Agents, Agents Everywhere

AI Agents are coming thick and fast with OpenAI soon to be joining the race…

“Operator” Standing By (It’s Just your AI Agent)

OpenAI is gearing up to release a new AI agent codenamed “Operator” in January. The new feature will allow an AI agent to use a computer and take actions on a person’s behalf… fully autonomously.

The details:

• OpenAI is finally joining the AI agent party with Operator. Think of it as your computer's new co-pilot, but this one doesn't need coffee breaks.

• Everyone's getting in on the action – Anthropic, Microsoft, and Google are also racing to build their own agent tools.

So What?

The AI industry is rapidly shifting toward autonomous agents capable of handling complex, multi-step tasks with minimal oversight.

While OpenAI might be late to this party, their upcoming "Operator" release, which I’d assume would be powered by its sophisticated o1 model, suggests they're not just trying to play catch up – they're aiming to raise the bar for what AI agents can accomplish.

Grok & Roll: Teaching AI to Write Like You

Last week, xAI announced developers can build on Grok foundation models using the newly released API.

Since xAI is offering $25 in monthly API credits to everyone until 2024 ends, let's dive into how you can put these free credits to work:

1. Sign up at on the xAI console and generate an API key (you should get a $25 credit).

2. There is no native SDK yet from xAI, but it has direct support for OpenAI’s:

import os
from openai import OpenAI

XAI_API_KEY = YOUR_GENERATED_API_KEY
# Best practice would be to put it into your .env file, XAI_API_KEY = os.getenv("XAI_API_KEY")

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=XAI_API_KEY,
    base_url="https://api.x.ai/v1",
)

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="grok-beta",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are Grok, a chatbot inspired by the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?"},
    ],
)

print(completion.choices[0].message.content)

Response:

Ah, the ultimate question! According to the brilliant minds behind the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the answer is **42**. However, it's worth noting that the real trick lies in figuring out what the actual question is. Life, the universe, and everything are quite the enigma, wrapped in a riddle, served with a side of perplexing cosmic soup. So, while 42 might be the answer, the journey to understanding the question is where the real adventure lies!

Speaking of AI's pace (which we discussed in our last newsletter), here's what Sam Altman had to say:

Cryptic as usual, but the message is clear. This means Sam’s got something up his sleeve, and he is taking this momentum all the way to next year (Operators and beyond).

Hold your hats folks, we’re in for a crazy winter, and I’m not talking about the snow…
