Developer and AI Architect insight

Evaluate Gemini 3.6 Flash not on token price alone but on task completion, retries and tool errors.

Use explicit state transitions with a coordinator; specialists must not escalate their own privileges. Keep network egress, credential vending and action policy behind deterministic gateways.

Issue short-lived, task-scoped credentials; do not give broad cloud tokens to an evaluation agent. Let memory and checkpoints live in integrity-protected, versioned stores with recovery points.

Test agent outputs at the artefact level through execution and probing. In robotics, the sim-to-real gap and physical safety tests must be measured. Before LangGraph or LangChain upgrades, test checkpoint compatibility, security and rollback.
