Talk "Give the Model a Computer: The One Thing Every AI Agent Framework Agrees On"
🎤 Mislav Ivanda, DeEx Engineer at Daytona
Outline:
Building an agent is easy. Deciding where its code runs is the part that follows you to production.
This talk comes from a year of building Daytona integrations across the agent ecosystem: LangChain, CrewAI, Google ADK, Mastra, Pydantic AI, the OpenAI Agents SDK, and a long tail behind them. Integration after integration, the same pattern kept surfacing. Frameworks that agree on nothing, not even the language, not the mental model, not who controls the flow, all converge on one identical primitive: give the model a computer. We'll trace why.
Every framework ends up facing the same question: where does the model's code actually run? Only three answers exist, and two of them stop holding once real users show up. That's why the past year went the way it did, with frameworks deleting their own code interpreters rather than defending defaults they couldn't. And that's why the computer keeps growing: first a tool call, then the place the agent lives, then a thousand machines at once.
You'll leave with one rule: pick the boundary before the framework. Frameworks are opinions. The boundary is a commitment.
