Assorted things I've been mulling over regarding agents in the economy:
• Companies are in some sense the original superintelligence. It's often the case that they can use their amortized cognitive surplus to advance their interests against those of certain consumers: relative to the optimization capacity of companies, consumers can be inattentive, underinformed, irrational, etc. (Think, say, of some of the classic insurance upsells at the end of a booking process, which is typically priced substantially above what a regular policy would cost.) Herbert Simon introduced the idea of bounded rationality, and firms often end up benefiting from it. Thanks to personal agents, we will probably get somewhat more rational in how we engage with companies.
• How exactly will outcomes change? Well, certain kinds of price discrimination will work less well (how do coupons work if every agent hunts fastidiously for them?), and certain kinds of customer cross-subsidy will change (today, people who forget to cancel subscriptions subsidize those who don't). Taken across the economy as a whole, I'm not sure what the incidence of all of this will be.
• In corporate strategy, people have long debated the relative importance of distribution and product quality. Perhaps you've made something better, but does anyone know about it? Won't people just continue to buy the ACME Corp Mousetraps? Personal agents will, I think, act as a kind of structural subsidy for product quality. How would markets look different if individuals always spent at least 10 hours researching their purchases? On the margin, focusing on making a product better is, I think, going to become a more effective strategy for companies. This is good!
• It true, a corollary is that information about product quality will become more important and impactful. Today, most people have very limited ability to aggregate and integrate such data, but agents will have insatiable thirst for such signals. (It's often said that data is becoming more valuable because it helps in the training of models. That's obviously true, but I think there's a secondary way in which it's more valuable simply as a complement to cheaper intelligence.)
• A big question is whether agents will increase superstar effects (rational agents all settle on the same product) or increase dispersion (because everyone has slightly different tastes and preferences, which agents are good at eliciting, finally overcoming the artificial clustering we've been subjected to).
• Many internet companies have monetized demand routing, which is in turn often predicated on short attention spans. "I'll click on the first thing I see." This has led to some amount of inefficiency, as companies try to propitiate capricious ranking algorithms and incur various placement fees. It's not all deadweight loss (willingness to pay is itself a kind of signal, which is valuable to buyers), but it's not great. How will the nature and value of this routing change in a world of personal agents? I don't know the answer, but I think that the effects might be pretty big.
• Much of what I'm writing hinges on the assumption that personal agents will be on the consumer's side. I suspect that that will be the winning strategy, but whether it's true, and what it means to be true, involves a lot of other questions.
Taken as a whole, the market is a massively parallelized, decentralized, and highly imperfect value attribution machine, and, taking stock of all of the effects, it seems to me that the quality point may well be the biggest: that agents will change the nature of the backpropagation such that the rewards for better products increase. Maybe this is too optimistic, but I suspect (and hope) that companies that make things that they're proud of will feel that the universe is a little more partisan in their favor.
Do yourself a favor if you're serious about AI Engineering:
– Learn LLM APIs, tool calling, structured outputs and context engineering
– Find one boring, repetitive task people genuinely hate doing
– Check if simple automation can solve it before building an agent
– Define what success looks like before writing code
– Build one useful agent, not a team of 10 agents talking to each other
– Give it the right tools, context and memory only when needed
– Learn MCP, but use it when it actually makes integrations easier
– Build a small eval dataset from real examples before obsessing over prompts
– Test messy inputs, edge cases and failure scenarios, not just happy paths
– Validate tool inputs and outputs with strict schemas
– Make the agent verify its work instead of confidently guessing
– Teach it when to ask questions, stop or hand control back to a human
– Give tools minimum permissions and keep user data isolated
– Keep API keys and sensitive data out of prompts and logs
– Treat websites, documents and tool responses as untrusted input
– Sandbox risky execution and require approval before sending, spending or deleting
– Add timeouts, limited retries and safeguards against duplicate actions
– Save progress so long-running tasks can recover from failures
– Set limits on tokens, execution time and cost per task
– Use smaller models for easy tasks and reasoning models when needed, based on eval results
– Cache safe, repeatable work without serving stale or private data
– Trace model calls, tool usage, errors and decisions so you can debug failures
– Evaluate both the final answer and the steps the agent took
– Track task success rate, latency and cost per completed task
– Run evals in CI and block changes that break existing behavior
– Test new models and prompts on a small percentage of traffic before rolling them out
– Add fallbacks and a rollback plan for when models or tools fail
– Turn every real user complaint into a new test case
– Show users progress, clear errors and what the agent actually completed
��� Deploy it with a live link people can genuinely try
– Write a simple README explaining how it works and its limitations
– Record a 60-second demo showing a real problem getting solved
– Open-source the code and put the results on your resume

📌 Bookmark this + send it to someone prepping for AI interviews.
There are 2 career paths in AI right now:
The API Caller:
Knows how to build with LLMs.
The Architect:
Knows how LLM systems are built.
If you want to move toward the second, Stanford has one of the best free LLM engineering playlists on YouTube:
CS336: Language Modeling from Scratch.
