At Databricks they’re responsible for the creation, care, and feeding of the AI agents we have in production. As these start to perform real use cases, you have to ensure they’re actually delivering the outcomes they were designed to do… and don’t drift.

Who’s going out of the gate first, Anthropic or Space X. Sequencing probably matters more than it should.

Are dates set for this one or Space X? Who will “ring the bell first”, so to speak. I think the sequencing here matters more than it should.
