Episode notes
Defining AI Agents
- Agents are LLMs that decide an application's control flow, choosing actions dynamically.
- This differs from fixed chains, where steps are pre-defined.
Agent Spectrum
- Agents exist on a spectrum, from simple control flow decisions to full autonomy.
- LangChain focuses on the middle ground, offering more control than chains but less than fully autonomous agents.
AutoGPT Hype Cycle
- AutoGPT and BabyAGI initially generated excitement but ultimately fell short of expectations.
- Practical agents require more custom, constrained architectures tailored to specific business needs.
