Lesson

What Actually Happens When Anthropic Goes Down?

When Claude has an outage, dozens of AI tools degrade at once while their own status pages stay green. What an upstream provider outage looks like, why it's so confusing to debug, and how to tell in seconds whether it's you, your tool, or the model underneath.

Lesson

Prompt injection & AI security

Why an agent cannot tell your instructions from text it just read, and how to contain it.

Lesson

What are AI evals?

Measure whether AI output is actually good. The verify gate, applied at scale.

Reference

Build your own agentic OS
