Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinIn Get the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter Shoutout to Airia for powering this MLOps Podcast episode. // Abstract Spencer Reagan thinks it might be, and he’s not shy about saying so. In this episode, he and Demetrios Brinkmann get real about the messy, over-engineered state of agent systems, why LLMs still struggle in the wild, and how enterprises keep tripping over their own data chaos. They unpack red-teaming, security headaches, and the uncomfortable truth that most “AI platforms” still don’t scale. If you want a sharp, no-fluff take on where agents are actually headed, this one’s worth a listen. // Bio Passionate about technology, software, and building products that improve people's lives. // Related Links Website: https://airia.com/ Machine Learning, AI Agents, and Autonomy // Egor Kraev // MLOps Podcast #282 - https://youtu.be/zte3QDbQSek Re-Platforming Your Tech Stack // Michelle Marie Conway & Andrew Baker // MLOps Podcast #281 - https://youtu.be/1ouSuBETkdA ~~~~~~~~ ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ~~~~~~~ Catch all episodes, blogs, newsletters, and more: https://go.mlops.community/TYExplore Join our Slack community [ https://go.mlops.community/slack ] Follow us on X/Twitter [@mlopscommunity]( https://x.com/mlopscommunity ) or [LinkedIn]( https://go.mlops.community/linkedin )] Sign up for the next meetup: [ https://go.mlops.community/register ] MLOps Swag/Merch: […
