It’s still around, and tends to be adopted by big enterprises. It’s generally a decent product, but is facing a lot of equally powerful competition and is very expensive.

“When an LLM can generate a working high-quality implementation in a single try, that is called one-shotting. This is the most efficient form of LLM programming.” This is a good article, but misses one of the most important advances this ye

Oh, so _that_ is what a sub-agent is. I have been wondering about that for a while now!

Likewise. I have a nasty feeling that most AI agent deployments happen with nothing more than some cursory manual testing. Going with the ‘vibes’ (to coin an over used term in the industry).

> We find testing and evals to be the hardest problem here … I wonder what this means for the agents that people are deploying into production? Are they tested at all? Or just manual ad-hoc testing? Sounds risky!

Neat! Really like this, and will be interesting to see how it tracks over time. My only concern is the scale you have selected as we are already close to 100, are you going to have to allow it to be ‘turned up to 11’ at some point?

Thanks Simon - you asked us to share patterns that work. Coincidentally I just finished writing up this post: https://blog.scottlogic.com/2025/10/06/delegating-grunt-work... Using AI Agents to implement UI au

I agree with the overall sentiment here, having written something similar recently: “LLMs don’t know what they don’t know” https://blog.scottlogic.com/2025/03/06/llms-dont-know-what-t... But I wouldn’t say it

I had a car from the same era, the Boomerang, similar in style but 4WD: https://randomcompetitions.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/... Absolutely loved that car, used it for hours and hours every week.

Oh wow, so cool to meet someone who used an app I wrote 25 years ago. Great to hear from you and congrats on the prize!

Very cool. I actually created a shareware application that rendered Photomosaics 25 years ago! Here is a link to "Mosaic Magic" from the Wayback Engine: https://web.archive.org/web/20010405175706/http:&#x

until some of the significant flaws of agents are addressed (hallucination, explainability, bias), I'm not really all that interested in extending this model further. Agentic AI definitely works for software engineering because we have

There are so many prompting guides at the moment. Personally I think they are quite unnecessary. If you take the time to use these tools, build familiarity with them and the way they work, the prompt you should use becomes quite obvious.

Thanks for sharing pmabanugo, a couple of those posts are new to me too. If you’re taking submissions, I’ve been exploring how to make the most of these tools for the past few months, here’s my latest post: https://blog.scottlogi

Great post, thanks for sharing. I wrote something similar a couple of years ago, showing just how simple it is to work with LLMs directly rather than through LangChain, adding tool use etc … https://blog.scottlogic.com/2023&

Agreed, embeddings are a very useful tool. Started using them for article recommendations on our blog a few years ago, with a measured increase in engagement: https://blog.scottlogic.com/2022/02/23/word-embedd
