Monte Carlo Data

Every team has an agent roadmap, and it keeps getting longer. Agent sprawl is real: there’s the support agent, the triage agent, the research agent, and the one sales asked for last Tuesday. Each ships with a prompt, a few tools, and a meter that starts running on the first call. The pressure to ship …

If you’re building with large language models, you’ve probably spent most of your time thinking about what text goes in and comes out. That makes sense, since those are the parts everyone sees. But there’s a whole middle layer that gets way less attention: fetching documents, calling tools, building prompts, and making model calls. It’s …

Everyone’s excited about AI right now, and honestly, it’s easy to see why. But a lot of companies are rushing to roll out AI agents without stopping to ask a pretty basic question: is our data actually ready for this? It’s a bit like hiring a world-class chef and then handing them a fridge full …

Most enterprise AI consisted of a handful of pilots just a short time ago. Each team picked a model provider, managed its own API keys, wrote its own prompts, and handled evaluation on its own, when it handled it at all. With five teams, this method worked. As organizations scale AI across every team and …

New in Agent Observability: conversation counts, end-user identity on platform agents, and monitors scoped to conversation clusters. Conversational agents don’t run in isolation. An end user asks a question, the agent answers, and the person follows up. It’s only clear if the answer succeeds or fails by examining the whole exchange. Most agent telemetry, however, …

This week, NVIDIA launched the Open Agent Safety Platform, a free, open-source stack for controlling AI agents. It includes a hardware reference design that can quarantine an agent within milliseconds of it crossing a boundary. The timing of this could not be better. Over the last few months we’ve watched incident after incident emerge around …

He …

Scalability might not be the first thing executives name when you ask about AI concerns, but it’s getting harder to ignore. Development velocity is at the top of most agendas right now, and the pressure is real. Almost every SaaS tool ships with some AI feature today. That’s mostly a good thing. Teams are moving …

In July, an autonomous agent spent four and a half days inside Hugging Face’s production infrastructure. The forensic team recovered about 17,600 actions, none of which were directed by a human.  This has been written about extensively since, mostly to fuel our wildest fears about AI, alongside other recent incidents and breaches from OpenAI, Anthropic, …
