James Todd liked thisJames Todd liked thisDev GTM Diaries: Every enterprise I talk to right now is asking the same question. Not "should we build AI agents?" That debate is over. The question is: "Where do our agents run?" And the answer most teams give is... they don't know yet. Here's what I'm seeing in the field: Teams build an AI agent prototype on a laptop. It works. They demo it to leadership. Leadership says "ship it." And then reality hits: 🤖 Where does this agent authenticate? 🤖 How do you isolate per-customer agent execution? 🤖 What happens when 10,000 users hit it simultaneously? 🤖 Who's paying the inference bill? The infrastructure layer for AI agents is the biggest greenfield opportunity in enterprise tech right now. It's not about the model. It's about everything around the model; state management, execution isolation, model routing, async processing, and edge delivery. The companies that figure out their agent infrastructure stack in 2026 will have a 2-year head start on everyone else. #AIAgents #EdgeComputing #DevPlatform #Cloudflare

James Todd liked thisJames Todd liked thisWith all the announcements re: Mythos, this is a good read: https://lnkd.in/g6se_FKu Anthropic’s Claude #Mythos is making headlines for autonomous zero-day discovery, but this analysis from AISLE™ reveals a critical strategic insight: the true defensive moat is the orchestration system, not the underlying model. Key takeaways for security leaders: The Capability is Accessible: Testing shows that smaller, open-weight models can successfully replicate many of Mythos's flagship vulnerability discoveries when given the right context. The Frontier is Jagged: #AI #cybersecurity capability does not scale uniformly with model size. Smaller, highly targeted models can often outperform massive frontier models on specific triage and detection tasks. #Architecture Outperforms Raw Power: A highly optimized system deploying cost-effective models continuously will out-discover a single expensive model deployed sparingly. The technology for autonomous AI defense is already broadly accessible. The mandate for security teams today is to stop waiting for the ultimate frontier model and start building the targeted pipelines, scaffolding, and validation workflows required to deploy AI defensively at scale. We Cloudflare can definitely help.AI Cybersecurity After Mythos: The Jagged FrontierAI Cybersecurity After Mythos: The Jagged Frontier

James Todd liked thisJames Todd liked thisA little ironic moment for me… A few years ago, I was probably one of the louder skeptics of how casually the term “AI” was being thrown around. It felt overused, underdefined, and often disconnected from real-world impact. Fast forward to today, and I’m honored to be recognized as a leader in AI here in the DC area. I guess that’s what happens when you go from questioning the hype to actually building something meaningful in it. Really proud of what we’re doing at Bricklayer AI and even more excited about where this is all heading. The shift from tools to coordinated, agentic systems is just getting started. Appreciate the recognition from the DCA Live team and congrats to the other leaders pushing this space forward.

James Todd liked thisJames Todd liked thisOur team just went through OpenCode School together and it was one of the best learning experiences we've had this year. Zeke Sikelianos built it as a free, open-source course that teaches you how to use OpenCode, the open-source AI coding agent. No account required, no data collected. The course adapts to your experience level and learning style -- people on our team with zero coding background were working through it alongside engineers. By the end, everyone was connecting MCP servers, querying internal data, and building things in the terminal that would have seemed impossible a few weeks ago. If you're curious about AI coding tools but don't know where to start, this is the on-ramp: https://opencode.school
