This is first post in a series about the design and implementation of Bytebot . Give us a star on our open source repo . We’re still in the early innings of AI agents. There are hundreds of companies building wrappers around LLMs, trying to make them more useful; more tool-aware, more stateful, more capable of completing tasks across applications. But most of them are barking up the same tree: they’re building agents that work by connecting APIs and tools in structured ways. Bytebot was born o

Just Ask for Generalization (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Eric Jang 2026-02-07 08:31:17

Generalizing to what you want may be easier than optimizing directly for what you want. We might even ask for "consciousness". This blog post outlines a key engineering principle I’ve come to believe strongly in for building general AI systems with deep learning. This principle guides my present-day research tastes and day-to-day design choices in building large-scale, general-purpose ML systems.

Optimizing Tool Selection for LLM Workflows with Differentiable Programming

Modern agentic architectures rely heavily on chaining LLM calls. A typical pattern looks like: Use an LLM to decide which tool to invoke Call the tool (e.g. search, calculator, API) Use another LLM call to interpret the result and generate a final response This structure is easy to reason about, simple to prototype, and generalizes well. But it scales poorly. Each LLM call incurs latency, cost, and token overhead. More subtly, it compounds context: every step includes not only the original q

In a surprise trend of the year, a growing number of communities are using apps like Ring Neighbors and Nextdoor to discuss and track ICE immigration raids. These security apps and associated security cams and video doorbells weren't exactly intended to follow federal agents, but it's proven to be a popular effort in areas like California. While law enforcement retains the ability to request home security videos with a warrant, they aren't used to being on the receiving end of this technology.

I don’t often get asked about the phones I’m testing when I’m out and about, unless it’s a folding phone. Then I usually hear some version of the same thing: “Oh, I thought about getting one of those! But then I just got a [insert slab-style phone name here].” My anecdotal data matches the actual sales figures; there are many more people curious about folding phones than there are buyers of folding phones.
