The Rise of the Deep Agent: What’s Inside Your Coding Agent

AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor are rapidly evolving from simple autocomplete assistants into autonomous, multi-step problem solvers. While adoption is accelerating across millions of developers, most custom agent projects still struggle to reach production. What separates experimental builds from reliable systems?
This session, presented by SambaNova, dives into the foundations of Deep Agent Architecture and explains what makes a “deep agent” fundamentally different from a traditional chatbot or basic LLM chain. You’ll gain a clear understanding of the structural patterns that power modern coding agents – and why orchestration, memory, tools, evaluation, and agent skills form the backbone of production-ready AI agents.
Through practical examples and a live demo, you’ll see how advanced agents decide what to do next, maintain long-term context, and coordinate multiple components without losing track. You’ll also learn a structured 6-step development process designed to help teams design, evaluate, and deploy agents with confidence.
By the end of the session, you’ll have both a strong conceptual framework and actionable guidance for implementing Deep Agent Architecture in real-world AI systems.
