How Aible on Dell AI Factory Enables Predictable AI at Scale
Dell, Thursday, September 10th, 2026
A Minimum Viable Agency approach aims to hold AI costs and risk predictable as deployments scale.
Dell describes running Aible on the Dell AI Factory using what Aible calls a Minimum Viable Agency approach, granting agents the least autonomy needed for a task in order to keep costs and risk predictable as deployments scale.
The concept is a useful counterweight to the prevailing direction of travel, where agent autonomy is treated as a capability to maximize. Constraining agency deliberately is both a cost control, since bounded tasks consume bounded tokens, and a risk control.
