Levie Argues Evals Will Gate Enterprise Adoption of AI Agents

Box CEO Aaron Levie argues enterprises cannot automate work they cannot measure, so evals are essential for adopting AI agents. He says domain-specific evals will become a major opportunity, and a quoted post notes data labeling firms expect Fortune 1000 customers to drive revenue and company evals may become proprietary IP.

You can’t automate what you can’t measure. This means that evals are one of the gates to diffusion of AI in the enterprise.

We can test our deterministic processes through software, but most enterprises have no useful way of understanding how their non-deterministic processes are working today. Specifically the work that agents are doing for them.

Evals are mission critical for enterprises adopting AI because you have no other way of knowing what’s working, what’s broken, what changed, what improved, what you can do more of, etc. if you don’t have a good sense of how agents work in your environment today. All changes, upgrades, and deployments are downstream from good evals.

Not only are we going to get vastly more domain specific evals over time for the labs and across the industry, but every enterprise will also need a clear sense of how agents are performing in their environment as well. Huge opportunity.
Alex Lieberman @businessbarista
Just spoke to one of the big data labeling businesses.

Few interesting insights:
- They predict the majority of their revenue will come from Fortune 1000 enterprises, not labs in a few years
- They believe every company will want to own their intelligence, but owning intelligence does not necessarily mean using open source models
- A company’s evals will become their main proprietary IP given the improvement in agent performance after properly setting up & running internal eval environments
- Most enterprises haven’t graduated from coding agents and it’s largely due to not having the proper e…

We’re building Copilot as a new OS for work that spans every model, every form factor, and every task. Today, we’re announcing our biggest update to Copilot to date, bringing four things together:

· Autopilot: proactive and long-running agent built for the enterprise
· Code: build apps with Copilot, hosted inside your company’s tenant
· Home: Chat + Cowork together
· Office: now fully embedded in Copilot (and Copilot embedded in Office, of course!)

Plus, you can invoke Copilot in Teams, and we’re introducing Today, a proactive experience that surfaces the most important information from across M365 without needing to ask for it.

The way we work is changing and so are our workflows. This update brings AI into that flow, from answering a question, to building an app, to getting work done on your behalf.

Excited to introduce @Cosign: the curated professional network for the startup community: cosign.co

Our goal is to create the following:

- A comprehensive startup directory of investors, companies, and operators, including what they worked on and who they worked on it with.

- Cosign graph: Who shaped your career? Who were you actually in the trenches with? Who would work with you again? Who thinks you’re someone to watch?

- Durable reputation: Great endorsements happen every day on X and disappear into the feed. Cosign attaches those signals permanently to people and companies.

- Discovery: Who are the best fintech angels? Which AI companies should I watch? Who are the best designers?

- Intent network: Privately signal “I’d invest in them,” “I’d hire them,” “I’d work with them,” or eventually even “I’d acquire this company.” Match people when interest exists on both sides.

Imagine if Wikipedia, LinkedIn, and OG AngelList had a baby. Though Cosign is a community, not a business.

In order to join, you need to be cosigned. Or you can apply directly.

David Booth and I started this idea 7 years ago but didn’t have the firepower to make it work. Now we do.

No one has really touched LinkedIn in 20 years. Excited to take a swing.

Puneet Patwari Outlines Path to Senior Distributed Systems Career

Amazon Principal Engineer Puneet Patwari describes compensation for L5 and L6 engineers and offers a learning path for distributed systems: mastering fundamentals, building systems with real tradeoffs, and reverse-engineering engineering blogs from major tech companies.

Puneet Patwari @system_monarch · ·♥ liked
Original post · 3 min read
At Amazon, a strong L5 with 7 to 8 years of experience can cross ₹1 Cr+ CTC. At L6, compensation can go well beyond ₹1.5 Cr+ depending on team, location, stock, and level.

But the interesting part is not just the money.
Look at why recruiters reach out for these roles.

It is because their background shows they understand hard systems, and they have enough proof of work that people can see it.

Today I am a Principal Engineer, but if I were starting in distributed systems from scratch and wanted to turn that skill into career leverage, this is exactly how I would do it.

[1] Build the fundamentals before touching big scale

I would first get comfortable with the building blocks:
→ networking and request lifecycle
→ databases, indexes, transactions
→ caching
→ queues and async processing
→ replication
→ sharding
→ consistency
→ retries, idempotency, backpressure
→ observability and failure handling

Basically, have the understanding to see what happens when one normal backend service gets slower, busier, or partially unavailable.

[2] Build systems where the tradeoffs come into the picture.

Do not only watch architecture videos.
Build things.

Start with:
→ URL shortener
→ rate limiter
→ notification service
→ job scheduler
→ file upload system
→ search service
→ payment workflow

Then deliberately make them harder.
– What happens at 10x traffic?”
– What if Redis dies?”
– What if the same event arrives twice?”
– What if one shard becomes hot?”

[3] Read engineering blogs and reverse-engineer decisions

Uber, Netflix, Stripe, Discord, Cloudflare, LinkedIn, Meta, Amazon.
There’s golden material out there.

While reading, ask yourself:
– Why did they choose this?
– What was breaking before?
– What tradeoff did they accept?
– What new problem did their solution create?

That is how engineers actually learn architecture.

[4] Put your thinking in public

This part is massively underrated.
Write about what you learn.

Publish:
→ design breakdowns
→ architecture diagrams
→ GitHub projects
→ incident analyses
→ open-source contributions
→ performance experiments

Build enough public proof that when someone searches your name, they can tell what kind of engineer you are.

That is when learning starts compounding.

You study distributed systems to become better at engineering.
Then that knowledge helps you design better systems.
Those systems give you better stories.
Those stories become public proof.

