Data-driven insights from 25 trillion tokens on AI agent adoption, extremely relevant to AI agent orchestration.
Summary
Brendan O'Leary discusses how real-world AI adoption depends on building trust rather than chasing model benchmarks. Drawing from 40 trillion tokens of usage data, he explains the four rungs of the AI adoption ladder and analyzes key failure points in context construction, multi-model routing, and feedback loops to help engineering leaders successfully scale agentic workflows.
