More teams are rethinking cloud-hosted LLMs. agent.cpp provides minimal, high-performance building blocks for agents in C++, built directly around the llama.cpp ecosystem. Designed for running agents locally on your own hardware. Repo: link.mozilla.ai/agent-cpp

Guardrails are vital for AI safety, but hard to choose. Each has its own logic & definition of unsafe. That's why we built any-guardrail, a unified interface to test and switch guardrails seamlessly, making AI safer, more reliable, and easier to build. Read our post: blog.mozilla.ai/introducing-...

I have being recently working with different agent frameworks and I couldn't agree more with the ideas in the paper. I haven't found yet a practical use case where I would personally prefer to use an agentic pattern over a code-defined workflow, where some (managed) calls to LLMs can still happen.

I do believe it also applies to Wikipedia. People are training LLMs with Wikipedia data, and that is a fact. If we acknowledge that, we can explore different ways of how to handle that use case beyond "I don't like that use case"

One of the things I wanted to push with the project is a debate on why projects benefiting from OSM are (almost) never focused on contributing that and why we keep spending public resources on building datasets that are barely better than that what's already on OSM.

Sorry about the meme. This was my personal decision to share an internal meme I had shared with friends working on CV before. My point was that in the satellite community we are constantly working with outdated datasets were you can't contribute updating or fixing things.
