Окупается ли мультиагентность и можно ли автоматически выбрать паттерн под задачу?

Я прогнал шесть мультиагентных паттернов на трёх бенчмарках и трёх моделях. Под командой агентов тут понимаются связки вроде критика-актора или оркестратора с подчинёнными. Почти везде такая команда проиграла одиночному агенту. Проиграла и по точности, и по цене, а по цене иногда вчетверо.Это была бы скучная заметка в духе «МАС не нужен, расходимся». Но нашлось исключение. Чем труднее задача для модели, тем больше у команды появляется шанс на выигрыш. Так что... Read more

UK Scientists See Little Evidence for Claims Smartphones Are Rewiring Kids' Brains

UK's Members of Parliament (MP) were "looking for proof that smartphones and social media are rotting children's brains," writes The Register — but they got "a less satisfying answer from neuroscientists on Wednesday: nobody can really prove it." Appearing before the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee this week, three researchers spent much of the session explaining that concern and evidence are not quite the same thing. Asked what evidence exists... Read more

Forty-three percent said a central team owned AI governance; 23% couldn't agree on who owned it at all; and 31% named vendor opacity as the single biggest obstacle.This new wave of research asks the next question: Once you've admitted the governance problem,...

On-device AI models have stayed small because the entire weight set has to live in DRAM, capping practical parameter counts well below what server-side deployments use. Enterprise architects evaluating agentic workloads have had to choose between capable cloud-dependent models and limited on-device ones. Apple's third-generation foundation models, announced at WWDC26, break that constraint by moving the weight set off DRAM entirely.The AFM 3 family was developed in collaboration with Google...

The tradeoff: Cohere's North Mini Code, which launched Tuesday, generated three times the output tokens of comparable models in independent testing, a verbosity cost that compounds in high-volume production workloads.The new open-source model is a 30 billion parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) model with 3...
