Automated Design of Agentic Systems with Shengran Hu - 700

Today, we're joined by Shengran Hu, a PhD student at the University of British Columbia, to discuss Automated Design of Agentic Systems (ADAS) - https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.08435, an approach focused on automatically creating agentic system designs. We explore the spectrum of agentic behaviors, the motivation for learning all aspects of agentic system design, the key components of the ADAS approach, and how it uses LLMs to design novel agent architectures in code. We also cover the iterative process of ADAS, its potential to shed light on the behavior of foundation models, the higher-level meta-behaviors that emerge in agentic systems, and how ADAS uncovers novel design patterns through emergent behaviors, particularly in complex tasks like the ARC challenge. Finally, we touch on the practical applications of ADAS and its potential use in system optimization for real-world tasks. 🎧 / 🎥 Listen or watch the full episode on our page: https://twimlai.com/go/700. 🔔 Subscribe to our channel for more great content just like this: https://youtube.com/twimlai?sub_confirmation=1 🗣️ CONNECT WITH US! =============================== Subscribe to the TWIML AI Podcast: https://twimlai.com/podcast/twimlai/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/twimlai Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/twimlai/ Join our Slack Community: https://twimlai.com/community/ Subscribe to our newsletter: https://twimlai.com/newsletter/ Want to get in touch?
