From LLM to AI Agent: What's the Real Journey Behind AI System Development?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-11 18:29:28

AI agents are a hot topic, but not every AI system needs to be one. While agents promise autonomy and decision-making power, simpler & more cost-saving solutions better serve many real-world use cases. 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. We've worked with LLMs across projects of varying complexity, from zero-shot prompting to chain-of-tho

wired.com Jake Lahut 2025-09-11 20:00:00

“Well,” a senior Democratic strategist tells me, “my wife and I are having a fight about me going back to the field in the midterms.” “I would be lying if I said these aren’t conversations I’ve been having with my family every day,” shared a Democratic candidate in a high-profile battleground state midterms race. In a matter of days, the truly unthinkable occurred: On Thursday last week, Senator Alex Padilla of California was forcibly removed from a news conference and handcuffed by officials

Why Some AI Models Spew 50 Times More Greenhouse Gas to Answer the Same Question

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-09-11 18:00:55

Like it or not, large language models have quickly become embedded into our lives. And due to their intense energy and water needs, they might also be causing us to spiral even faster into climate chaos. Some LLMs, though, might be releasing more planet-warming pollution than others, a new study finds. Queries made to some models generate up to 50 times more carbon emissions than others, according to a new study published in Frontiers in Communication. Unfortunately, and perhaps unsurprisingly,

It’s been over four years since Spotify first announced its plans to launch a lossless audio tier that has yet to arrive. After numerous leaks and teases from company execs, we know better than to start hoping that the long-delayed service could be finally nearing arrival. But newly added references in the music app’s code suggest the lossless service is at least still under development and could even be getting closer to launch.

Dotemu’s CEO wants to bring back classic games the right way

I grew up with arcade beat-em-ups like Konami’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time and X-Men. It was a genre I loved, so I was sad to see it diminish in relevance. Thankfully, beat-em-ups have had a revival, thanks in part to publishers like Dotemu and developers like Tribute Games. The two teamed up for 2022’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, a worthy successor to Turtles in Time. Now, they’re working on Marvel Cosmic Invasion.
