The chatter around LLMs right now centers on practical deployment and tooling: from using AI/LLMs to drive Linux subsystem fixes, to the friction people hit when self-hosting locally, and to GPUs being a bottleneck for academic LLM workloads. A parallel thread explores how LLMs are influencing specialized software development, including chip design workflows.

My RTX 5090 can't keep up with Apple Silicon on the biggest local LLMs, and I hate to admit it

They don't win on speed, but they do win on being able to run them in the first place.

What are agents?

"Agent" can be defined in several ways. Some customers define agents as fully autonomous systems that operate independently over extended periods, using various tools to accomplish complex tasks. Others use the term to describe more prescriptive implementations that follow predefined workflows. At Anthropic, we categorize all these variations as agentic systems, but draw an important architectural distinction between workflows and agents: Workflows are systems where LLMs and tools are orchestrated through predefined code paths.Agents, on the other hand, are systems where LLMs dynamically direc
