Dario Amodei is right that safeguards need time to catch up with AI capabilities. But companies deploying agents face a related question: how much authority should they hand over? When model output becomes real action, AI safety doesn’t stop at the model. temporal.io/blog/ai-safety-d…

Anyone who knows @AmplifyPartners won't be surprised that I don't have any photos or cheesy videos of the 3 of us from back then. So this picture (the creation of which is aptly powered by Temporal) will have to do...

Temporal’s LangGraph and LangSmith integrations are now in Public Preview. If you’re building agents with LangGraph, you can now run them on Temporal without rewriting your codebase. Keep the framework you already use and add the durability your agents need in production. All the details: temporal.io/blog/temporal-la…

Fresh out of a CS degree, 1 year into his career, Pasha Fateev found himself at a crossroads. Then he met a founder in the Temporal Community Slack and three weeks later had 50k lines of Temporal code in production. His only prior Temporal experience: the 101 and 102 courses 🤯🔥 He wrote up how he did it, including a Workflow anti-pattern he only caught in hindsight and a voice agent that never quite learned phone etiquette. It worked though, and so did he. (He’s an engineer at Temporal now.) Read his story: temporal.io/blog/overcoming-…

This was so much fun. Thanks @sarahdingwang @RaghuRaghuram for having me.
"We are clearly entering a world where a product-minded engineer is now empowered to produce software without writing a line of code for it." In this conversation, Temporal CEO Samar Abbas joins a16z GPs Sarah Wang and Raghu Raghuram to cover: - Why agents are going from short-lived and interactive to long-running and async - Why the engineer of the future manages 15 parallel AI tasks at once - How OpenAI Codex runs millions of concurrent agent executions on Temporal - How real-time context engineering is exploding on Temporal - Why SaaS isn't dead, and value is migrating to APIs 00:00 Introduction 04:03 Temporal's origin story 11:14 Why agents raise the stakes 16:00 Specialized agents need durable RPC 25:20 Deep research agents 30:58 Execution histories as a superpower 39:04 Minimal viable long-running agent architecture 45:07 Context engineering at scale 52:40 Where value accrues: The "five-layer cake" and breakout AI applications @SamarAtTemporal @sarahdingwang @RaghuRaghuram

With Temporal, your agent code stays clean while getting enterprise-grade reliability and scalability: automatic retries with custom policies, state persistence, fault tolerance, and workflows that can run for months without timing out. The magic happens behind the scenes.
