1. LangChain Argues Improving Agents Is a Data Mining Problem

LangChain. LangChain’s Vivek Trivedy argues that improving production agents is fundamentally a trace-mining problem, framing every continual-learning company as an observability company. The post describes a loop of harness engineering followed by fine-tuning (SFT, RL, or DPO) and back to harness engineering, using evaluations as training data and open-source models as cost-effective “trace judges” to process large volumes of execution logs. It positions LangSmith Engine as the automation layer for trace analysis, issue detection, and code generation to drive that loop. Source

2. Schneider Electric Details Enterprise LLMOps Built on LangSmith

LangChain. Schneider Electric described building enterprise LLMOps infrastructure on a self-hosted LangSmith instance running on AWS EKS to support more than 60 deployed agents, using one workspace per AI product so production traces feed back into development datasets. The post details a three-pillar approach of observability, evaluation (including an offline evaluation accelerator, an LLMOps maturity framework, and custom LangSmith roles for subject-matter-expert annotation), and per-product deployment via LangSmith’s Agent Server with Postgres and Redis rather than a centralized runtime. It reads as a reference architecture for scaling agents across a large enterprise. Source
