OpenAI + @Temporalio : Building Durable, Production Ready Agents - Cornelia Davis, Temporal

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The industry is moving from "Agent as a Script" to "Agent as a Durable Service" where state management is handled by the infrastructure.
  2. Wrap your existing API tools in the `activity_as_tool` function to gain automatic retries and execution history.
  3. Reliability is the only moat in the agentic economy. If your agent cannot survive a server restart during a three-day task, it is not ready for the enterprise.

It's Time To Build

a16z

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Shift: Infrastructure Invisibility. As core technologies become background noise, value moves from the pipes to the unique experiences built on top of them.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Reject Mediocrity. Audit your product for average features and replace them with high-conviction improvements that competitors are too lazy to attempt.
  3. The Bottom Line: Building is the only way to ensure the future happens. If you do not create the next version of reality, you are stuck living in an outdated vision.

Post-training best-in-class models in 2025

Weights & Biases

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Intelligence is decoupling from scale. As reasoning becomes a commodity, the value moves from the size of the model to the proprietary nature of the training data.
  2. Use TRL or Unsloth for single-GPU fine-tuning. Prioritize cleaning your instruction sets over increasing your training iterations.
  3. The future belongs to those who own their data pipelines. If you can distill elite reasoning into a 350M parameter model, you win on latency, cost, and privacy.
