  • Awesome content

    I love how it’s very real problems vs marketing narrative. You guys fit that in with the bite size commercial breaks, which I find to be a better style. Awesome work! Keep the great content coming!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

D2DO317: Building the Operational Reality for Sandboxed Agents in Production (Sponsored)
Q: What is sandboxing do beyond those tools? How does that help me audit and lock these guys in so they don't get on the news, like we've been seeing for the past few months from all the big AI companies?
Michael Levan says containerization alone may leave agents with broad network access. He recommends defense in depth: deny access by default, allow only necessary connections through controlled gateways, and assess whether isolation is software-level or backed by micro-VM hardware boundaries.
D2DO317: Building the Operational Reality for Sandboxed Agents in Production (Sponsored)
Q: How, when you think about agentic workloads, how is it different than running it with an IDE or OpenClaw?
Michael Levan says the core difference is where the agent runs. An orchestrated runtime can preserve sessions in a database, provide logs, traces, and metrics, and offer isolated sandboxes, unlike a local session that can be lost if the computer fails.
D2DO318: Navigating Open-Source Model Providers
Q: How quickly are you testing those models and adding them to your repertoire of available models?
Moustafa often investigates new models the day he hears about them. He checks independent benchmark results, compares intelligence, cost per task, and speed, then runs further evaluations before considering production use.
D2DO318: Navigating Open-Source Model Providers
Q: What behaviors are you seeing that are different, and how do you control for that?
Moustafa attributes provider differences to hardware choices, parser quality, proprietary optimizations, and configuration. He tests providers across repeated tasks and monitors them in production for latency, errors, and expected behavior.
D2DO316: Local AI Foundations
Q: How can you tell if a model that you go find and want to run on your own hardware in your own network on your very expensive machine that you can't replace for the same cost anymore because RAM is so expensive? How do you know that it is not actually a crypto miner? How do you know that it's safe?
There is no certain way to know, so Bellavance recommends using reputable publishers and protecting the harness or software that connects the model to tools and actions.
