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

Context Engineering for Agents

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-18 13:56:20

Lance Martin TL;DR Agents need context to perform tasks. Context engineering is the art and science of filling the context window with just the right information at each step of an agent’s trajectory. In this post, I group context engineering into a few common strategies seen across many popular agents today. Context Engineering As Andrej Karpathy puts it, LLMs are like a new kind of operating system. The LLM is like the CPU and its context window is like the RAM, serving as the model’s work

It's safe to say there's a lot riding on "artificial intelligence," a buzzy and nebulous swath of the tech industry pedaling all kinds of large language model (LLM) and similar software products. Since ChatGPT emerged in November 2022, venture capitalist investments in AI have skyrocketed, rising to $131.5 billion in 2024, an increase of 52 percent compared to 2023.

Don’t let hype about AI agents get ahead of reality

technologyreview.com Yoav Shoham 2025-08-23 15:00:00

Let’s start with the term “agent” itself. Right now, it’s being slapped on everything from simple scripts to sophisticated AI workflows. There’s no shared definition, which leaves plenty of room for companies to market basic automation as something much more advanced. That kind of “agentwashing” doesn’t just confuse customers; it invites disappointment. We don’t necessarily need a rigid standard, but we do need clearer expectations about what these systems are supposed to do, how autonomously th
