The Rise of AI Agents

The emergence of AI agents marks a new era in technology, where systems can act on user commands autonomously. The discussion highlights the tension between genuine open-source models and those labeled as such by companies like Meta, which releases only portions of their AI. The importance of defining 'openness' in the context of AI is emphasized, with the suggestion that clearer terms like 'open-ish' could be more appropriate. As AI continues to evolve, the balance between accessibility and security remains a critical point for industry stakeholders.
