Getting a little bit meta here
One personal project I've been working on involves different ways of conveying "high quality visual output" to various AI models and generative systems, ideally have them loop internally before showing me the output. Prompt engineering, training style models, creating visual datasets, creating metrics for key qualities if they exist, looking for consistency, and seeing if I can make the process agentic, and check it's own quality. I created a lot of documentation around a system I was using that mapped traditional animation qualities to AI agent roles as a start. With some of the latest models and tools I've been using, I'm starting to see more of this kind of thing rolled in. It's really noticable when an AI improves it's abilites, and when it's visual, I am always so happy, and then I just have more questions.
I aways follow the fun and for me thats creating visuals images and getting the answers to my visual creation related questions which can only be done through practice. So, I am usually in that mode, but I'm trying to share more of the answers along the way, even if they are presented in an experimental or rougher format than usual.
So, here's a glimpse into the some of the interesting answers I have compiled and pulled out of Perplexity. The interesting thing about these and why I see value in publishing them is to also to further look at them as training datasets for agentic AI in a fast way. So, I can point it to the page as reference to build on. It doesn't have to be perfect to be a tool to build on.
That's why I ended up using Blogger for it. It's one of those tools that is pretty unbundled if you want, and you can quickly add a variety of things at the front-end code level and know it's not going to be wrapped in some other code, so you can visualize interactions a little more, etc, etc.
Pointing agentic AI tools to content represents a bit of design technique change overall in an evolution from the past. There's a lot of ways to design with AI, and I've been deep into exploring them for a few years. I look at what you can do easier or how it changes your approach. I'm conscious of design habits and seeing how they might change with new capabilities. It's all interesting to me as a visual designer, creative, and dev person.
Comprehensive Framework for Testing End-to-End Agent Rerouting Based on Quality
This report synthesizes methodologies from network testing, AI agent orchestration, and quality assurance systems to present a structured approach for validating agent rerouting logic in complex workflows. Drawing from recent advancements in agentic systems[1][2][3], traffic simulation[4], and test automation[5][6], we outline a multi-layered verification strategy that ensures reliable quality-based routing decisions.
Core Testing Components
1. Simulation Environment Architecture
Dual-Agent Monitoring Framework
Implement bidirectional monitoring inspired by ThousandEyes' agent-to-agent testing model[7], where:
Failure Injection System
Adapt Paragon Planner's network simulation capabilities[9] to agent workflows:
class FailureSimulator:
def __init__(self, agent_graph):
self.failure_modes = {
'single_agent': lambda: random.choice(agent_graph.nodes),
'cascade_failure': lambda: random.sample(agent_graph.nodes, k=3),
'handoff_failure': lambda: random.choice(agent_graph.edges)
}
def inject_failure(self, mode: str):
target = self.failure_modes[mode]()
agent_graph.apply_failure(target)
This enables testing 78 distinct failure scenarios observed in production agent systems[4][10].
2. Quality Metric Instrumentation
Real-Time Scoring Pipeline
Implement the Coherence Matrix[Original Blog] as distributed scoring service:
Metric | Collection Method | Threshold |
Style Adherence | CLIP embedding cosine similarity | |
Motion Believability | Optical flow variance analysis | ≤0.2px/frame[4] |
Handoff Completeness | Context vector overlap | ≥90%[3] |
Adaptive Threshold Adjustment
Utilize Emergence's self-optimizing architecture[1] to dynamically update thresholds:
$ Threshold_{new} = Threshold_{current} \times (1 + \frac{A_{success} - T_{target}}{T_{target}}) $
Where $ A_{success} $ is recent success rate and $ T_{target} $ is 95% SLA.
3. Rerouting Logic Validation
LangGraph Workflow Testing
Extend the LangGraph evaluation framework[11] with quality-aware transitions:
def quality_aware_edges(state: StateGraph):
if state['quality_score'] < 0.8:
return "retry_agent"
elif 0.8 <= state['quality_score'] < 0.9:
return "escalate_agent"
else:
return "next_stage"
