    <lastmod>2026-03-12</lastmod>
    <content:description>The AI industry uses "model," "agent," and "orchestrator" interchangeably — but the distinctions matter. Walks through the hierarchy from language models to full orchestration layers, explores multi-model architectures, the "write skills, not agents" pattern from Claude Code's Boris Cherny, three principles of context engineering, and why giving agents a way to verify their own work may be the single highest-impact improvement.</content:description>

    <content:description>Part 2 completes the AI Periodic Table framework covering production Systems (agents, knowledge bases, thinking models, frameworks, observability, red teaming, RLHF) and Emerging elements (multi-agent, synthetic data, diffusion LLMs, interpretability, alignment, A2A). Shows how elements combine into chemical reactions and explains the deliberate gaps that predict what AI still needs to solve.</content:description>

    <content:description>AI has a vocabulary problem — everyone says "agent," nobody means the same thing. Part 1 proposes a periodic table of AI elements organized by abstraction level and functional concern. Covers tokenization, attention, embeddings, prompts, RAG, MCP, LoRA, guardrails, and more.</content:description>
