Hi everyone
Sharing a follow-up thought from the Barie team, building on what we discussed earlier around reliability-first AI.

As we ve gone deeper into agent design, one thing has become very clear: most failures don t come from bad models. They come from fragile systems around the model.

Context leaks.
Assumptions pile up.
Tools execute before understanding is complete.

In many agent setups today, the model is asked to reason, decide, and act in one tight loop. That s fast, but it s also where things quietly go wrong. Small misunderstandings compound into confident but incorrect actions.
