Over the past two years, most developers have interacted with AI through chat interfaces. Prompt in, answer out. Useful, impressive, but fundamenta...

This article nails something many teams still underestimate: scaling AI is not a model problem, it’s a governance and architecture problem. Frontier feels less like an AI product and more like an opinionated platform that forces discipline around agents.
Exactly. Once agents have persistent identity and scoped permissions, they stop being “clever prompts” and start behaving like production services. That shift alone explains why most early enterprise AI pilots never made it past experimentation.
This reads almost like an argument for treating AI agents as infrastructure, not product features. That’s a big mindset shift for product teams.
Yes, and probably a necessary one. Product teams optimize for speed and UX, but agents touch systems and data. That’s infrastructure territory whether teams like it or not.
Exactly. The moment an agent can take action, you’re in platform engineering land, not feature development.
Frontier feels opinionated in a good way. It seems to force architectural discipline that many teams try to avoid. I wonder how many orgs are actually ready for that level of structure.
Probably fewer than think they are. Most companies say they want AI at scale, but aren’t prepared to own the operational complexity that comes with it.
And that’s fine. Frontier isn’t for experimentation. It’s for organizations that already understand the cost of running production systems.
I like the platform angle, but I’m skeptical about shared context. In large orgs, shared context often becomes stale or politicized. How do you prevent agents from inheriting bad assumptions?
That’s a real risk. Shared context needs versioning and ownership, just like code. Without that, agents will absolutely propagate outdated or incorrect mental models.
This is where observability matters. If you can’t see why an agent made a decision, shared context becomes a liability instead of a feature.
