Not a day goes by without a new announcement about AI. These announcements are dominated by advances in LLMs and agentic AI systems. The power these tools place into our hands is enormous. I don't want to miss out on any of this. It's an amazing time we live in.

Methodology

This is mostly going to be a brute-force approach of studying furiously and writing as much code as I can. Separately, as part of AI and ML, I'll be learning the fundamentals of the technology behind LLMs and agents, so this field of study is mostly applied technology.

Objective

I want to build my own agentic AI system using Elixir as the underlying technology. The agentic system should be compelling enough to want to incorporate into my day-to-day. What this system looks like and how it behaves are things I hope will emerge from the studying I am doing on this topic.

Progress

The log

  1. A Curriculum for LLMs & Agents

    I'm pretty certain the books I want to read will be, at least in part, obsolete by the time I get to them. Undaunted though, here is the list of books I'm reading to get deep into LLMs and agentic AI.
