@petergostev @mattaitken @triggerdotdev Retries and API reliability are the foundation for long-running agents: without durable recovery, model switching just amplifies operational fragility. The conversation’s focus on production infrastructure is a useful complement to benchmark-driven discussions.

@petergostev @mattaitken @triggerdotdev Long-running agents need retries and observability as much as stronger model intelligence.

@petergostev @mattaitken @triggerdotdev Great talk as always. This brings a lot of value. You and @88krxxs are my go to accounts.

@petergostev @mattaitken @triggerdotdev Long-running AI agents are only as reliable as the infrastructure behind them. The retries and API reliability discussion is especially interesting as model switching becomes the norm. 🔥

@petergostev @mattaitken @triggerdotdev Retries and reliability first. Switching models is cheap if the workflow stays.

Meet… Arena Conversations. Peter Gostev sits down with Poolside researchers,Connor Adams and Aalhad Patankar, to discuss how they’re building frontier open coding models. Episode drops today at 10am PT on our YouTube. They dig into Poolside's Laguna model family, why the team publishes full trajectories (not just benchmark scores) for anyone to audit, and how "experiments" at Poolside range from data mixes to harness design to reward-tuning decisions run tens of thousands of times a day.

Open-source vs. frontier AI is usually a theoretical debate. DataCamp has to make that choice in production - while building an AI-native tutor for a platform serving more than 19 million learners. My co-founder Peter and I sat down with DataCamp Co-Founder and CEO Jonathan Cornelissen and Chief AI Officer Yusuf Saber to discuss: – which models actually work in production – whether open models are really 10x cheaper – hidden infrastructure and engineering costs – caching, latency, quality, and hallucinations – privacy, data residency, and vendor lock-in – what open models still cannot do A genuinely practical conversation about what happens when AI leaves the demo and meets real users, real costs, and real failure modes. Full interview down below + YouTube in comment section

Watch the FULL PODCAST on YouTube, link in the first reply. “It’s growing faster than Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Apple. The only Mag 7 company that’s outpacing its growth is NVIDIA, and its P/E ratio is just continuing to go down. And then guess what? All of the AI infrastructure, the data centers, the potential products that they have, is valued at near zero.”
