Background & analysis
AI Agent system architecture has evolved in three stages: from linear prompt chains to graph-based workflows, and most recently to code-executing harnesses. The first is simple but fragile; the second adds branching, retries, and validation; the third verifies outputs by actually running code against them. A review published by InfoQ on October 26, 2026, by Karthik Ramgopal, lays out this progression and draws a pragmatic conclusion: validate model outputs, then pick the least complex design that still meets your reliability, speed, and cost requirements. The piece stops at architectural advice rather than announcing a product, and only this single report is available on the topic so far.

How is heat calculated?About the methodHide
Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
