AI Agent Architecture, Evaluation, and Operations
An AI agent needs more than a model and a tool list: its execution, evaluation, and recovery need clear boundaries. These guides connect agent architecture to measurable outcomes and controlled runtime environments. Start with the operating model, evaluate complete tasks, and review isolation for tool execution. Page 1 of 4.
Start with these guides
- LLM agents: architecture and production operations
Map LLM agent reasoning, tools, execution, evaluation, and release workflows to Polyaxon services, sandboxes, jobs, components, and DAGs.
- How to evaluate AI agents
A practical framework for evaluating AI agent outcomes, trajectories, tool use, safety, latency, and cost before and after release.
- Sandbox AI agents on Kubernetes
Design isolated Kubernetes execution for AI agents with a threat model, stronger runtimes, scoped identity, controlled egress, bounded storage, and auditable cleanup.