And eventually, opportunities start finding you instead of you constantly chasing them.

That is the leverage.

Lauren Argues Coding Is Dead but Programming Is Reborn With AI

Coding is dead, long live Coding

A long X article by Lauren argues that coding as a loved craft is ending, but that AI will let a new generation build faster and at higher quality, quoting Thorsten Ball on craft disappearing. The author reflects on their self-taught programming roots and optimism about abundance.

X ArticleCoding is dead, long live Coding
To my friends mourning the loss of their most loved activity, I feel your pain. I got into programming as a hobby, my first introductions to it being in high school and discovering the <marquee> tag. Ever since that joyful discovery, I couldn't stop myself from making things, tinkering, and looking forward to the thrill of solving the next problem. I would pore over every line of code, thinking hard about how to make my programs more elegant, performant, even beautiful.
I think @thorstenball put it best:
"The craft of writing code will disappear. Yes, there are still Italian shoe makers around. But look at your feet."
As beneficiaries of AI, we owe everything to the people that came before us: the people who discovered, engineered, and created the knowledge and civilization that we now live in and build on top of. Just look around you. Even everyday, ordinary things were brought to life by someone who was passionate about solving a problem. Those people are now mourning the loss of that tactile feeling of solving a problem with nothing more than your own hands and the knowledge built upon the shoulders of giants.
Coding is dead, but yet coding still lives on in the weights of the models we now use, the frameworks we build with, and the programming languages we write with. We should not shame the people who mourn because we owe everything to them. And yet, while others mourn, we can also rejoice. Personally, as a self taught programmer, I am thrilled at the thought of more people discovering the joy of building things. While it might be tempting to think that the automation of coding is the end of things, I think it's a new beginning, where a new generation of programmers using natural language to express their intent and goals will build things faster and at a higher quality than we could ever produce by hand.
It might not seem like it's possible right now. But I believe it will. Builders using AI will produce things we could never do before.

And that abundance will be glorious! If anything, I feel more love for programming than I ever did before. What I used to be limited in by my own ability, I can now will into existence if I can figure out the right incantations, the right prompts and context, to drive an agent towards the vision I see so clearly in my head.
So while some might say that they're "excited to see what you build" with empty feelings, I want to believe that many of us are truly excited at what people who've never experienced the joy of building can do.
I can't wait to see what you build!

Gokul Rajaram Says Exceptional Founders Carry Contrarian, Obsessive Traits

Investor Gokul Rajaram argues that exceptional founders are contrarian and obsessed to the point of unhealthiness, traits that drive vision but strain trust, delegation and personal relationships. The post quotes a longer interview on Tech Fit Talks.

Exceptional founders possess two traits that look like weaknesses but are actually strengths.

First, they are contrarian thinkers. They challenge everything: investors, employees, customers, conventional wisdom. That contrarian energy is what lets them see around corners and push through resistance. But the same trait makes them hard to work with, slow to trust, and sometimes unable to delegate.

Second, they are obsessed, to the edge of sanity. The best founders are consumed by the problem in a way that looks unhealthy to normal people. They don't clock out. They don't have hobbies in the conventional sense. That intensity compounds, but it also burns people around them and can mask real personal costs. The best founders I've worked with have an almost unhealthy attachment to being right about their vision of the world. They can't let it go. They'll sacrifice money, relationships, comfort, sleep, all of it, because something inside them needs to see this thing exist.

Chinese students just found the best way to use JEV for any LLM or AI agent - released a PDF research

the shift: I pasted it into Claude and GPT - and cut my costs by~63х

here’s what they found across 44 benchmarks:

1 → 7,193 responses, 10 types of failure. Jev was tested on hallucinations, prompt injections, data leaks, and other AI failures

2 → One simple question worked: 0.886 median AUROC, beating trained baselines on 25 of 31 benchmarks without task-specific training

3 → Context beat clever prompting - give Jev the source or rule it needs to check the answer against

4 → Keep the probability, not just "yes" or "no" - Fitting a threshold on 10 labeled examples raised median F1 from 0.706 to 0.793

5 → Among the 50% most confident decisions, median accuracy reached 0.933 - send uncertain cases for another review

6 → Jev even helped uncover labeling errors in three benchmarks. Sometimes the test’s "correct answer" was the problem

7 → 11.4 questions per call, with 0.31-second median latency - on 19 benchmarks, checking cost $0.30 vs $18.96 with LLM judges - roughly 63× cheaper

the result: It will made your setup CHEAPER and FASTER than what 95% of people are running

Copy the Jev setup researchers tested across 44 benchmarks - then read the full Jev architecture ↓

Shyam Sekhar Criticizes Boards Opposing Principal Shareholders

Shyam Sekhar argues that corporate boards waging war against principal shareholders in the name of governance is self-serving and damages the nation's image, reacting to a post titled 'The Owners Will Always Remain Owners.'

A brilliant piece no journalist even attempted to write.

My two cents.

Boards over reaching themselves in the name of independence and governance is tragi-comic. In the name of governance, you cannot perpetuate your self interest by waging a war against the principal Shareholder itself.

If our entire system remains a mute spectator to this circus and believes this is statescraft , the Nation's image itself will be affected.

If four pygmies get so much power simply because a person who was not exactly in his mind picked and put them there, imagine what we have brought ourselves to?

THE OWNERS WILL ALWAYS REMAIN OWNERS

Put the chair down!
Because if you dont, your name will outlive your legacy - not as a chairman, but as a verb. And the promoters will ask themselves only one question this leaves behind

Who could do a Chandra on you?

It’s so good to have AI bring the outside perspective to the amazing accomplishment of western culture.

Set it to your local anthem, play it in every school once a week.
