The gap is a runtime — the shared execution layer that handles model routing, tool authorization, long-context state, memory, and fallback. Here is what it takes to run one at scale.</description><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>agents</category><category>ai-platform</category><category>runtime</category><category>llm</category><category>production</category></item><item><title>From 86% to 97%: engineering evidence retrieval for compliance agents</title><link>https://kforcode.dev/blog/evidence-retrieval-86-to-97/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://kforcode.dev/blog/evidence-retrieval-86-to-97/</guid><description>Compliance answers are only trustworthy if every claim cites the right evidence.
