Read excerpt
This week’s patternAgents are becoming infrastructure: security boundaries, hardware interfaces, custom inference silicon, and enterprise adoption are pushing agent systems beyond the model layer.Open-source infrastructure keeps moving closer to the platform core: AWS acquiring the DuckDB team while leaving DuckDB independent is a strong signal that embedded open-source engines are becoming strategic infrastructure.AI & AgentsThe sandbox is now part of the threat model<p
