Essays from Soba Labs on agentic workflows, operating state, knowledge systems, and the craft of getting AI into real business processes.https://sobalabs.ai/en-ushttps://sobalabs.ai/blog/context-engineering-in-deep-agents/https://sobalabs.ai/blog/context-engineering-in-deep-agents/A deep agent's ceiling is its context window. The harness ships four separate levers, and knowing which one is working decides whether a long run finishes.Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://sobalabs.ai/blog/deep-agents-in-production/https://sobalabs.ai/blog/deep-agents-in-production/LangChain's deepagents harness ships planning, subagents, and a filesystem out of the box. Production still asks you to own the human gate, the evals, and the cost.Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://sobalabs.ai/blog/halving-claude-code-token-usage-with-rtk/https://sobalabs.ai/blog/halving-claude-code-token-usage-with-rtk/We routed our coding agents' shell commands through RTK AI, an open source CLI proxy. Verified result: 49.6% of tokens saved across 1,457 commands.Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://sobalabs.ai/blog/deterministic-confidence-gates/https://sobalabs.ai/blog/deterministic-confidence-gates/Self-reported LLM confidence is miscalibrated and clusters near certainty. Gate on a signal you can measure, then escalate the exceptions to a person.Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://sobalabs.ai/blog/coding-is-no-longer-the-bottleneck/https://sobalabs.ai/blog/coding-is-no-longer-the-bottleneck/AI made writing code cheap. Architecture, verification, security, and quality are the new constraints, and that is where the real work moved.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT
