Five New Disciplines, One Page
A one-liner going around X yesterday landed a little too well: prompt engineering became context engineering, then harness, then loop, and now graph engineering, and every new label gets treated like a revolution. In plain terms: prompting is what you ask, context is how much you show, a harness is the wiring around the model (tools, verification gates, output contracts), a loop feeds results back in until something passes, and a graph pins those steps into nodes and edges. All five are useful, and we use all five. But five names do not make five problems. What usually multiplies is the number of line items on your invoice.

What this means for ThakiCloud
One lesson stuck with us: what survives a renaming cycle is not the label, it’s owning the wiring underneath it. Paxis is the orchestrator that fans work out to many agents and closes each result with a verification gate. Harness, loop, graph — under every one of those words, that is the actual job: attach tools, catch failures, retry. Metis is the platform that wiring runs on, and we run it inside the customer’s own facility. On-prem means it executes on hardware you own; sovereignty means the model, the data, and the infrastructure stay under your control. This comic is a product of that same wiring. Picking the story, drafting the script, rendering the panels, cutting the video — all of it runs in our pipeline. So when a sixth name shows up next quarter, we won’t be moving house for it.
