LLM Powered Autonomous Agents

Great introduction to building autonomous agents using LLMs. In an LLM-powered autonomous agent system, the LLM functions as the agent’s brain and is complemented by components for planning, memory, and tool use. The post explores strategies, methodologies, and algorithms for each component with lots of references along the way.

Order Constraints in Bayes Models

In Bayesian modeling, order constraints refer to restrictions imposed on the relationships between a model’s parameters. These constraints help to incorporate prior knowledge and assumptions into the model. This tutorial walks through a practical example and shows how order constraints are useful and how to use them using the {brms} package.
