Distributed Manufacturing's Real Test: Balancing Proximity, Demand, and Inventory

Bigger meant better for most of the industrial era. Large factories made standardized goods at scale, warehouses held the inventory, and global logistics moved everything to the customer. That model is giving ground to highly automated microfactories, which use digital files and software-controlled production to make goods near the point of demand, in quantities that track it.

Agent-to-Agent Commerce: When Buyer Bots Meet Seller Bots

AI agents are starting to handle B2B commerce end to end, sourcing suppliers, comparing terms, and now, negotiating directly with other agents. This issue covers a four-stage maturity model for agentic commerce, an identity framework built for machine counterparties, and the mechanics of agent-to-agent negotiation. It also looks at the academic debate over whether AI pricing agents actually collude, and what that means for a market moving faster than its safeguards.
