Machine learning and artificial intelligence are dramatically changing the way businesses operate and people live. The TWIML AI Podcast brings the top minds and ideas from the world of ML and AI to a broad and influential community of ML/AI researchers, data scientists, engineers and tech-savvy business and IT leaders. Hosted by Sam Charrington, a sought after industry analyst, speaker, commentator and thought leader. Technologies covered include machine learning, artificial intelligence, deep learning, natural language processing, neural networks, analytics, computer science, data science and more.
Today, we’re joined by Dan Jeffries, founder and CEO of Kentauros AI to discuss the challenges currently faced by those developing advanced AI agents. We dig into how Dan defines agents and distinguishes them from other similar uses of LLM, explore various use cases for them, and dig into ways to create smarter agentic systems. Dan shared his “big brain, little brain, tool brain” approach to tackling real-world challenges in agents, the trade-offs in leveraging general-purpose vs. task-specific models, and his take on LLM reasoning. We also cover the way he thinks about model selection for agents, along with the need for new tools and platforms for deploying them. Finally, Dan emphasizes the importance of open source in advancing AI, shares the new products they’re working on, and explores the future directions in the agentic era.
