Topics
Everything, by theme
Research sweeps and explainers cover the same ground from different angles. These themes bring both together, so you can follow a subject rather than a format.
- 8 sweeps · 15 explainers
Agentic AI and autonomous systems
What it actually takes to put agents to work: the loops they run, the architectures that hold them, and where autonomy stops paying for itself.
- 11 sweeps · 19 explainers
AI engineering and architecture
Building systems around models rather than on top of them: control planes, deterministic rails, retrieval over volatile corpora, and code intelligence at scale.
- 6 sweeps · 10 explainers
Enterprise adoption and operating models
How organisations actually absorb AI: vendor selection, usage patterns across sectors, and the operating-model changes that decide whether any of it lands.
- 2 sweeps · 5 explainers
Project delivery and risk
Why big projects overrun and what to do about it: tail risk in cost and schedule, reference-class forecasting, and what actually ships versus what gets started.
- 8 sweeps · 10 explainers
AI economics and markets
What AI costs once you count properly: token cost of ownership, the pressure on software business models, and how each technology wave priced itself.
- 5 sweeps · 9 explainers
Governance, safety and regulation
The constraints forming around AI: financial-services regulation, model risk, and the code paths nobody is watching.
- 2 sweeps · 11 explainers
AI capability and the frontier
What the models can currently do, how fast that is moving, and which milestones are worth taking seriously.
- 2 sweeps · 3 explainers
Quantum computing
Foundations and the state of play: what quantum hardware can and cannot do yet, and what would have to change for that to matter commercially.
- 3 sweeps · 2 explainers
Emergence and complex systems
How simple local rules add up to behaviour nobody programmed directly: climate and weather forecasting under deep uncertainty, cross-domain research on emergent behaviour, and a live lab where you can watch it happen.
