Создатели, менеджеры и люди процесса. Кто на самом деле двигает продукт

Я работаю долго в продуктовых компаниях и за это время определил для себя 3 группы людей.Создатели — это дизайнеры, инженеры, исследователи, аналитики. Люди, которые руками и головой делают продукт.

Достаточно развернуть двух агентов на компактной модели Qwen2.5-3B или 7B, запустить их где-нибудь у себя или в облаке, дать им базу знаний и наблюдать за циклом «AI учит сам себя», попивая кофеек :) В середине января 2026 года на Hugging Face опубликовали исследование по фреймворку Dr. Zero (DeepResearch-Zero) для самообучения агентов...
