An agent can be thought of as a logical wrapper around an LLM, allowing us to add several features to our AI systems, primarily:

• Tool usage, such as calling APIs for info, executing code,


• Internal thoughts over multiple generation steps


• Ability to use various tools and reasoning steps to answer more complex queries.


• Parallel agents can go and complete

There's no magic here. If you use ML to t... See more
