An update on AI Eng Foundation. All AIEF projects are currently on hold.

We are seeking a new Executive Director - pls contact @swyx if you are interested.

[Sasha Sheng (Hiring) 🫶🏼 @hackgoofer]

Hi all, it is with heavy heart that I’m announcing that I will step off as executive director for the AI Engineer Foundation @aiengfoundation.

I started building heavily on an idea 2 months ago and we are growing crazy fast and I don’t think I will be doing a great job supporting the community with the startup going on at the same time.

Handing off the foundation back to my mentor and friend @swyx. I hope I’ll be able to serve the community another way when our offering goes public. 💕

Appreciate everyone for all the support!

Hey it's @hackgoofer kicking off the @aiengfoundation Realtime + Voice AI hackathon

[Alex Reibman 🖇️ @AlexReibman]

280 hackers signed up to build what’s possible with the latest advancements in multimodal AI.

This is a sneak peak at the new age of the AI-first Interface.

Here’s what we saw at the @aiengfoundation Realtime Voice AI and Multimodal Hackathon in San Francisco (🧵):

Output from the 1.5 hour pair programming session, thanks to my chief engineer: @jzanecook

1. Agent Protocol now has a JS Client! We generated the JSClient from OpenAPIGenerator tool. Thanks to @wilsonianb for his initial PR. We took over his draft PR and added and edited and merged it!

2. How do you generate the right version format and the right RepositoryURL using the OpenAPIGenerator? We ran out of time there to figure it out. Take a look at our GitHub issue: https://t.co/DcGVcCd85m

We are always looking for new collaborators, let us know if you’d like to tackle this issue! And please join our discord at: @aiengfoundation

[AI Engineer Foundation @aiengfoundation]

This morning we just released our JS SDK on NPM v1.0.5!

Please try it out and let us know your thoughts. Damn, those Tuesday 9:30AM PST coworking sessions are sure productive. We will continue next week on April 9th!

Reliable function calling has unlocked the hidden potential of AI agents.

We challenged 150+ hackers to show us what they’re capable of.

Presenting the finalists from the @aiengfoundation RAG+Function calling hackathon (🧵):

I am so beyond excited for our Function Calling + RAG hackathon this coming Saturday (2/24) in SF (in the Arena).

We are oversubscribed at this point (>120!! wow!! in under a week of planning), so we'd be only accepting people who plan to hack AND present and willing to volunteer.

Huge thanks to our Platinum sponsors: @FireworksAI_HQ and @llama_index, our gold sponsor @vectara and our silver sponsor @AgentOpsAI and @pebble_bed for making this happen. Go support @aiengfoundation if you haven't yet already. <3

In July I had a working session with @mlejva and @co_valenta around what was going to become the agent protocol. We wanted to find a solution to standardize communication of agents (or AI apps, or LLM apps, or whatever else you want) in the web.

We came up with this draft in the picture (lol)

Eventually the endpoints became very different.
No workspace, "agents" became agent... steps nested within tasks, etc, etc... @e2b_dev started implementing this protocol. So big thanks to them.

Then @hackgoofer decided to lead the AI engineer foundation:
https://t.co/FfnKuQ92DR

And the AI engineer foundation now is maintaining the agent protocol: https://t.co/HmJjelWFhP

@Auto_GPT ended up hosting a hackathon and hundreds of agents competed.

All these agents implemented the protocol. This made it extremely easy to compare all of them using the same benchmark.

And by very easy, I mean it took me only 1 week of my time lol (Imagine if these agents didn't implement the protocol, it would have taken me months)

SO big thanks to all the founding team of the AI engineer foundation:
@hackgoofer @cra @leeb @antonosika @jzanecook @mlejva @silennai @swyx Gregory Kurtzer
