Adaptive Recommenders in the Real World: Inference, Evals, and System Design

Mallika Rao explains that the true complexity of adaptive recommendation systems lies outside model architecture. She discusses how real-time feedback loops, retrieval freshness, multi-stage orchestration, and end-to-end latency budgeting enable systems to continuously learn and evolve in production under real-world operational constraints like latency, cost, and observability.

Securing AI Agents: Identity, Authorization, and the DPACT Framework

In this episode, Sahil Agarwal talks about the critical challenges of identity, authorisation, and security in the age of AI agents. Sahil introduces the DPACT framework (Delegation, Policy, Auditability, Context, and Time) as a blueprint for building responsible, guardrailed agentic systems, moving away from simple token-based access toward bounded, delegated authority.
