"Agentic infrastructure does not make your beer taste better," is Langchain's Harrison Chase borrowing a phrase from Jeff Bezos. Each of us should focus our own energy as much as possible on differentiated activities - and buy or outsource the rest. As we wrote a few weeks back, the rise of AI agents means that apps are now being built in a new way that will impose new requirements on the underlying infrastructure. Today, those developers are definitely doing lots of work that does not help the beer taste any better. It's because they have no choice. And in fact their apps won’t achieve their full potential if our industry fails to support them lower in the stack with a new set of AI agent infrastructure components. Happy to see TechCrunch covering the open questions and state of innovation in this fast-moving part of the GenAI ecosystem.
