QCon AI Boston: Production AI Moves Beyond Prompts to Platforms, Harnesses, and Evals
QCon AI Boston 2026 addressed a critical shift: Production AI moving beyond initial prompt-based exploration to robust platforms, harnessed agents, and rigorous evaluations. The conference centered on the operational challenges of deploying AI agents at scale, emphasizing improved context management and robust security measures—including a "harness" approach to contain agent access. Attendees explored a comprehensive engineering model for AI, recognizing the need for mature infrastructure. For further insight into agent security concerns, see our recent article, "The agent security gap."
