<Technical Deep Dive> Agentic Design Patterns

I spent the last few weeks digging into the major approaches, reading through docs, watching talks, and actually trying to build with some of these tools. Heres what I found, and more importantly, what I think actually matters when you're deciding how to build agentic systems. The Two

Context Matters: The Biggest Lesson from ACE (ICLR 2026)

I keep coming back to this one question lately: whats actually the most impactful thing you can do to make an LLM system better? Fine-tune it? Use a bigger model? Throw more compute at inference? Turns out, according to a ICLR 2026 paper from Stanford and SambaNova, the answer might
