    From Single-Player to Multi-Player: Operating AI Agents at Scale

    James Everingham is the CEO and Co-founder of Guild.ai — the AI agent control plane for production teams. With roots at Netscape, Instagram (Head of Engineering), and Meta (Head of Dev Infra, leading a 1,000-person org), James brings rare, hard-won expertise to the challenge of operating AI agents at scale. From Single-Player to Multi-Player: Operating AI Agents at Scale // MLOps Podcast #383 with James Everingham, CEO and Co-founder of Guild.ai In this episode, James unpacks what actually breaks when you move from a single AI agent to a fleet of them — and what engineering leaders need to build before it's too late. 🎯 Single-Agent vs. Multi-Agent Systems — Why "single-player" AI workflows don't survive contact with production reality, and what the shift to multi-agent coordination actually demands from your infrastructure. 🔍 The Agent Control Plane — What it is, why every engineering org needs one in 2026, and how Guild.ai is building the neutral layer to deploy, govern, and share agents across any framework or model. ⚠️ Non-Determinism at Scale — Why AI agents behave like employees, not software, and why you need workforce-style governance — not just observability tooling — to manage them. 💸 Token Spend & Cost Visibility — How teams running agents in production are flying blind on cost, and what Guild shows you that your current stack doesn't. 🏗️ Lessons from Meta's DevMate — How Meta's AI coding agent went from experiment to submitting 50% of all diffs, and what that journey teaches every engineering leader about scaling agents safely. 🚦 Agent Identity & Governance — Why every agent needs an identity, what happens when they don't have one, and how agent sprawl becomes a governance crisis fast. 🔄 Sharing Agents as Infrastructure — Why Guild treats agents as shared production infrastructure rather than one-off scripts, and how that changes the economics of AI investment. 🛠️ Framework Agnosticism — Why betting on a single agent framework is a losing strategy, and how to build for a multi-model, multi-framework world from day one. Essential viewing for engineering leaders, AI platform teams, and founders building production-grade agentic systems. 🔗 Guild.ai: https://guild.ai 🔗 James on X/Twitter: https://x.com/jevering 🔗 James on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameseveringham 🔗 Demetrios on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpbrinkm/ ⏱️ Timestamps [00:00] Context Transfer Challenges [00:51] Control Plane for Agents [02:17] Effective Agent Policies [09:23] Agent Governance Policies [15:34] Developer Tool Adoption [22:02] Knowledge Sharing and Open Source [24:59] Simulated Deployments and Confidence [29:36] Agent Workloads vs Human Workloads [39:55] AI as a Customer [47:59] Agent Hub vs Autonomy [53:21] Wrap up #AgenticAI #AIAgents #AIEngineering

    Logs Are All You Need: Rethinking Observability with AI Agents

    Sherwood Callaway is the founder of Sazabi (YC P26), the AI-native observability platform built for engineering teams who ship fast. He previously founded and exited a YC company — now he's back, betting that logs are all you need to replace Datadog. Logs Are All You Need: Rethinking Observability with AI Agents // MLOps Podcast #381 with Sherwood Callaway, the Founder of Sazabi 🔑 What's covered: 🪵 Logs vs. The Three Pillars — Sherwood makes the case that the traditional observability stack (metrics, logs, traces) is overkill. In 2026, with AI agents in the loop, logs alone are sufficient — and dramatically simpler to instrument. 🚨 AI-Generated Alerts, Not AI-Evaluated Alerts — Instead of using AI to triage your noisy alert stream, Sazabi generates the alerts autonomously from your logs and codebase — so you never configure a monitor again. 🤖 Agent Sandboxing & Bash Access — How Sazabi gives its AI agent a persistent bash sandbox with CLI tool access, why every other action routes through that sandbox, and how RLS database permissions keep the agent from doing damage. 🧠 Agentic Memory via Git — Sazabi's novel approach to persisting agent memory across threads using Git branches — enabling multiple parallel sub-agents to share findings without bloating the context window. 🔀 Multi-Agent Parallelization — How Sazabi spawns sub-agents and background agents on-demand to investigate production issues in parallel, the way Claude Code displays a live to-do list of agent work. 📊 Why Evals Are Hard (and What They Built Instead) — An honest conversation about the difficulty of evaluating agentic systems, log-based eval proxies, and why Sazabi still doesn't buy third-party eval tooling. ⚡ MCP Servers, Skills Bloat & Context Management — The tradeoffs between MCP servers and local skill files, progressive tool disclosure, and why context window management is the hidden bottleneck in production agent systems. 🎯 Building a Moat in 2026 — Sherwood and Demetrios debate what a defensible advantage actually looks like when every AI tool can be cloned fast. Spoiler: "We built it first" is not a moat. 🚀 Beta Launch & Who It's For — Sazabi is in closed beta and opening the waitlist. If your team uses Cursor or Claude Code and you have production traffic you can't afford to break, this is built for you. 👉 Perfect for: AI engineers, SREs, DevOps teams, and founders building production-grade agent systems who are questioning whether their current observability stack is overbuilt. 🔗 Links & Resources 🌐 Sazabi: https://sazabi.com 📄 Sazabi on Y Combinator: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/sazabi 💼 Sherwood Callaway on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sherwood-callaway 📰 SiliconANGLE coverage: https://siliconangle.com/2026/04/08/startup-sazabi-bets-on-logs-and-ai-agents-to-replace-traditional-observability-stacks/ 💻 MLOps.community: https://mlops.community ⏱️ Timestamps [00:00] Genetic Agent Evolution [00:33] Dethroning Datadog [03:13] Sazabi vs Traditional Observability [10:47] MCP vs CLI Paradigm [15:12] Sandbox Usage for Agents [24:28] Genetic Prompt Optimization [32:34] Eval and Agent Spawning [38:45] RL Environment Tensions [45:40] Sazabi is hiring!

    Architecting Modern AI Systems: Platforms, Agents, and Integration

    BuzzHPC Roundtable episode: Architecting Modern AI Systems: Platforms, Agents, and Integration Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinIn Get the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter MLOps GPU Guide: https://go.mlops.community/gpuguide Big shout-out to BuzzHPC for the collaboration! // Abstract As AI systems evolve into more autonomous, agent-driven architectures, the way we design platforms, tools, and infrastructure is rapidly changing. In this session with BuzzHPC, we explore the shifting boundary between platforms and tools, what developers expect platform providers to handle versus what they want to control and build themselves. We unpack what modern agentic stacks look like today, how teams are structuring them in production, and where these architectures are heading as systems become more complex and distributed. A key focus will also be on agent interoperability, how different agents communicate, coordinate, and operate within shared environments. Finally, we share insights and lessons from a recent AI hackathon delivered in partnership with Bell, Buzz, Mila, and KHP, highlighting how these concepts are being tested and applied by builders in real-world scenarios. // Bio Allen Roush Allen has held senior technical and AI leadership roles at companies like Oracle and Intel.
