Further convergence to code
https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/advanced-tool-use
So this is a further convergence to code.
Efficiency, accuracy are still the core issues in agent world.
And code is still the best tool for that.
LLM provided a layer to transform natural language to code and then execute it
We are still building programs, which still need enough details, domain logic and data.
LLM based paradigm enables
- More integration through a common standard. More tools are connected to the ecosystem.
- Built in information extraction from text, images, video etc.
- Built in world knowledge on how to do things.
- Built in code execution environment
- Automatic error correction and words understanding. Not like rigid syntax.
So we are still building things, just in a different way. We can build more advanced things, and build it faster, through the power of LLM.
