We gave our AI agents for logistics an agentic search and memory retrieval graph so now they autonomously learn new skills and capabilities. A major step toward a fully autonomous global supply chain where all the repetitive, error prone work is carried out by super intelligence AI agent swarms.

How can you trust probabilistic AI in a high stakes domain like customs compliance? At Flexport our answer is to use the LLMs to write code, which once signed off on by human experts runs deterministically every time. I explain how we're using this approach in our new business rules engine for handling customs compliance automation.

Somali pirates hijack a vessel in the Red Sea, the Houthis take control of the Bab Al Mandeb, a Filipino crew mutinies to avoid transiting the Strait of Hormuz, a cyberattack at a port in Malaysia, and a successful crossing of the Northern Sea Route. And those are just a few of the crazy things happening in global logistics right now.

11% of US trade has turned fraudulent since Liberation day created massive incentive to cheat on your tariffs. Chinese exporters declare the value of their US exports to the Chinese government $112B higher than the value of the same goods as declared to the US government.

CNBC Anchor: That would require the U.S. military to fire missiles into Yemen and I'm not sure they want to do that. Me: I'm no expert on that but the U.S. military has fired missiles at lots of people over the last decade so I wouldn't be surprised.
