McKinsey’s new report on AI agents shows the same mindset I see in many firms: a focus on making small, obsolete models do basic work (look at their suggested models!) rather than realizing that smarter models can do higher-end work (and those models are getting cheaper & better) https://x.com/emollick/status/1934669417494745559

This is becoming a theme: if you are in a field where simple LLM wrappers have proliferated and are proven use cases with lots of adoptions (Copilot, Firefly, etc.) then the AI labs are likely to just toss that capability into their chatbot.”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1935409804681343057
