I gave them a quick scan and they seem to be making roughly the same point I was, which is encouraging to me ![]()
It seems like “agents” in general are a broad enough concept as to be effectively turing complete - i.e. there is no wake to make an “agent framework”, because agents are just code. And not only that, but at least for the time being running large models on your own servers is not cost-effective unless you have massive scale, and even then you would want as much multitenancy as possible within your own systems, so that forcing function doesn’t go away. In practice I think even large orgs will have to disaggregate their “ai compute” from their application compute, like we do with databases and storage, for the foreseeable future.
It seems like the one bit of tooling we still need is, well, tooling for tool calls. The impetus for this post was that there was another post on here about a ruby library called rubyllm which I thought looked like a fantastic model for how we could implement that functionality.
I am curious, though: is anyone on here working on an application (an agent) in this space, as opposed to libraries and frameworks? I am curious to hear people’s experiences with this.
