Как тестировать 5 LLM-агентов одним набором тестов: capability-based подход

В [прошлой статье](https://habr.com/ru/articles/1049482/) я разбирала, почему классический QA ломается на LLM: нет одного эталонного ответа, один и тот же тест плавает от прогона к прогону, зелёный прогон ничего не гарантирует. Это была статья про осознание проблемы.Эта — про то, как с этим жить в коде, когда агентов не один, а несколько. Читать далее Read more

Целесообразность использования человекоподобных роботов в производственных процессах обработки поверхностей

Всё больше появляется сообщений о проектах с применением человекоподобных роботов на производстве. Основная гипотеза: человекоподобный робот, может работать вместо человека, так как всё на производстве уже сделано для человека и человек работает. Ниже разберём гипотезу о целесообразности использования человекоподобных роботов в производственных процессах обработки поверхностей (шлифовка, полировка, пескоструйка, покраска и т.д.) в актуальном периоде.Основной вывод: человекоподобные роботы вряд ли станут опт Read more

Человек всегда работал с деревом, это естественный и привычный материал для инструментов, мебели, посуды, жилища и т. д.
