How I would define an AI agent at the start of 2025: In abstract, a piece of software that can achieve a certain goal, and uses AI to navigate the fuzzy path of achieving that goal. More specifically, a combination of - Goal - Context management - Underlying model - Tools (datastores and functions with effects) - Prompting & self-prompting strategies (including delegating to other agents) Example: A geocoding agent Goal: Parse content from a sentence and geocode it Context Management: Trimmed sliding window. We only need the very most recent messages to get the job done. Underlying model: A simple model like 4o mini is more than enough Tools: A function to search cities with inbuilt query match ranking, and a function with access to a Google Maps geocoding API Prompting: Single turn. The agent should be able to get the job done in a single exchange, or ask the user to clarify the location if needed

I’m so glad to live in an era where world leaders and global superpowers are actively throwing memes at each other for everyone to see https://x.com/medvedevrussiae/status/1930906615336636737?s=46&t=heYf7m0kaq62UF_MFK0e6g

Some humour. Everyone is scared about AI taking developers jobs. Meanwhile, builder.ai scandal proves that humans can take jobs from the AIs

Amazing moment with claude-4-sonnet in Cursor today. It built a front end feature with backend integration, but then most surprising, tool the initiative of adding in an API test. Loving this new era we live in

Remember the 2010s where many startups had an “AI matchmaking algorithm” which was a spreadsheet with a really good VLOOKUP? Builder.ai which was valued 1.5Bn and recently went into administration, was apparently using outsourced developers in India to help deliver on its “no code AI platform”

Who here has found the elusive shape of an API request to Gemini via the OpenAI client for tool calling? I’ve been able to get structured outputs working, but tool calls are eluding me with a friendly 400 error and no information

Answer: Figured out langsmith is a good way to go. It provides observability on your calls, and pricing data across model providers

Question; How on earth do you get token usage stats for Gemini API? UX feels way more complicated than it needs to be

Patched my 5 year old JBL Flip 5 speaker firmware from v0.3 to v0.5.6 today. Power on/off bugs and pairing issues gone. PSA to keep your dependencies up to date.
