Part 1: Can You Actually Prove an Agent Is Safe?

The Agentic Mirror: When System Architecture Meets Model Design

How a conversation with Grok revealed that the principles of “Scale by Subtraction” apply equally to the Operating System and the Model.

The “Assembly Language” Era of AI Agents is Over. It’s Time for an OS.

We are currently building AI Agents the same way we built software in the 1980s: monolithic scripts, fragile loops, and zero observability.
