AI Planning and Orchestration Systems: AI21 Labs Introduces a New Approach to AI Accuracy

This IDC Market Note highlights AI21 Labs' introduction of a novel approach to agent orchestration and planning to enhance the accuracy and reliability of generative and agentic AI systems. This approach addresses the nondeterministic nature of large language and reasoning models through offline simulations and a budget-aware approach, ensuring optimal planning and execution. This new method aims to overcome the limitations of traditional orchestration approaches, offering a more dynamic and trustworthy solution for agentic AI systems."We need to get to a point where generative AI and agentic systems behave more like deterministic systems," said Tim Law, research director, AI and Automation at IDC. "Vendors like AI21 Labs are addressing unreliability and unpredictability at all layers of the stack, including advanced planning and budget-aware approaches for reliable, scalable AI."
