What is an agent?
That’s what Day 3 of Kaggle’s Gen AI Challenge is all about.

:blobcoffee: An agent is a system that observes its environment, plans actions, uses tools like APIs, functions, or data stores, and acts autonomously to achieve a goal – often over multiple steps (see whitepaper from Google below).

The cognitive architecture of an agent consists of three essential components:
🧠 a model (like a language model),
🔧 tools (like APIs or functions), and
🎯 an orchestration layer that coordinates reasoning and action.

You can build such agents using tools like LangChain and LangGraph.

The insatiable hunger to feed #LLMs and #AI is parasitically draining the commons and public internet. Bandwidth costs are spiking as crawlers take data for training and information. For Wikipedia, the lack of attribution means no visitors, no donors, just cost. The #ethics of AI are failing here.

I saw Tim Karr on bluesky suggest that AIs should pay fees or a tax (should that be tariffs?) into a fund that supports public content. Services like Cloudflare and Fastly that defend against bots are evolving for crawlers. In #identity, the implications for #AgenticAI, #AI, and #NHI are vast.
