Agents

Chip Huyen · 1 year ago

Intelligent agents built on foundation models can perceive environments and act through tools to accomplish multi-step tasks like website creation, data gathering, and trip planning. Agent accuracy decreases with task complexity, dropping from 95% per step to 60% over 10 steps and 0.6% over 100 steps, requiring more powerful models. Agent success depends on tool access and planning capability, with tools providing knowledge augmentation, capability extension, and environmental action.
