Sandesh Rao shared this🚀 Interesting discussions from AI Engineer World's Fair 2026, and one thing is becoming increasingly clear: We're moving beyond the era of models. We're entering the era of AI systems 🤖 🔹 Agents > Chatbots . The conversation has shifted from "How good is your LLM?" to "How reliably can your agents execute work?" Multi-agent orchestration 🤝, tool use 🛠️, planning 🧩, and autonomous workflows ⚡ dominated technical discussions 🔹 🧠 Memory is becoming the next competitive advantage Long-term memory, episodic memory, semantic memory, and enterprise knowledge grounding are no longer research topics , they're becoming foundational for production AI systems. 👉 An agent without memory is just a stateless assistant. 👉 An agent with trusted memory becomes a true digital teammate 🔹 📏 Evaluation is the new testing Traditional software testing isn't enough for agentic applications. Teams are investing heavily in: ✅ Evaluation frameworks ✅ Observability ✅ Guardrails ✅ Continuous validation 🔹 🏗️ Infrastructure is quietly becoming the differentiator The winning AI platforms won't just offer the best models. They'll provide the best infrastructure for: 🔐 Identity & Security 🛡️ Governance 🧠 Memory 🔗 Enterprise data connectivity ⚙️ Orchestration 📊 Observability Oracle is focusing on the enterprise layer that organizations actually need to operationalize AI. We recently introduced Private AI Agent Factory as a compelling example: ✅ Build enterprise AI agents without exposing sensitive business data 🔒 Keep AI inside enterprise security boundaries 📂 Ground agents in structured and unstructured enterprise knowledge 🔗 Connect agents to databases, documents, APIs, and MCP servers 👨💼 Enable human-in-the-loop governance ⚡ Run agentic flows where the data already lives instead of moving it This aligns with a broader industry trend: ➡️ Models are becoming commodities. ➡️ Enterprise context is becoming the moat. ➡️ Trusted memory + secure data access + orchestration are becoming the new platform. 💬 Curious to hear from others who attended or followed the conference: What capability do you think will define the next generation of enterprise AI? 🧠 Memory? 🤝 Multi-agent orchestration? 🔒 Security & governance? 📏 Evaluation? 🔗 MCP & interoperability? 🚀 Or something else? 👇 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts Casius Sibanda Lee Richmond Alake Girdhari Ghantiyala Tara Van Cleave Nacho Martínez Rincón Arjun Upadhyay Girish Adiga Rohan Aggarwal Douglas Hood Kumar G.

Sandesh Rao liked thisSandesh Rao liked thisUsed to play cricket against Saurabh Naresh Netravalkar in Oracle corporate matches. Yesterday I watched him play in front of 10,000 people at the Major League Cricket final in Oakland, CA. Growing up, cricket was home. Sachin. Kapil Dev. 1983. Everyone just knew when a match was on. Walking into that stadium yesterday, I saw jerseys from every IPL team you can imagine. Mumbai Indians. CSK. RCB. People who came to this country and never let go of the game they grew up with, showing up in Oakland on a Sunday carrying their loyalties with them. And right there among them, American kids chanting LAKR like they had grown up with the sport. Ricky Ponting on the sideline coaching. Saurabh on the pitch playing. It was a surreal experience. Cant wait for the next edition of the MLC! Great to experience this with Chaitanya Upadhyay, Richa Pandey, Anshul Agarwal, and Nikhil B.. Cricket is finding its home here. And it brought everything with it. Congratulations to the LA Knight Riders on the 4th MLC title. And to Saurabh Naresh Netravalkar and the Washington Freedom, great tournament. #MajorLeagueCricket #MLCFinal #LAKnightRiders #WashingtonFreedom #Cricket #Oakland #IPL
