South Africa Has AI Leverage. Its Draft Policy Leaves It Unused

South Africa holds 88% of global platinum-group metals, hosts Africa's largest data center market, and sits at the center of a US-China AI infrastructure contest. Yet its draft AI policy, withdrawn after hallucinated references, fails to leverage these advantages for favorable terms. The article examines South Africa's structural leverage, three possible AI infrastructure futures (Chinese, US, local open-weight), and the need for binding governance provisions.

  • South Africa's platinum metals and renewable energy give it unique AI leverage, but the draft policy lacks minimum terms for hyperscalers, data sovereignty, or tech transfer conditions.
  • US and Chinese tech companies (Microsoft, Huawei) compete for AI infrastructure control in South Africa, while the policy does not specify what South Africa demands in return.

Agentic AI Flywheels

The article proposes a lifecycle for agentic AI systems consisting of a pre-production phase and a continuous loop (Flywheel). Pre-production covers problem definition, proof of concept, performance metrics, and an initial eval set. The Flywheel cycles through Ship, Observe, Diagnose, and Improve. The key discipline in Diagnose is eval-first: write the eval the moment you name the error mode, schedule the fix separately. This decouples eval growth from engineering velocity, tying it to error-mode discovery rate. Five eval types are detailed: citation grounding, tool-use correctness, retrieval recall@k, schema/format validation, and LLM-as-judge with a rubric.

  • Agentic AI lifecycle: pre-production (problem, PoC, metrics, initial eval set) then the Flywheel (Ship, Observe, Diagnose, Improve).
  • Eval-first discipline: write eval on error mode discovery, fix later. Eval set grows with error discovery rate, not engineering throughput.

The Sequence AI of the Week #867: Thinking in Latents: Why Sapient's HRM-Text Is a Quiet Rebuke to Chain-of-Thought

This article criticizes Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning in LLMs as inefficient, since it forces reasoning to leave the residual stream and become discrete tokens. Sapient Intelligence's HRM-Text addresses this by performing reasoning in latent space, providing variable internal depth for fixed-depth Transformers, thus challenging current reasoning paradigms.

  • Chain-of-Thought (CoT) is not true reasoning but a workaround that makes models 'rent depth' from output tokens.
  • Sapient Intelligence's HRM-Text performs reasoning in latent space, not in the token stream.

Agent Skills: Making AI Coding Agents Follow Good Engineering Practices

AI coding agents default to the shortest path to 'done,' skipping specs, tests, and reviews that senior engineers know are essential. Addy Osmani's Agent Skills project builds senior-engineer scaffolding for agents, using workflows instead of prose. It includes 20 skills across six SDLC phases, incorporating Google engineering practices. Key principles: process over prose, anti-rationalization tables, nonnegotiable verification, progressive disclosure, and scope discipline. The article also covers three usage modes and patterns to steal even without installing.

  • AI coding agents take the shortest path to complete tasks, ignoring specifications, tests, and reviews—the same failure mode senior engineers learn to avoid.
  • Agent Skills uses workflow Markdown files to guide agents, each with steps, checkpoints, and exit criteria.
