Why Your AI Agents Fail in Production (And How to Actually Test Them)
In a previous post, I argued that deploying autonomous AI agents reliably is not primarily a model problem. It is an environment problem. The gap between a capable foundation model and a production-ready system is bridged…

Quantum’s Weak Link: Why Supply Chains Will Determine Who Wins
Quantum technologies are entering an industrialization phase. A recent CNAS report argues that over the next three to five years, quantum sensors and computers will begin moving from laboratories into deployable systems with real economic and…

What mathematicians figured out about AI that most enterprises haven’t
Recent results suggest that research mathematics is no longer a purely speculative test case for AI. A growing set of examples shows AI contributing not just to short contest puzzles, but to open-ended mathematical work that…

China’s AI Strengths Are Real. So Are the Structural Drags Behind Them.
China is not out of the frontier AI race. Its open-weight models (models whose parameters are publicly released, allowing anyone to run or adapt them) remain genuinely competitive, and the overall capability lead has changed hands…

The Missing Layer: Why Your AI Agent Fails — and What Actually Fixes It
As organizations move autonomous AI agents from experimental sandboxes into live production, a critical bottleneck has emerged. Foundation models are remarkably capable but structurally unsuited to complex, multi-step work on their own. They have no persistent…

What Is An AI Delegate?
OpenClaw arrived with little fanfare and quickly became the fastest growing open source AI project on record. At its core, OpenClaw is a personal autonomous agent framework. It is software that connects a large language model…
