Your agent has a hundred tools and still forgets everything. Why context windows are not memory, what to persist, and the retrieval boundary that fixes recall.
Letting an agent touch production needs blast-radius limits, not trust. The guardrails to set first, the failure modes they stop, and where to keep a human.
Fine-tuning rarely fails on hyperparameters. The quality gates that catch a lying dataset before you pay for a training run, and when RAG is the cheaper answer.
Jentic One keeps API keys out of agent prompts by injecting them at a broker gate. A hands-on install: the real failure modes, release/docs drift, and where a sandbox pilot starts.
Running local LLMs on 96GB Blackwell: which models fit, vLLM against SGLang, the throughput you actually get, and the places the setup quietly falls over.
An AI video pipeline is not a prompt. The queue, the retries, the VRAM ceiling and the failure modes that decide whether self-hosting is cheaper than an API.
Multi-token prediction cut our latency, then quietly corrupted tool calls. What MTP does, how the failure presented, and the settings that made it safe again.
How this site works: named operator scenarios, direct verdicts, sourced costs, named failure modes, a 30-day test, and the rule that no claim ships unsourced.
