Why Single Agents Fail: Embracing Multi‑Agent Microservice Architecture

When a single AI agent’s logic hits bottlenecks, the article explains how breaking responsibilities into bounded microservice agents, using pipelines for deterministic steps and supervisors for dynamic routing, yields clearer contracts, shared state, easier debugging, and more stable, scalable task execution.

Why Building AI Agents Requires a Full System‑Engineering Harness

The article explains that simply scaling large language models cannot sustain long‑running, production‑grade AI agents, and that a dedicated Agent Harness—acting as an operating system with orchestration, memory, governance, tool execution, and feedback loops—is essential for reliable, industrial‑scale automation.

When to Use Which Model in an Agent: Beyond the “Strongest Model” Myth

The article explains why routing every request to the most powerful LLM hurts cost, speed, and throughput, and presents a three‑layer task decomposition that assigns execution‑level tasks to cheap small models, intermediate tasks to mid‑size models, and high‑risk judgment tasks to large models, with concrete examples and a minimal routing strategy.

Why Harness Engineering Is the Key to Stable Agent Loops

The article explains that while an Agent Loop can execute tasks, long‑running stability depends on a well‑designed Harness engineering layer that organizes knowledge, enforces rules, provides verification, and automates cleanup, turning a functional prototype into a reliable production system.
