Last week I attended an outstanding presentation by my colleague Robert Himmelmann on “Cell-based Architectures” – one of the most insightful deep-dives I’ve experienced on advanced resilience patterns.

Rob’s talk abstract perfectly captured the essence: “Cell-based architectures are an advanced resilience pattern. Cells create a bulkhead pattern, limiting the impact of potential failures and using linear scale out at all layers of the architecture. In this presentation you will learn about the fundamentals of cell-based architectures and dive deep on one example. We will finish by discussing advanced patterns to cover diverse use cases.”

Yesterday I had the pleasure to listen to and discuss with my colleagues Sviatoslav Redko and Viacheslav Romanov during their talk “Cryptography in the Quantum Age: Starting Now.” They guided us through the future of data security with insights on quantum-resistant cryptography.

🔍 What We Explored:

1️⃣ The impact of quantum computing on traditional encryption 2️⃣ Vulnerabilities in current cryptographic systems 3️⃣ Post-quantum solutions emerging in the industry 4️⃣ Latest NIST standards and important industry collaborations 5️⃣ Security strategies specifically designed for cloud users 6️⃣ Roadmap for making workloads quantum-safe

Writing this early morning in Seattle with a much-needed cup of coffee - currently at an exciting ML conference and spent my long flight diving into this eye-opening conversation between Andrej Karpathy (ex-Tesla AI Director, OpenAI) and the amazing podcast host Dwarkesh Patel in the Dwarkesh Podcast [1]. His insights offer crucial guidance for tech and business folks navigating AI adoption.

Yesterday I was listening to a talk by Martin Sakowski and Martin Karrer “REST in Peace - Why LLMs Can’t CRUD” which sparked a lot of interesting discussion. 💭

🤖 They observed that even with the rise of MCP, AI Agents often struggle to master their given tasks reliably, consistently, and in an efficient way—driving costs and potentially failing projects.

Let’s start the week with a fascinating philosophical question, shall we? Easy start in the week 😜

🍂 During this autumn weekend in Germany, I’ve had plenty of time for deep diving into research. My reading of “The Multiple Paths to Multiple Life” by Christopher P. Kempes and David C. Krakauer was inspired by another captivating episode of the Machine Learning Street Talk (MLST) podcast.

Do You Know What Your AI Agents Are Doing? Lost Control? 🤔

While having a 2nd coffee - to be honest, it’s the third already as days are long at #MTM25 - I’m reflecting on what has been top of mind for the participants I’ve met here so far. They share two things: curiosity and fear. 🔍

Curiosity to learn about new technology and figure out what’s possible with it.

Fear of losing control and having to deal with a black box that gives them no way to understand what’s happening inside. How it achieves the results it delivers. No way to explain why these results and not others. 💭
