Language Agents: From Reasoning to Reliable Action
Reasoning helps an agent choose its next move. Reliable action also depends on usable tools, meaningful feedback, memory, and control over the workflow.
Latent Space
A technical newsletter, podcast and community for AI engineers, expanding into daily news and a podcast network.
Latent Space’s 2024 Year in Review — Part 1 of 3: From Scaling Models to Shipping Systems
Part 1 follows AI engineering’s growing community into inference economics, enterprise agents, synthetic data and the businesses succeeding close to either the machines or the customer.
Latent Space’s 2024 Year in Review — Part 2 of 3: From Model Demos to Daily Work
Part 2 follows the move from impressive models to usable products: simpler image editing, branching agent execution, portable memory, harder evaluations and falling inference costs.

Laurie Voss
Developer, npm Inc. cofounder and writer on AI application design, evaluation and the changing work of software engineers.
Learning from Human Behavior: Amplitude’s Feedback Loop for AI Products
What users keep, edit, share, or discard can help diagnose AI output. Amplitude’s early question-to-chart work connects those signals to product experiments and a longer-term ambition to model behavior itself.
Leash Bio
A computational chemistry company building large-scale molecular measurements and testing how well models generalize.
Leash Bio’s Lab in the Loop at Compute Speed
How DNA-encoded screens, careful controls and an agent sandbox turn measured protein–molecule interactions into experiments for models.
