This week on Mixture of Experts, host Tim Hwang is joined by Mihai Criveti, Olivia Buzek and Akash Srivastava. First, with companies running hundreds of ungoverned agents, we discuss why observability, policy enforcement, and kill switches are non-negotiable. We discuss the enterprise agent explosion and the...

Agent control planes & OpenAI model solves Erdős

 Mixture of Experts 

[SPEAKER_02] We actually have a saying that building agents is easy, everything else that comes after is hard. You've built it, now it's a problem. You have to manage it. All that and more on today's Mixture of Experts.

[SPEAKER_01] I'm Tim Huang and welcome to Mixture of Experts. Each week MOE brings together a group of the sharpest thinkers working in artificial intelligence to walk you through the week's news. On this week's episode, we've got Mihai Kravetti, Distinguished Engineer, Chief Architect, Watson X Orchestrate. We've got Olivia Buzek, Staff AI Engineer, and Akash Srivastava, Director and Technical Lead for Agent Ops, IBM Core AI, and PI at the MIT IBM Lab. Welcome to you all. Thanks for joining.

[SPEAKER_01] We've got three big stories that we're going to cover today. We're going to talk a little bit about the Erdős problem that was solved by OpenAI. We're going to talk a little bit about an interesting study on frontier risks from AI from a group called Meter. But first we want to talk a little bit about Agent Ops and the agentic control plane. So there's been a bunch of work that's been happening that Mihai and Akash have been involved in around Agent Ops and specifically the Watson X agentic control plane.

[SPEAKER_01] And so, Mihai, maybe let's start with you. I guess I was promised in our agentic future that agents would kind of take care of themselves, that I'd just be able to be like, I need a new app, go program it for me. And it would just sort of do that. I guess maybe a first place to start is you're working on something called the agentic control plane. Why do we even need a control plane for agents in the first place?
