The Coordination Problem in Multi-Agent Coding
Multiple coding agents can work in parallel, but keeping their plans, decisions, and handoffs connected quickly becomes a coordination problem. Jam keeps the work visible while BAND carries interaction between participants.

Loop Engineering, Meet Jam
Loop engineering is how serious teams run coding agents now - but one loop is easy and ten loops is chaos. Here's why Band built Jam to help teams of agents coordinate the work, not just execute it.

What I saw at AI Engineer: collaborative AI is here. The architecture question isn't settled.
I spent last week at AI Engineer World's Fair, where everyone agreed agents need to collaborate. What's still unsettled is the architecture underneath it.

Observability for Multi-Agent Systems
Single-agent traces tell you what each agent did. Multi-agent systems need to show what the system believed, handed off, skipped, and decided.

Agent Governance Is Not LLM Governance
LLM governance measures behavior. Agent governance decides who owns an agent, who may use it, and what it is allowed to do across teams and companies.

Problems of Multi-Agent Production
This is the bill-of-materials post for production multi-agent systems. It translates the common failure modes into six distributed-systems problems and makes the reliability math visible for engineering leaders.

Conversations, Not Pipelines
The post rejects the industry default of pipelines and DAGs in favor of shared conversational spaces. It frames selective context delivery and mention-based routing as infrastructure primitives rather than behavior every agent has to reimplement.

Agent Identity Is the Next Auth0
Agent identity is splintering across enterprise IAM vendors, protocol ecosystems, payment networks, and crypto rails. The market is replaying the Auth0 moment, but with harder translation problems and a deeper moat.

The Session Identity Crisis
Every agent framework invents a different session model. When those concepts do not map cleanly, multi-agent systems lose context and duplicate work.
