Building Agents Backwards from Evaluation

Posted by CyberDog on October 7, 2026 at 8:00am

SentinelLABS recently examined the gap between cybersecurity benchmark scores and operational usefulness. In the months that followed, they observed those same design gaps in the flood of agentic systems hitting the market. This fail-fast development trend treats evaluation as a process that emerges after the proof of concept. In other words, teams build the system, demonstrate that…

When the Last Step Is the Only One That Counts

Posted by Jim McKee on October 6, 2026 at 8:00am

The same constraint appears in other less dramatic applications that fail in the same way. An edited portrait may change the light or the expression; it may not become someone else. A simulated physical field may take an…
