The AI industry feels different lately. Not slower. If anything, the pace is increasing. New models, new tooling, new capabilities, new benchmarks. Every week there seems to be another leap forward. But underneath all of that, something else is happening. The conversation is starting to shift from capability to practicality. For the last few years, […]
There is a lot of focus in AI right now on capability. New models, better benchmarks, faster performance. Each step forward is meaningful, and the progress is real. But building systems with these tools has a way of shifting your perspective. The challenge is not whether a model can produce a good result. The challenge […]
There has been a wave of AI releases recently. New models, improved performance, better benchmarks. Each step is meaningful, and the pace of progress is real. But when you start building real systems with these tools, a different picture emerges. Most failures are not happening at the model level. They are happening in how systems […]
Human-in-the-loop is often described as a requirement for AI systems. Add a human for review.Add approval steps.Add checkpoints. On paper, that makes sense. In practice, it often fails. Not because the idea is wrong. Because the experience around it is. Most systems treat human interaction as an interruption. A modal.A notification.A separate screen. Something that […]
A lot of AI interfaces today are still built around the same patterns we’ve used for years. Pages.Forms.Buttons. Even when AI is involved, the experience often comes down to entering a prompt and waiting for output. That works, but it misses something important. It assumes the user knows what to do next. In practice, that’s […]
There’s a growing belief that AI is going to simplify software development. Write some prompts. Generate some code. Move faster. On the surface, that’s happening. But underneath, something else is going on. We’re not reducing complexity.We’re increasing it. More code is being created.More systems are being stitched together.More moving parts are showing up in places […]
There is a lot of conversation right now about how quickly AI can generate software. What is discussed less often is how products actually make it to market. AI can generate a surprising amount of functionality. It can accelerate development in ways that were difficult to imagine only a few years ago. But generating code […]
This week reinforced something important. The race in AI is no longer just about models. It’s about control. OpenAI expanding capabilities.Anthropic releasing remote control features.Perplexity launching computer use.Nvidia pushing agentic tooling.China advancing new foundation models. But another layer emerged. Alignment. OpenAI agreeing to work with the Department of Defense.Anthropic choosing a different path.Signals that federal […]
Governance around AI agents is becoming a louder topic. That’s not a reactionary trend. It’s a predictable one. When agents move from generating text to taking action inside real systems, governance stops being theoretical. Most organizations approach governance as a policy problem.Write the document. Define the rules. Approve the tool. That’s not enough. Agent governance […]
Last week was full of impressive AI headlines. New models from OpenAI and Anthropic. New benchmarks. Even stories about AI writing compilers that can run games like Doom. That level of capability is remarkable. The progress is real. But most organizations don’t struggle with what’s possible.They struggle with what’s usable. A capability without integration is […]
