- Engage enterprise customers to surface real-world agentic failures and translate findings into concrete product and model requirements.

- Partner with the agentic expert modeling team to define goals that maximize the impact of our models and prioritize model capabilities and evals most critical for delivering on those goals.

## Requirements
