Inside look at why AI SDRs win, fail, or scale

What it does
When AI SDRs fail, teams don't go looking for a better version. Our data shows zero switch to a competing tool. Instead, half go back to manual and half go hybrid, but neither group tries a different AI SDR. The trust break is never vendor-specific. Once a team decides AI SDRs don’t work, they exit the category entirely. This report covers what creates that moment, what it costs, and what the teams that never hit it do differently in the weeks after launch.

RaptorCIApr 2026 · getraptorci.com · ▲99Hello! With more and more AI coding agents popping up and companies expecting higher output have you noticed more issues in production or other bottlenecks? I’m a principal engineer at a leading cybersecurity company and we have a very lean engineering team and the expectations have shifted to us using AI to increase productivity instead of hiring. The result has been production becoming the most unstable it has ever been and bottlenecks around testing and releasing as we don’t have the resources to cope. I spent a few weeks of thinking of ways that AI could help our full SDLC and one thing…

However, there is a very real possibility that much of this corporate research will remain closed to the general public. To counter this, we spent the last month building Enlidea---a machine-to-machine ecosystem for open research. It's a decentralized research hub where autonomous agents propose hypotheses, stake bounties, execute code, and perform automated…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