The 2026 course has 18 lectures covering almost the entire LLM stack -
➡️ Build the model: Tokenization, Transformers, architectures, MoE
➡️ Understand the hardware: FLOPs, memory, GPUs, TPUs
➡️ Make it fast: Triton, GPU kernels, parallelism, distributed training
➡️ Train it: Scaling laws, data collection, filtering, deduplication
➡️ Run it: Inference, evaluation
➡️ Post-train it: SFT, RLHF, RLVR
Plus multimodality.
And you don’t only watch lectures.
> You implement the tokenizer, Transformer and optimizer.
> You write FlashAttention2 in Triton.
> You build memory-efficient distributed training.
> You turn raw Common Crawl dumps into pretraining data.
> You fit a scaling law.
> You use SFT + reinforcement learning to train a language model for mathematical reasoning.
Stanford says students write at least an order of magnitude more code than in most other AI classes.

♻️ Repost to save someone $$$ and a lot of confusion.
Andrej Karpathy:
"Prompting is going away.
Delete everything, keep Graph."
In 1 hour he shows how to build Graphs, and why it's the only thing that will be left standing at the end
LLMs → Prompts → Agents → Graphs
a prompt gets you one answer and then forgets the job
an agent finishes the job and then forgets what it learned
a graph keeps every finished job and turns it into the starting point of the next one
the first 10 minutes alone are worth more than most paid courses
watch the lecture first, then save the full guide on Graphs below ↓
this is certified f**king gold
Andrej Karpathy just showed a cleaner way to build research agents, and it kills the dumbest loop in AI:
search → answer → forget → search again
he basically turns memory into a real system:
raw sources stay raw
the agent reads them once
turns the useful parts into linked wiki pages
then checks the wiki first every time a new question comes in
so the loop changes:
> question comes in
> wiki gets searched first
> gaps send the agent back to source material
> the answer gets written back into the wiki
> the system leaves the next run smarter than the last one
that’s the trick
the “memory” is not buried in some giant chat transcript anymore
it lives in files the agent can actually work with:
> pages it can read
> links it can follow
> notes it can update
> gaps it can spot
> stale claims it can fix
after enough runs, you stop getting one-off answers
you get an actual knowledge base
that’s why this feels bigger than just “better RAG”
a normal research agent can handle 100 questions and leave behind 100 dead chats
Karpathy’s setup can handle the same 100 questions and leave behind a research system that compounds
the architecture is stupidly simple:
> raw/ = source of truth
> wiki/ = maintained knowledge
> schema = rules for how the whole thing gets updated
search still matters
it just stops being the whole product
that’s the part I’d steal immediately:
don’t make the agent remember harder
make it write something worth remembering
If you learn AI Infrastructure Engineering, you will never be unemployed again.
Stage 1: Systems & GPU Foundations
- Learn: C++, Rust, CUDA memory hierarchy, PCIe vs NVLink, thread blocks and warp scheduling.
- Practice: Write a custom CUDA kernel for matrix multiplication from scratch and profile it against cuBLAS.
- Why: You cannot optimize what you do not understand at the silicon level.
Stage 2: Transformer Inference Physics
- Learn: Prefill vs Decode phases, arithmetic intensity, memory bandwidth bottlenecks, KV-cache math.
- Practice: Profile a HuggingFace model with Nsight Systems to identify the exact memory bottleneck during token generation.
- Why: LLM inference is almost always memory-bound, not compute-bound.
Stage 3: Modern Serving Engines & Batching
- Learn: vLLM, SGLang, PagedAttention, continuous batching, chunked prefill.
- Practice: Deploy a 70B model and tune chunk sizes to maximize throughput without starving decode requests during long-context prefills.
- Why: Naive batching leaves 60% of GPU VRAM wasted. PagedAttention fixes this.
Stage 4: KV-Cache & Memory Optimization
- Learn: Prefix caching, KV quantization, CPU offloading, multi-turn cache reuse.
- Practice: Build a routing proxy that directs requests with identical system prompts to the same replica to share KV blocks.
- Why: Reused cache is free speed. It can slash Time-To-First-Token (TTFT) by 80%.
Stage 5: Quantization & Compression
- Learn: FP8, INT4, AWQ, GPTQ, Sparsity, TensorRT-LLM calibration.
- Practice: Serve a model in FP8 vs FP16 and benchmark the exact perplexity drop against the latency and VRAM gains.
- Why: Quantization is the only way to fit frontier models on edge GPUs and protect your margins.
Stage 6: Kernel-Level Engineering
- Learn: Triton, FlashAttention, CUDA graphs, operator fusion.
- Practice: Write a fused Triton kernel for RMSNorm or Softmax and benchmark it against the native PyTorch implementation.
- Why: Python overhead kills inference. Fused kernels save milliseconds that compound at scale.
Stage 7: Distributed Inference & Parallelism
- Learn: Tensor parallelism, Pipeline parallelism, Expert parallelism (for MoE models).
