By now, everyone is familiar with generative AI fueled by large language models (LLMs) and generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs). The next level of innovation is agentic AI and the AI agents that drive it. These systems are revolutionizing how enterprises automate tasks and orchestrate complex workflows. Powered by LLMs, vector databases, retrieval augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and additional tools, these AI agents are expanding extensively, giving rise to multi-agent systems, cross

Many Silicon Valley investors and entrepreneurs even seem to view putting people out of work as a massive opportunity.

Its a minimal, preconfigured template containing an operating system, runtime tools, libraries, and dependencies. When you write a Dockerfile, the FROM command defines this base image, setting the stage for all subsequent layers.

Distributed consensus is a fundamental concept in distributed computing that refers to the process by which multiple nodes (servers or computers) in a distributed system agree on a single data value or a sequence of actions, ensuring consistency despite the presence of failures or network partitions. In simpler terms, it's the mechanism that allows independent computers to reach agreement on critical data or operations even when some nodes fail or communication is unreliable.
