# Dealing With Inference Latency As large language models (LLMs) move from research prototypes into production, engineering teams run into a hard truth: building an intelligent model is only half the battle. Serving that model to users in real time is a different engineering challenge entirely. In generative AI, inference is the phase where a …

One Answer, Fifteen Models: How an AI Agent Works at Scale. Ask a production agent one question and a stopwatch starts. Two seconds. In that window it will run more models than most people think exist in the whole system. ai-agents reliability voice-ai agent-architecture outcome-pricing Ask a production agent one question and a stopwatch starts. …

Most of What the Agent Writes Should Be Thrown Away. A team built about a hundred versions of one loading spinner and shipped a dozen. The eighty in the bin were not waste. They were the method. prototyping iteration product-decisions engineering-management ai-tools About eighty versions of a single loading spinner went into the bin. The …

a cleaning company to request a quote for cleaning a couch. They asked about its size and material and requested a picture of it. They also needed my address because travel time varies significantly across the city and therefore affects the price. After receiving the quote for the couch, I asked about apartment cleaning. This …

Why Your Messy Codebase Is Now a Performance Problem. Tidiness used to be an argument about taste. Now the half finished migration nobody wanted to talk about is quietly setting the speed limit for every tool you bought. technical-debt codebase-hygiene ai-tools migrations engineering-management Watch a new hire on their first week.

# Introduction Most people picture building a voice agent as stitching three things together: speech-to-text (STT), a large language model (LLM), and text-to-speech (TTS). Wire them up, and you’re done. That picture is correct as far as it goes, and it describes the simplest architecture, where each stage waits for the previous one to fully …
How Much AI Autonomy Can Your Team Actually Supervise?. Every AI tool has a dial on it. Most of the argument about agents is really an argument about where that dial should sit, and almost nobody says so out loud. autonomy human-in-the-loop ai-products agent-ready-docs verification Every Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool you use has a dial …

For robots to assist humans in everyday environments, accurate spatial reasoning is not enough. Robots must also think fast, timing their decisions and reasoning with the real-time speed of the physical world. That’s why today we’re launching Gemini Robotics ER 2, our most capable “embodied reasoning” model for robotics. Think of Gemini Robotics ER 2 …
