Why eval scores stop predicting production, and how to fix the data side.

Most agent evals score behavior and never check whether the data the agent read matches what production would have served. How to lock an entire agent trajectory to one moment in history, and when it isn't worth doing.

How to test AI agents against production data

How I’m using Chalk Sandboxes, Functions, and Volumes to rethink how I code alongside my agents

Coding agents changed how engineers work. With Chalk, teams can launch configurable remote workspaces, bring preferred tools, and work alongside coding agents. Scoped access keeps credentials separate from a laptop, while shared storage and durable PR artifacts preserve useful results without keeping every experiment.

A self-improving AI agent is an AI system that learns from the results of its own work and changes how it handles future tasks. It sets a goal, takes action, checks the outcome, and keeps the changes that make its results better. Some agents improve by remembering lessons, some by testing strategies against each other, and some by rewriting their own code or retraining their model. The hard part is proving that a change helped, which is why every self-improving agent needs reliable tests.

What Is a Self-Improving Agent? A Simple Guide

Chalk sponsored HackHarvard, a 36-hour undergraduate hackathon. Chalk challenged students to build an agent that runs on real-world or contextual data, then show evidence that it does what they claim.

How Grid uses Chalk to accelerate model training and create continuous improvement

Chalk Model Gateway is an OpenAI-compatible model gateway that runs inside your existing Chalk deployment, in your own cloud. Fallbacks, budgets, rate limits, judge-based routing and tracing, with your provider keys and your model traffic never leaving your environment. No third-party gateway in the path, and no second service for your team to operate.

At The AI Conference 2026, production AI teams asked how to keep agents accurate, cost-efficient, and governed under concurrent load. We shared what an agent stack needs to get there.

What it takes to give a model a usable picture of a few thousand accounts.

Chalk GTM Engineering built a working memory for every account Chalk has touched: defined, queryable fields a model can read instead of reconstructing thousands of histories. The same argument Chalk makes to customers, run on our own go-to-market data.

We built a Slack agent on Chalk Sandboxes that can reach Zerocater, Slack and OpenAI, and nothing else. Then we tried to make it leak. Network policies and auth injection held.

A workspace for agentic ML. Your agent investigates against the data your models actually see, and the notebook it leaves behind is the evidence you review before deciding what ships.

Introducing Chalk Notebooks: where your ML agent does its work

Chalk MCP Server connects AI agents directly to the Chalk primitives your team already uses and Chalk Assistant brings that agent inside the Chalk interface.

Introducing Chalk MCP Server and Chalk Assistant: Run Agentic Machine Learning on Chalk

Agents now run the modeling loop end to end. What decides whether you can trust it is the data layer underneath.

What is Agentic Machine Learning?

Why real-time, windowed context beats static retrieval for agents — illustrated with a poker example that becomes a fraud detector.

Context Has a Timestamp

Why agents fail on live decisions, and the system that fixes it.

An agent only knows what's in its prompt. A context engine computes the values that describe a customer's situation right now and assembles them at inference time, so the agent stops guessing at facts the business already has.

What Is a Feature Store in Machine Learning?

A feature store is more than a tool – it is a secret weapon that empowers teams to innovate faster, collaborate better, and deliver production grade machine learning.

A hundred people, one new headquarters, and a lot of competitive mahjong. Chalk's San Francisco office is officially open.

Chalk celebrated the opening of its new San Francisco headquarters with 100+ engineers and builders from the Bay Area AI and ML infrastructure community.

Welcome Home, West Coast

We're celebrating our new office — and the timing couldn't be better. We've got a packed spring ahead, from Snowflake Summit to AI Council and more.

Chalk's Spring Fling is its most ambitious events season yet. From an SF office warming party to Bronze sponsorship at AI Council, a first-time presence at Snowflake Summit (booth #2611, June 1–4), and something in the works at Databricks Data & AI Summit, Chalk is showing up everywhere AI and data infrastructure is being built.

Learn what data drift is in machine learning, how it differs from concept and model drift, and how teams detect and manage drift in production ML systems.

What Is Data Drift in Machine Learning (and How to Detect It)

Most feature stores are built around batch pipelines and materialized storage, which creates an inherent freshness ceiling. Tightening staleness settings cannot overcome architectural limits. This article explains why traditional feature stores struggle with real-time freshness and how a compute-first approach enables on-demand feature computation, lower latency, and improved correctness for time-sensitive ML use cases like fraud detection and underwriting.
