Issues to addressView All
I-3Silent exception handler catches all errors and terminates research without loggingQualityMar 28

deep_researcher.py line 334 uses `or True` in an is_token_limit_exceeded check, causing every exception to silently end the research phase. Users receive incomplete reports with no indication of failure.

I-2Tool name lookup crashes on hallucinated tool calls with unhandled KeyErrorVerificationMar 28

When the LLM calls a tool name not in the tools_by_name dictionary, a KeyError propagates inside asyncio.gather() and crashes the researcher. Especially likely with MCP tool conflicts.

I-1Citation numbers reset per section and conflict in the merged final reportQualityMar 28

Each section writer numbers citations from [1]. compile_final_report joins sections without renumbering, so citation [1] appears in every section pointing to a different source.

I-4Supervisor loop has no application-level turn limit and crashes at platform recursion guardVerificationMar 27

The supervisor routing function continues solely based on whether the LLM produced tool calls. When overproduced, the run terminates at LangGraph's recursion guard with a hard exception and no partial output.

I-5Token limit model map is hardcoded and missing recent model entriesArchitectureMar 27

utils.py maintains a static dictionary of model context windows with a comment that it may be out of date. Returns None for unknown models, causing compression retry logic to fail silently.

Foundation models improve for everyone.
Your edge is the engineering around them.

Systems, not just models

Modern AI products have become compound systems composed of multiple models, orchestration logic, context resources, guardrails, all interacting and introducing failure points that are hard to trace.

This is where your real differentiation lives: not in the model, but in the engineering around it.

Foundation models

The model is no longer the bottleneck.
The system around it is.

The discipline is still being invented. New models rewrite requirements, tooling is experimental, and today's practices may be deprecated before the next quarter. Staying at the frontier is the only edge that compounds.

The System Loop
Frontier Practices · Emerging patterns · Model releases

Most teams review their architecture once at launch, if at all. Introspection runs it continuously, assessing your system against frontier practices as your models change, your tooling evolves, and the field moves under you. Every gap becomes a tracked issue with a drafted improvement for review.

The Data Loop
User Feedback · Reasoning Traces · Agent Failures

Introspection reads what's actually happening in production: silent tool failures, context confusion compounding across turns, user frustration that never surfaces in a dashboard. It clusters signals, investigates traces, and turns every finding into a tracked issue with a drafted fix.

How it runs

Runs on your terms.
Deploys in any infrastructure.

Human-in-the-loop

Improvements come through your existing review process. Agents draft, your team approves.

Frontier labs don't just build better models, they continuously improve the end-to-end system.

Introspection gives your team the same compounding edge, applied continuously to your systems.

Stay at the frontier.
