eight deterministic Context Pack compiler stages, visible failures, evidence gates and execution boundaries.
AI Gateway and LLM Router: Model Choice Is a Runtime Decision
How an AI Gateway and LLM Router make model choice policy-bound, budgeted, observable, and replayable across production agent workflows.
MCP Adapters in Production: Enforce the Manifest at Every Boundary
How MCP 2026-07-28 fits behind a production adapter manifest with native action risk, auth, idempotency, evidence, and replay.
The Critic: Verify, Score, Consolidate with Explicit Evidence
How to separate Critic judgment from deterministic admission, evidence-scoped scoring and honest final records, using the tested reference.
Wiring the Five Evaluators: Policy, Utility, Latency, Safety, Cost
A design guide to trustworthy policy, utility, latency, safety and cost evidence, independent release assessment and current deployment controls.
Failure Playbooks: The Typed Verdict Map
Map provider errors to honest effect states, owned reconciliation, bounded eligible retry and separately governed compensation.
