Eval Engineering

What happens when AI agents stop working alone and start working as a team?Artificial Intelligence is entering a new phase in which intelligent systems can do more than respond to individual instructions. Multiple specialized agents can collaborate, divide complex tasks, communicate with one another, use tools, evaluate results, and coordinate their actions toward a shared objective.Multi-Agent AI Systems: The Complete Handbook for Building Intelligent, Scalable, and Autonomous Agent Teams provides a practical roadmap for understanding this emerging paradigm.The book begins with the fundamentals of multi-agent systems and explains why collaboration between specialized agents can be valuable for complex workflows. Readers will learn about hierarchical, peer-to-peer, and hybrid architectures, along with roles such as manager, planner, worker, critic, and supervisor agents.It then moves into modern frameworks and technologies, including CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph, MetaGPT, LLMs, vector databases, and agent memory systems. Practical chapters explain how to design agent teams, decompose tasks, establish communication protocols, manage shared memory, coordinate workflows, integrate tools and APIs, and recover from failures.Readers will also explore advanced concepts such as dynamic replanning, parallel execution, swarm intelligence, agent debates, self-organizing systems, human-in-the-loop workflows, and multimodal agents.The book goes beyond experimentation and addresses the challenges of deploying multi-agent systems in real environments. Cloud deployment, Docker, Kubernetes, monitoring, logging, scaling, evaluation, benchmarking, testing, and cost optimization are included.Real-world applications demonstrate how agent teams can support software development, research, customer service, content creation, and business operations.Equally important, the book examines AI safety, privacy, security, transparency, governance, alignment, and responsible AI development.Whether you are a student discovering agentic AI, a developer building your first agent team, a researcher exploring collaborative intelligence, or a professional preparing for the next generation of AI applications, this book provides a foundation for moving from individual AI agents toward coordinated intelligent systems.Understand the architecture. Design the team. Build the agents. Coordinate the intelligence.

Your AI-generated code passes 18,000 tests and reports healthy — while entire data pipelines silently produce nothing. Silent Wiring names the failure mode nobody's tooling catches, and shows you how to find it before your users do.

AI can decide. That does not mean it is authorized to act. Governance Before Decision examines the missing control layer between intelligent systems and real-world consequences — where authority, scope, verification, and execution must meet.

What happens when AI moves beyond answering questions and begins to pursue goals?Agentic AI: The Rise of Autonomous, Goal-Driven Intelligence explores the emerging world of intelligent systems that can perceive, reason, plan, learn, collaborate, and act within defined environments.From the foundations of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems to robotics, finance, logistics, security, ethics, and future research, this book provides a structured journey through the rapidly evolving landscape of Agentic AI.Discover how goal-driven intelligence works, how autonomous agents make decisions, how multiple agents collaborate, and why safety, trust, accountability, and human oversight are essential to the future of autonomous systems.Understand the agents. Explore the architectures. Examine the applications. Think about the future.

A practical guide to evaluating small and local language models in the real world. Learn how to benchmark reliably, compare models across hardware and runtimes, optimize performance and avoid misleading results. With practical code and rigorous methods, you can build your own evaluation setup and make confident deployment decisions.

Build a fully functional semantic search engine from first principles using pure Python and NumPy—no heavy AI frameworks, no vector databases, just pure intuition and mathematics.

Specification Engineering turns complex ideas into clear, workable specifications. This practical guide takes you from core principles to advanced methods for defining, validating, managing and evolving requirements across products, software, systems and services. Built for real-world use, it gives you the tools to create specifications that people can understand and act on.

Vectors, embeddings, retrieval, agents, and evaluation are all built from first principles inside the chapter that needs them. No mathematics. No machine learning background. No prior AI experience and no framework knowledge is required. We build with plain Python and small, single-purpose libraries.  

Eight agents, zero coordination, one identical error. That's not a coincidence. It's a signature. Learn to read the five families of failure behaviors in multi-agent systems, reproduce each one in TypeScript, and turn every bias into a CI assertion before it ships.