- Practice: Shard a 405B parameter model across 8 nodes and measure the communication overhead between GPUs.
- Why: Single-GPU inference is dead for frontier models. You must master the shard.
Stage 8: Speculative Decoding
- Learn: Draft-target models, Medusa heads, acceptance rates, n-gram drafting.
- Practice: Build a pipeline where a local 3B model drafts tokens for a cloud 70B model to verify in parallel.
- Why: 2x decode speed at zero quality cost is the closest thing to a free lunch in inference.
Stage 9: Multi-Node & Hardware Interconnects
- Learn: NCCL, RDMA, InfiniBand, NVLink, Disaggregated Prefill/Decode architectures.
- Practice: Set up a multi-node cluster and profile the network latency of tensor parallelism across nodes vs within a single node.
- Why: Network latency is the new GPU bottleneck. Disaggregating prefill and decode is the 2026 meta.
Stage 10: Cluster Orchestration & GPU Scheduling
- Learn: Kubernetes GPU operators, Ray, Slurm, MIG (Multi-Instance GPU) partitioning, KEDA.
- Practice: Build a queue-based autoscaler that spins up spot GPUs based on pending inference requests and drains them when empty.
- Why: Idle H100s burn $3+/hr. FinOps and scheduling are now core infra responsibilities.
Stage 11: AI Gateways, Routing & Observability
- Learn: TTFT/ITL SLOs, semantic routing, DCGM metrics, OpenTelemetry for LLMs.
- Practice: Build a gateway that routes simple queries to a quantized local model and complex reasoning to a frontier API based on prompt complexity.
- Why: Routing protects your margins and DCGM metrics tell you when your GPUs are silently throttling.
Stage 12: Public Benchmarks & Teardowns
- Learn: Reproducible methodology, latency/throughput Pareto curves, cost-per-token analysis.
- Practice: Publish a teardown comparing vLLM vs SGLang vs TensorRT-LLM on your specific hardware with full configs.
- Why: Public proof of hardware mastery gets you hired instantly by top AI labs.

LLMs are pretty impressive tools. But on their own, they can't "remember" anything.
That's where vector stores come in and enhance their capabilities.
In this article, @manishmshiva explains what vector stores are and how they work, teaches you about embeddings, and more.

Anthropic contrató a este ingeniero a $250K-$750K al año porque sabe cómo construir arneses para sistemas multiagente
En este taller de 15 minutos, muestra exactamente cómo construir uno desde cero
IA → Agentes → Arnés → Bucles → Gráficos
paso 1 → comienza con el SDK de Claude Agent - el arnés maneja bucles, contexto y sandboxing
paso 2 → separa el cerebro de las manos - razonamiento en un lugar, herramientas en un sandbox, 60% más rápido al primer token
paso 3 → ejecútalo del lado del servidor y registra cada paso - cierra tu laptop y sigue ejecutándose, los fallos se reanudan desde el registro
paso 4 → haz que el fallo sea barato - reintenta sandboxes muertos y reproduce contexto perdido en lugar de empezar de nuevo
paso 5 → convierte los registros de ayer en nueva memoria y habilidades - el arnés despierta más inteligente
Anthropic llama a esto "soñar"
La mayoría de las personas pasa semanas construyendo esto desde cero.
No tienes por qué hacerlo.
Guárdalo, cuando llegue el momento de construir agentes que realmente funcionen en producción, este arnés puede ahorrarte semanas de trabajo
There is *a lot* of software that hasn’t been built across hundreds of industries because our best paid designers and engineers were occupied with building social networks and ad networks.
"The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads." — Jeff Hammerbacher
Meanwhile, huge parts of the physical economy were left running on spreadsheets, email, paper forms, ancient desktop software and enterprise systems installed sometime around 1999. They still use it today.
Construction. Manufacturing. Logistics. Agriculture. Waste management. Energy. Shipping. Maintenance. Laboratories. Local government. Field services. Industrial equipment. Healthcare administration. The list is endless.
A lot of these places were simply too small, too "unsexy" or too expensive to serve with traditional software economics, especially after engineers became one of the best paid career choice.
But small teams can now build specialized tools for markets that previously couldn’t justify the best of the best engineering talent.
And even further, lets not forget about all the terrible enterprise software out there owned by massive corporations who locked in clients since the late 90s and didn't change a single thing since then. All these companies are completely vendor locked due to switching cost, but that switching cost is slowly disappearing.
Maybe I am too optimistic here, but there are entire industries still waiting for their first piece of software that is truly designed for the people using it.
The opportunities right now are endless.
EXPOSED: “Olu of Warri, Tompolo and Osahon Idahosa collect ₦2.7tn annually from the Nigerian Federal Government through pipeline contracts.”
Asari Dokubo said Tompolo is involved in the contracts but receives far less than the figures being alleged, while he himself has no involvement in the pipeline contracts.
He also claimed Arthur Eze previously held the contract and that he saw an Orji Uzor Kalu ( former Gov of abia state) -owned vessel operating in their waters.
