Bold claim. I am not convinced anyone's done a good job defining agents and if they did 99% of the population has a different interpretation.

Okay. We've tried to define agents. Now let's try to define orchestration.

And make it more complicated than K8s

My two takeaways is you build 1) Having a precise vision of what you want to achieve 2) Being able to control / steer AI towards that vision

Teams that can do both of these things, especially #1 will move much faster. Even if they are wrong its better than vague ideas that get applause but not customers

I like Andrew Ng. He's like the Mister Rogers of AI. I always listen when he has something to say.

Is he affiliated with nghttp?

No?

ng*, ng-*, or *-ng is typically "Next Generation" in software nomenclature. Or, star trek (TNG). Alternatively, "ng-" is also from angular-js.

Ng in Andrew Ng is just his name, like Wu in Chinese.

A good chunk of Ng's work these days seems to be around AI Fund [0] which he explicitly mentioned in the video, in the first 5 seconds, involves co-founding these startups and being in the weeds with the initial development.

Additionally, he does engage pretty closely with the teams behind the content of his deeplearning.ai lectures and does make sure he has a deep understanding of the products these companies are highlighting.

He certainly is a businessman, but that doesn't exlcudethe possibility that he remains highly knowledgeable about this space.

He's lost credibility in my eyes given that his courses essentially have a pay to play model for startups like langchain

Except they aren't pay to play unless you consider doing the work for the course the "payment". There's certainly an exchange since there is a lot of work involved, but DLAI provides a team to help design, structure and polish the course and then the team creating the course does the majority of the work creating the content, but there's no financial exchange.

The DLAI team is also pretty good about ensuring the content covers a topic not a product in general.

Not sure why this has drawn silence and attacks - whence the animus to Ng? His high-level assessments seem accurate, he's a reasonable champion of AI, and he speaks credibly based on advising many companies. What am I missing? (He does fall on the side of open models (as input factors): is that the threat?) He argues that landscape is changing (at least quarterly), and that services are (best) replaceable (often week…
