## AI overview

Jonathan Frankle argues that frontier language models have advanced faster than the infrastructure needed to specify, test, and deploy them reliably. The discussion emphasizes requirements, evaluation, composable tools, context strategies, retrieval, and prompts as parameters.

## Source excerpt

Jonathan Frankle on why frontier models outran our ability to specify, evaluate, and curate, and what that means for design leaders shipping agentic systems. The metaphor lands because it names the embarrassment. On his return to Invisible Machines, a conversation recorded last summer, Jonathan Frankle, Chief AI Scientist at Databricks and head of Mosaic Research, The post Nuclear Fusion, No Power Lines appeared first on UX Magazine.
