The key lies in choosing the right architecture for the problem at hand. In this post, we'll explore recent developments in Large Language Models (LLMs) and discuss key concepts of AI systems.

Companies That Replaced Humans With AI Are Realizing Their Mistake

According to tech billionaire and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, 2025 was supposed to be the year "when AI agents will work." Despite widespread hype, so-called "AI agents" — a software product that's supposed to complete human-level tasks autonomously — have yet to live up to their name. As of April, even the best AI agent could only finish 24 percent of the jobs assigned to it.
