How autonomous agents broke two decades of capacity planning — and what to build instead The post Three Generations of Autoscaling — And Why Agentic Traffic Breaks All of Them appeared first on Towards Data Science .
The hidden cost of asynchronous systems, how tiny CPU tasks quietly became our biggest bottleneck while scaling hundreds of LLM agents. The post Why Adding More AI Agents Made Our System Slower appeared first on Towards Data Science .
The article titled "Is Agentic AI Just Automation?" argues that many so‑called agents are merely flowcharts in disguise. It explains why this misconception exists and suggests what kinds of systems should be built instead to achieve true agentic AI.
What our over-dependence on external consulting teaches us about delegating our minds to machines The post The Big Con of Agentic AI appeared first on Towards Data Science .
The article "How to Solve the Right Problem in the Age of Agentic AI" presents a practical framework aimed at reducing uncertainty before agents accelerate implementation. It offers guidance on identifying and addressing the most relevant problems in the context of increasingly autonomous AI systems.
How to set the rules that keep agents effective and out of trouble The post What AI Agents Should Never Do on Their Own appeared first on Towards Data Science .
arXiv:2607. 07397v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous agents promise substantial gains in speed, scale, and labor efficiency, but their failures can impose abrupt and often irreversible costs.
The article discusses how agentic AI is reshaping the analytics stack by taking over more execution tasks. It raises the question of which responsibilities should remain with human analysts versus AI agents and explores the importance of this distinction. The piece highlights the evolving role of AI in analytics and the need to define clear boundaries between human and machine work.

Building an ALNS heuristic in Python for vehicle routing, time windows, capacity constraints, and mandatory driver breaks. The post Los Movimientos, Part II: Solving Large Pickup-and-Delivery Problems with Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search appeared first on Towards Data Science .
The article "Where the Agent Development Lifecycle Fits" discusses how to coordinate the development of agent capabilities with the applications they power. It highlights the importance of aligning agent creation processes with the needs of the end‑use cases they support. The piece appears on Towards Data Science and focuses on integrating agent development into broader application workflows.
Using mathematical optimization to solve a pickup-and-delivery problem with time windows. The post “Los Movimientos”: The Routing Problem That Nearly Broke My Spirit appeared first on Towards Data Science .
The article explores the effects of removing a search box from an AI agent and instead providing it with typed tools, hard bounds, and a gate that it cannot bypass. It examines how the agent navigates a knowledge graph within strict limits and discusses findings from four models and one incorrect prediction regarding the value of this approach.
