Re: Software 3.1? – AI Functions

AWS just shipped an experimental library through strands-labs, AI Functions, which execute LLM-generated code at runtime and return native Python objects. They use automated post-conditions to verify outputs continuously. Unlike generate-and-verify approaches, the AI-generated code runs directly in your application.

I'm sure there's a lot of effort put into this, god knows why, but I pray I never have to have this in a production environment im on.

I can't even imagine how many joules would be used per function call!

As an experiment, it's kind of cool. I'm kind of at a loss to what useful software you'd build with it though. Surely once you've run the AI function once it would be much simpler to cache the resulting code than repeatedly re-generate it?

Can anyone think of any uses for this?
