Deterministic beneath Stochastic
https://proddingais.substack.com/p/deterministic-beneath-stochastic ↗If you’re building agentic systems, it’s tempting to use stochastic AI for all the steps in your process.
Gator verdict: approved
Hard-won technical writeup lane: a builder with clear skin in agentic systems lays out a specific, experience-grounded argument for keeping deterministic layers distinct from stochastic ones, with real examples (letta vs mem0/graphiti, DAG workflows, property-based testing) and actionable takeaways.
