“I worry about” “I’m concerned about” are becoming extremely high status sentiments, and the more esoteric the better. they indicate that you’re fighting the good fight and you’re an activist. but I much prefer to learn that someone is curious or fascinated about something

the doomerism plaguing 10 year olds in this country is absolutely heartbreaking a strong sense of hope and optimism can be the biggest driver for working hard in school and being a positive contributor to society

Salesforce EVP of AI @justjayesh says we may be surprisingly close to a full self-improvement loop for AI agents without touching the model weights at all: "Most of the conversation I see about RL, recursive self-improvement, RSI, is on the model layer, and it needs to be thought through more holistically." "That success criteria can be met by having better context. It could be resolved by having a workflow that the agent has access to so it doesn't have to go cook one up on the fly. And of course the weights can also improve." "We are pretty near doing a full improvement loop using mechanisms that are modifying context by themselves, modifying prompts within the agentic system by themselves, and freezing the weights for a minute." "This Dreamforce we announced Agentforce Optimizer, which takes the very first step on an agent that's in production and just tells you where the agent is failing and why it might be failing." @salesforce @Dreamforce

Factory COO @francesca_lab says the enterprise AI stack is becoming less about picking one best model and more about routing every task to the right one: "We're definitely seeing a model mix. Cost is a big part of the equation. We really want to maximize ROI for our customers, not just maximize token spend." "Open source is picking up a pretty big share. Certain models are good at different use cases. Maybe you're using a different model for code review than you're using for your migration project." "We optimize the right model per task based on that cost/performance trade-off." "The router needs to be tied to the harness, because you need to have the output right next to the router in that decision, versus just routing to the model that is the cheapest." @FactoryAI

If you're more of a podcast person and interested in learning more about what we're up to at @GamowLabs, my @MTSlive episode just dropped on their feed. @sophiadew is a great host and I think really helped me tell my story in a way I am proud of.

Factory COO @francesca_lab predicts self-improving software will become a trillion-dollar opportunity as enterprises around the world race to adopt it: "One, product development and research development, building out this next era of what self-improving software really looks like. How do we equip enterprises to build that self-improving piece on their own?" "Scaling that globally across go-to-market. We're in United States today, growing in EMEA, growing in APAC." "This problem is universal. Everyone sees it, wants to take the opportunity that it presents for their teams to spur further innovation, to move faster." @FactoryAI
