The emerging agent architecture

This post outlines Glean's strategic approach to building an open and horizontal agent architecture. It details the evolution of the agent stack, emphasizing the importance of context engineering, model agnosticism, robust orchestration, unified security, and diverse interfaces. Key technical concepts discussed include the role of context graphs, the separation of context from models to prevent vendor lock-in, the economics of frontier model development, and the feedback loop between context and orchestration for reliable automation. The post highlights the shift from individual agent experiments to operating hundreds of agents within an organization, requiring a scalable and interoperable foundation.
