About
LatentMesh is independent research by Karthik Mahalingam on how AI agents make decisions.
Background
I'm an engineering leader at Microsoft with 19+ years of experience building systems at scale. I lead engineering in Purview Data Lifecycle Management, building retention, compliance, and governance services for large enterprise environments.
Over the past several years my focus has moved toward AI: agent systems, evaluation pipelines, retrieval architectures, and compliance automation. That background shapes how I approach AI: not only as a model problem, but as a systems problem.
Research
Most work on AI focuses on what models can do. I'm more interested in what happens once an agent is deployed and has to act: which decision it made, how confident it was, and whether anyone can check that later.
LatentMesh approaches that from two directions: making agent decisions fast enough to score directly, and making them verifiable after the fact. Blitz is the first public research preview of that work.
