AI EngineerMicroVMs and Snapshots Are the Real Agent Infrastructure Stack
OpenAI’s sandbox cloud talk argues secure agents need microVMs, but the real game-changer is disk persistence for long tasks, recovery, and search.
InfoQAI Governance Begins with Your Test Suite, Not a New Policy
AI governance is boring: tests, scanning, checklists. Sarah Wells on hidden talent and cost risks.
AI EngineerStop Patching, Start Rewriting
AI is discovering old bugs at new speeds. The fix isn't faster patching; it's systemic rewrites in memory-safe languages and AI-powered code review.
AI EngineerThe Agent Web Won't Be Open Until Discovery Works

AI EngineerTypeScript Takes AI Agent Throne from Python – But Training Stays Python
Coding agents default to TypeScript, unifying full-stack dev with typing & npm—but model training remains Python. Should your team commit?
AI EngineerYour Model Rankings Are Wrong: Fix with IRT
IRT-based evaluation reveals true model skills, exposes benchmark leaks, and helps you pick the right model—avoiding the trap of one-number accuracy.
AI EngineerWhy Prompt Engineering Alone Won’t Tame AI Agent Hallucinations
Five code-level techniques reduce AI hallucinations: deterministic controls replace prompts—trading flexibility for safety.
