Graph Engineering Explained: What Actually Changed
Why the loops-versus-graphs debate misses the point, what actually changed in agent orchestration, and which parts of your system should stay deterministic.

My blog on practical AI engineering, LLMs, agents, research, and what is actually useful to build.

Why the loops-versus-graphs debate misses the point, what actually changed in agent orchestration, and which parts of your system should stay deterministic.

The useful part is not giving agents more context. It is making your research, notes, and sources available again in the next session.

Why Microsoft removed AI-generated content from MAI-Thinking-1 pretraining, and what that choice reveals about the model.

Why a 90% API discount can hide model swaps and expose your credentials, code, and repository.

A practical way to stop babysitting coding agents: design their context, tools, checks, budgets, and stop conditions.

Diffusion sculpts noise. Autoregressive models predict visual tokens. Here is how both turn prompts into images.

What changed in AI coding, why generated code can feel faster, and where engineering judgment still matters.

How Gemini, DeepMind, AI Studio, and Google's distribution turned a mocked chatbot launch into an OpenAI threat.

How recursive AI improvement loops work, why weak evals reward the wrong behavior, and what builders can use now.

How model distillation works, why AI labs accuse rivals of copying, and where the ownership argument gets messy.

The guardrails, audits, and human review loops that actually work

Prompting tells an agent what to do. The harness controls its tools, permissions, tests, traces, and failures.

RAG changes the context, not the model. Here is when retrieval helps, when it does not, and when to fine-tune.

After interviewing more than 100 candidates, here’s what actually stands out in AI engineering interviews and take-home assignments

What separates a polished AI agent demo from a system your team can evaluate, debug, deploy, and trust.

A free 42-video course for understanding model behavior, not collecting more prompt tricks.

A cheatsheet to avoid costly rework in agent systems.

You’re not building agents. You’re building workflows (and that’s fine)

How to Spot and Remove “AI Slop” from Your Writing

A clear explanation of what LLMs actually learn, why humans are different, and why AGI is not around the corner
