Term Definition
Reliability Layer
A dedicated infrastructure tier that sits between the AI agent and the LLM, managing state, persistence, and failure recovery.
Full Explanation
Just as databases are the 'persistence layer' for traditional apps, the Reliability Layer is the persistence and safety layer for agents. It handles the 'ground truth' of what the agent has done, independent of the LLM's probabilistic reasoning.
Why it Matters
It bridges the gap between the probabilistic nature of LLMs and the deterministic requirements of production software.
