If you need a framework to make your AI agent "safe," your agent isn't safe. Safety is engineered into the system. Not imported from a package. Curious what others think — am I wrong? (Building this live on Oct 31 → luma.com/qwhit9op)

30 min, live on Zoom, recording + notebook yours after. Part 1 of 3 feeding the full bakeoff course, Nov 18.

1/ Most AI agents fail in production not because the model is bad — but because nobody engineered the system around it. Here's what actually breaks (and how to fix it): 🧵

3/ Problem 2: The context window fills up and the agent starts forgetting — silently. Token budgets, memory tiers, and conversation compaction aren't optional. They're how you keep the agent from going off the rails 45 minutes into a session.

4/ Problem 3: There's no retry logic, no cost ceiling, no audit trail. One malformed query. One infinite loop. One $400 API bill later — you wish you'd built run supervision from the start. I'm teaching this on Oct 31. 4 hours, hands-on, Python only. → luma.com/qwhit9op

I'm running a live 4-hour workshop on Oct 31: Build an AI Data Analyst you can actually trust — MCP tools, guardrails, context management, fault tolerance. Laptop-only, framework-free Python. 🎃 Details + tickets: luma.com/qwhit9op

1/ Deeper on the one failure that actually ships: fabricated numbers. How an agent reports a 12% revenue drop that never exists, and the exact guardrail that stops it -

3/ Then it verifies: - value matches the query output - unit is right (not $12M reported as 12) - reporting period is complete LLM judging is reserved for clarity - not for 'is this number real.'

4/ The rest of the harness does the same job for the other failure modes: permissioned tools, context budgets, injection defense, retries, traces. It's a 4-hour hands-on build, framework-free, on a laptop. Sat Oct 31 - 19 days out: Register: luma.com/qwhit9op
