OpenWiki 0.2 generates codebase wikis in the OKF format, helping developers organize repo docs with metadata, changelogs, and agent-friendly retrieval.

For most of computing history, a developer environment meant a physical machine, then a VM, then a container, with each one shared across the work happening on it, each one requiring deliberate setup and teardown. The idea of giving every agent its own isolated computer, booting in under a second and cleaning up when done wasn't practical at scale. Sandboxes give you a safer way to run upgraded workflows, providing you an isolated environment to run tasks that require iteration, verification, and access to the tools a person would normally use, all without requiring human supervision. Every human developer gets a laptop. Every agent can get a computer.

Learn how leading engineering teams ship AI agents reliably and repeatedly using a four-phase agent development lifecycle: Build, Test, Deploy, and Monitor. Includes guidance on evals, runtimes, observability, and governance at scale.

AI agents work best when they reflect the knowledge and judgment your team has built over time. Some of that is institutional knowledge that’s already documented and easy for an agent to use as-is. But most great organizations also rely on tacit knowledge that lives inside their employees’ minds.

Multi-agent systems that mirror real engineering teams — not just code faster — can cut debug time by 93% and compress cross-team delivery. Here's the architecture built on LangGraph.

Agents automate real-world work, but reliable performance requires more than a good model, it requires a carefully designed harness built for specific tasks. This post explores the core agent loop, how stacking and extending loops builds more effective agents, and how to instrument each level with LangChain primitives.

Rippling uses LangChain Deep Agents and LangSmith to run cross-domain AI across HR, IT, finance, payroll, and global operations.

Running code execution in an AI agent is harder than it looks. Your agent needs a real computer (filesystem, shell, package manager, persistent state) but handing it access to your infrastructure is dangerous.Think about it this way: you use one laptop. You are n of one. But agents are going to run millions of tasks, and each one needs its own computer to work from. That's the infrastructure shift happening right now. Satya Nadella put it plainly: "Every agent needs a computer." The question is what that computer looks like, and how you give it to them safely.LangSmith Sandboxes are our answer to that. Here's why it matters, and why doing it yourself is harder than it sounds.

OpenWiki generates and maintains codebase documentation so coding agents can find the repo context they need without loading everything into one instruction file.

Recursive language models (RLMs) fix context rot by having agents write code that dispatches subagents over context chunks instead of pumping everything in one context window. Deep Agents now implements this through dynamic subagents and a lightweight code interpreter, letting agents programmatically fan out work like grep, map, and reduce over large inputs. We benchmark the approach on OOLONG, a long-context reasoning task, and show it holds up where turn-by-turn agents start to break down.

Learn why coding agent bills spiral out of control — and how to trace, compare, and govern spend across Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and more in one place.
