Implications
How agents reshape work, company design, science, education, markets, and institutions.
State of Agents tracks the people, infrastructure, applications, and risks shaping agent systems — a forthcoming landscape report, builder meetups, and conversations with the people building the stack.
01 — The report
A deeply researched overview of the agent stack. Each layer below is its own chapter — read bottom to top, from the physical substrate to the societal implication.
How agents reshape work, company design, science, education, markets, and institutions.
Security, data access, auditability, identity, fraud, compliance, human handoff, and failure containment.
Support, software engineering, research, operations, sales, back office, science, and vertical workflows.
Runtimes, evals, observability, memory, permissions, orchestration, and the emerging developer stack.
Capability curves, tool use, planning, long-horizon reliability, multimodal agents, and the limits of current architectures.
Inference economics, chips, datacenter constraints, edge deployment, and the physical bottlenecks underneath agent autonomy.
02 — Three pillars
Three formats, one field office for people building with, buying, and studying agent systems.
Small gatherings for founders, researchers, infrastructure teams, operators, investors, and agent-native builders to compare notes.
Formats →A deeply researched overview of the agent stack — from silicon to society. In progress now, released soon.
The map →Podcasts, livestreams, briefings, and field notes with the people building, deploying, funding, and studying agent systems.
Stay tuned →03 — Meetups
What shipped, what failed, what users accepted, and what teams had to change. Three formats, run for people who want the practical, not the polished.
Hands-on sessions where builders demo what they shipped and dissect what broke.
Guided walks through a layer of the stack with the people closest to it.
Operators share deployment results, user acceptance, and the changes teams had to make.
