Build Your Own AI Agent Harness in C#
Microsoft's Agent Framework Gets a Hands-On Tutorial Series in C# If you have ever built an AI agent from scratch, you know the pattern. You write a chat completion call, then realize you need a tool loop. Then history persistence...
Stealth Multimodal AI Model Matches Frontier Performance at a Fraction of Cost
An Anonymous Model Claims Frontier-Level Coding Performance at $1.50 Per Task Terminal-Bench 4.0 is one of the harder benchmarks in use right now. Hosted by Stanford, the Harbor framework, and the Laude Institute, it consists of 6...
I got tired of taking screenshots and explaining everything to AI agents
Deiko Turns Your Cursor and Voice Into a Prompt for Any Coding Agent The hardest part of working with an AI coding agent is not writing code. It is describing what is on your screen. You hover over a broken dropdown, glance at a c...
Insurance Agent Benchmark: 166 real-world cases for evaluating insurance AI
Insurance Document Benchmarks Reveal a Gap Between Model Accuracy and System Reliability When an AI agent reads an insurance document, the hard part is not the question. It is the file. A scanned ACORD application arrives with han...
