    Overview: Durable Execution

    We’re finally slowing down and unpacking durable execution from the ground up, because it keeps showing up in our conversations and it actually deserves the full treatment. We’re using the book-with-bookmarks idea to make the mechanics of checkpoints, retries, and recovery click without hand-waving.

    Agentic orchestration: Enterprise AI organizations have a deployment problem, not a platform problem — and most are calling chatbots agents

    Cooper and Miles dig into VentureBeat’s claim that enterprise AI has a deployment problem, not a platform problem. They land on the gap between what companies say they want from agents and what they’ve actually shipped, with Miles probing the survey’s limits and Cooper focusing on what matters operationally once finance, security, and reliability show up.

    AI SDK 7 is now available

    AI SDK 7 adds production-grade infrastructure for agent work: reasoning standardization across providers, tool context scoping, file/skill upload deduplication, MCP Apps UI rendering, durability via WorkflowAgent, tool approvals with human-in-the-loop, and real-time voice support. The core argument is that agents aren't just bigger models—they're systems that need control surfaces, state management, and approval gates to run reliably in production. Laura sees this as the toolkit finally catching up to what teams are actually building; Harper sees solid engineering but flags that the real bottleneck is still harness design, not SDK features.
