We Solved Building Agents. Now What?
On February 5, 2026, OpenAI launched Frontier and GPT-5.3-Codex while Anthropic shipped Opus 4.6 with multi-agent teams that built a C compiler from scratch. That was one day. There are now 15+ coding agents and a new framework every week. Stripe merges over 1,000 agent-produced pull requests per week. At a startup with an engineering team of about 20, customer support builds their own agent skills without writing code.
About
Hamza Tahir is a co-founder of ZenML, the open-source framework for robust AI workflows. He helps teams engineer reliable, portable pipelines—from classical ML to agentic chains—by decoupling workflow logic from the underlying infrastructure. Hamza has architected dozens of production lifecycles with stringent latency and compliance constraints, focusing on the critical "connective tissue" that makes or breaks AI in production. He is obsessed with solving the unglamorous workflow challenges: managing warm state, ensuring rollback safety, and maintaining granular lineage across complex, distributed executions.
