agents

Agents are the big thing if you look everywhere. Every now and again there comes along a technology that takes the world by storm. Or at least the tech world anyway. Before it has been mobile, cloud, crypto, AI and a myriad of other things. And now it is Agents. Building on the LLMs of the past few years these are ways of doing work with that technology. Doing work does not need and often is not a useful thing though. Most probably are just burning tokens or spinning against nothing. But a lot of new technologies appear nothing more useful than a toy before becoming useful. We’re at the toy stage of agents right now. Maybe some are doing useful work with it but a lot are doing not a whole lot. There’s nothing wrong with that though, we’re at the experimentation stage where these things are not yet very useful but do still show promise or flashes of brilliance.
