NEW paper from Meta. (bookmark it) It's an agent system that autonomously discovers neural architectures that beat Llama 3.2 at 350M, 1B, and 3B scales, all under a 24-hour compute budget. They get this work by splitting the search into two agents: > AIRA-Compose searches the macro architecture. > AIRA-Design implements the low-level mechanisms. For devs: If one agent in your stack is doing both strategy and implementation, split it. Run a planner that picks the structure and an implementer that fills in the mechanisms. AIRA shows this beats a single end-to-end agent on a real, non-toy search problem. The same split is useful for pipeline assembly, query planning, prompt scaffolding, and tool-use programs.

Interesting position paper on agentic AI as a foreseeable pathway to AGI. (bookmark it) There has been strong debate on whether a larger single model get us there or a multi-agent system. The authors argue that agentic AI systems, not bigger foundation models on their own, are the most foreseeable route to AGI. Formalizes what "agentic" actually contributes beyond the base model: memory, reasoning, tool use, self-improvement, alignment. Each is a separable axis with its own bottlenecks (long-horizon coherence, credit assignment, safety auditing). They argues that none of those bottlenecks get solved by another order of magnitude on pretraining compute. Paper: Learn to build effective AI agents in our academy:
