Reuven Cohen, founder of the Agentics Foundation and creator of Claude Flow, explores the transformative potential of agentic engineering. He reveals why 2025 is dubbed the 'Year of the Agent' and discusses how the discipline is evolving from niche to mainstream. The conversation dives into the challenges of AI-washing in big corporations, the intricate balance of speed, quality, and cost in agent-based development, and how community-driven efforts can safeguard innovation against corporate dominance.

Episode notes
Recursion Is The Agentic Breakthrough
- Agentic systems gained power from recursion: feeding errors, logs, and results back into agents to create context-aware loops.
- That feedback loop lets agents detect and fix code errors autonomously over long runs.
Pricing Made Long-Running Agents Practical
- A cost-capability inflection hit when Claude Code offered flat-rate token access, collapsing multi-thousand-dollar runs to affordable monthly fees.
- That pricing unlocked long-running swarms and made agentic development economically viable at scale.
From ChatGPT Prompt To 100k+ Community
- Reuven followed early ChatGPT guidance to build a subreddit, weekly livecasts, and public code, which grew into a 100k+ community.
- That community and public artifacts turned into consulting clients and Fortune 500 customers.
