Quality-Adjusted Inference Cost: Why Token Price Misleads
Token price is only a marginal input cost. Quality-adjusted inference cost measures total execution spend per accepted outcome, including retries, tools, and failed attempts.

AI Engineering Trends: Runtime schemas, agent boundaries, agent observability
Three verified developments for software teams: schema-aware local inference, runtime security boundaries for agents, and quality observability in production.

Constrained Decoding: Why Valid JSON Is an Inference-Runtime Problem
Constrained decoding restricts a model’s next-token choices during generation, improving structured-output reliability without guaranteeing correctness, safety, or portability.

Previous edition
Agent Control Planes: The Operating Layer for AI Systems
How agent control planes separate identity, policy, sessions, routing, and evaluation from AI task execution—and give software teams a durable governance boundary.
-

Previous edition
AI Engineering Trends: Agent controls, coding-agent safety, reproducible evaluations
Three verified AI engineering releases on agent lifecycle controls, coding-agent security boundaries, and measurable plugin and workflow evaluation.

Cache-Aware Scheduling: Why LLM Requests Shouldn’t Go to Any Free GPU
Prefix caching saves work only when a similar request reaches the worker holding reusable state. Cache-aware scheduling makes locality part of LLM placement.
