i think you miss the part about the loop. you're still building software for the past/current world. when you have chains of agents working seamlessly, where agents are managed by themselves (like spawning a new chain to do some scope of work), and it just sort of works on a infinite game loop, your system continually keeps improving as it works. at least, that is the goal with the systems i like to build. you have to do your due diligence, obviously, as you would with any TOOL you use. in that case it means having specific goals, methodologies, etc. that each model has to follow. (if one is a "hey grok explain this" type of person when it comes to using ai, ngmi) we have one agentic workflow where there are 4 different models that can be spawned (to handle tasks of various complexity), that work against an API (the source of truth). their goal is to work any time a specific file is uploaded, and handle it. it is a complicated file, with 1000s of line items, with varying amounts of uncertainty involved. it happens in the real world today, where it costs $xxx,xxx per year to do. because it involves many people and companies... it is done totally manually today.. how it works in order to get to that resolution is different based on the complexity of the task... sometimes there's bad data in the mix because people make mistakes when they create stuff (we're not special). in this case it requires finding out whether it is indeed bad data or actually correct. that requires setting up a scheduled job, and handling it when there is a resolution. i don't code this part. how this gets accomplished... the agents are able to work autonomously to handle any edge case, in order to complete the goal. the goal in this case is to ultimately record transactions (a goal of a business is to make money, believe it or not). does this not make sense? jeez hacker news used to be an imaginative place. the model that we pay $10-20 per 1M tokens will be $1 per 1M token next year. And the model next year that we can pay $10-20 per 1M token will be even better than Astra and Terra/Sol/Luna. It is an exciting time.
