💡 ML Concept of the Day: A Summary of Our Long Series About Autonomous Agents and a New Series AnnouncementToday, we conclude our series about autonomous agents. This has been one of TheSequence’s most ambitious series. Over the last weeks, we had covered some of the fundamental concepts, research and technology in the autonomous agents space. I hope this has contributed to your understanding of this new space. Autonomous agents are one of those concepts that everyone has a different definition for. In AI theory, an autonomous agent is an AI program with the ability to execute actions in their environment. This contrasts with basic models that can produce outputs but not modify the environment. Although action taking is a key theoretical component for autonomous agents its hardly sufficient. Other relevant capabilities are key building blocks of autonomous agents in the LLM era:
Different frameworks have outlined different feature sets for autonomous agents. However, there are a few building block that can be consistently considered as a strong foundation of any autonomous agent application. Most of the capabilities of autonomous agents can be considered variations of the following key areas:
Let’s recap the contents of this series:
19 installments! I really hope you enjoyed it. For the next series, we will dive into one of the hottest topics in generative AI: state space models(SSMs) and whether they are a viable alternative to transformers.
