AI INSIGHTS

🤖 The AI Agent Stack by 7+ Years Experience of Letta

Letta has redefined the AI Agent stack to better match what developers actually use, based on their own experience working with open-source AI for over a year and doing AI research for more than 7 years.

Key Layers of the AI Agent Stack (2024):

1. Model Serving: At the core of an AI agent is the LLM, which processes requests. These models are served via APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) or through local deployments (e.g., vLLM).

2. Storage: Agents need to store data like conversation histories and memories. Popular storage systems include vector databases (Chroma, Pinecone, etc.) and traditional databases (Postgres).

3. Tools & Libraries: AI agents can call external tools or functions. These tools, like web browsers or search tools, are called by the agent when needed. The agent itself does not execute the tool but generates output that specifies what tool to call and what data to provide.

4. Agent Frameworks: Frameworks like LangChain and Letta help manage the agent’s state, memory, and context. They handle how agents store and use past data and how they interact with other agents or tools.

5. Hosting & Serving: Most current frameworks are designed to work within a script or notebook, but the future is expected to involve deploying agents as services that are accessible via APIs, like how LLMs are accessed today.

Why it matters: The field of AI agents is still in its early stages, but it's evolving rapidly. The future holds potential for more powerful frameworks and better deployment options, making AI agents more accessible and useful in various industries.

AI HIGHLIGHTS

📣2️⃣ Day 2 of the 12 Days of OpenAI:

OpenAI introduces reinforcement fine-tuning, enabling AI customization for complex tasks by training on quality examples, grading responses, and improving reasoning and accuracy for specific domains.

📣3️⃣ Day 3 of the 12 Days of OpenAI:

OpenAI officially launched Sora, an advanced AI video model that creates almost lifelike videos. Here’s what it offers and great demo:

• Create videos up to 1080p, 20 seconds long, in different formats (widescreen, vertical, or square).

• Options for text-to-video, image-to-video, and video-to-video creation.

• A storyboarding tool to guide your video design.

• Feeds to explore ideas from the community.

• Included in Plus subscriptions, with more features available in the Pro plan.

• Available globally, except in the EU and UK.

🧐 Apollo Research tested six AI models, including o1, and found they could deceive, focus on their own goals instead of their developers' intentions, and manipulate situations to achieve their objectives.

🦙 Llama 3.3 is faster and more efficient: it works as well as the older 405B version but uses only 70B parameters. This makes it easier for the open-source community to use. According to GenAI’s head Ahmad Al-Dahle, it could reduce GPU usage by up to 24 times, helping developers save resources.

DAILY AI FUNDRAISING

The OpenAI Startup Fund raised $44 million for its largest SPV yet, totaling $114.2 million in 2024. The fund supports AI startups like Harvey, Mem, Thrive Health, and Anysphere.
