One reason why LLMs are so powerful is that they are not only world models, they are multi-agentic world models.
What does it mean?
It means that they learn to imitate the behavior of all the agents and pseudo-agents (fire, water, ...) in the data. Ego (assistant) is just a special case for them. They learn from third-party experience, and they are able to roleplay, or let's say "embody", universally for any kind of an agent you set up as the ego.
So, robotics foundation models are typically not trained similarly. They are typically only able to learn from ego experience. This makes them very fragile and bad at learning skills.
To get to #UniversalEmbodiment in #robotics, you need to reframe the learning in robots in an analogous fashion to LLMs. You must make the ego a special case, not the only point of view.

The simplest way to explain the transformation that is happening in the economy because of #AI is that the economic system of capital and resources is realigning to serve AI needs, with the not totally baseless assumption that AIs will in turn serve the needs of humanity.
So, the economy is bifurcating into the economy controlling the capital investments for AI and the legacy economy where the capital is valued based on future profits and consumption.
Depending on where you are or want to be in this transformation and map, you might see the bending space from different viewpoints.
You might see capital being allocated "irrationally" into AI compute capacity while the AI itself eats away all hope for future profits not only for AI capital but for traditional capital as well.
Or you can look at the pure power, wealth and resources the AIs we are building offer directly, without a need to value it in currency. You will see how irrational it is to insist on dollar nominated values for autonomous robotics armies defending sovereign corporations. Who needs money if you can just command AI?
So, if you want to be a part of the AI economy that will eat the world, you better start to think value in terms of data, not in terms of future profits.

How to value AI ventures? I recently saw a post by an angel investor VC lamenting how many VCs estimate and value AI-first ventures as SaaS companies.
Many issues with that. SaaS valuations are based on negligible scaling costs as the software is written once and maintained at a constant cost, while the customer-base is scaled without limits. They are also based on captive customers where the aim is to integrate so deeply into customer's infrastructure and processes that is becomes impractical to switch providers.
AI-first companies are very far from such archetypes. As they scale, their variable costs tend to get higher as they tend to use external AI providers which understandably raise their prices as their customers become captive. As the product usage grows, so do the AI inference costs, sometimes super-linearly.
They are also easy to displace if they are just interfaces to frontier model APIs. After all, people have automated coding tools and LLMs have all the experience of the whole industry.
So, if that's not the model for the business and the base of the valuation of such companies, what is? What forms a defensible position?
Data.
Companies must become a part of the whole data gathering and refinement topology where the AI providers need this data to make their models improve in the specific problems and domains.
Data isn't the oil or the electricity of the future, it is the whole economy of the future. Who cares about fiat currencies, it is the data flows which determine the map of the world and the business.

Instructing LLMs is like writing laws. Not in the sense of penalties and such, but still in the sense that the instructions should be correctly understood by the agents, and there shouldn't be explosions of exceptional cases and fluff.
The domain expert who writes the instructions should use similar consideration as a parliamentary committee does when writing and editing laws.
What happens if the agent follows this text as it is read? What are the repercussions in the wider system? Is each "law" as simple as possible while unambiguous and complete? Is there enough information available for the agent to actually follow the instructions well?
When writing LLM instructions, you must have empathy for the machine, see the task from its perspective, be able to read the instructions as they are read not as they are written. There are many people who are simply incapable to. Capacity for empathy isn't universal, especially if the "other" is a non-living being, a nominal subordinate.
People have a tendency for optimism; that when they write whatever trash, the reader will magically know what they were thinking instead of what they wrote. Writing skills are even less universal than capacity for empathy.
The writer of the law must also know the domain. Nothing is worse than people who know nothing about let's say forest ecology writing laws about natural protection. You get things like prohibition to pick mushrooms. Yes, I'm looking at you Switzerland.
Instructing AIs is not a science. It's also more than a craft, or an art. It requires a very specific person to do it — it is not possible to just interchange a prompt engineer with another. The AIs grow as extensions of that person, and reflect who they are not unlike children reflect their parents, or countries reflect their governments.

If all the work of the near future is done by AI agents, where will those AI agents be? Will they be managed by your company, your competitor, your customer or your frontier AI provider partner?
Well, starting from the first principles, these agents will need a lot of domain knowledge to perform this work. A lot of this knowledge is hard earned and silent, very context dependent, not something written down in university textbooks.
Where is this knowledge? Assuming all actors behave rationally, the knowledge is managed where it is being created. That means the place where the work is actually done is privileged as it receives all the problems, comes up with the solutions, and has the opportunity to store all this knowledge in a reusable, self-refining, constantly improving form.
If the work happens in your company, and you make the effort to form and materialize this living knowledge asset, and automate with AI agents, you won't be easily displaced because you have cemented your position in the data flow and knowledge creation topology.
This is in fact one of the main ways for software consultancy companies to not only survive, but prosper, in this change which will absolutely decimate most software consultancy companies.
If you want to work with me, I am an #AI generalist with over 25 years of experience looking for opportunities in ambitious teams, hoping to work remotely from Spain.

Sequence models such as LLMs are powerful because they exhibit in-context learning and other in-context cognitive capabilities.
This was never intended or engineered in; it was pretty much an accidental result.
What we see in these models is that they can learn in a generalizable way pretty much optimally from a single example in-context. This is way better than any of our classically engineered learning algorithms can do.
In addition to this, they also have world models baked into the causal context processing. They can describe the world state after a sequence of events. More than that actually, they have agentic world models where they can describe what each agent featured in the context intends to do next.
These sequence models are also by accident excellent integration components. The context can be written by other entities as well, not only the model itself generatively. The context can come partly from a user or multiple users, tools such as web searches or Python interpreters, other agents, perception, ...
All in all, LLMs are not just singular atomic entities but they are very powerful building blocks of scalable cognitive architectures. And that is what agentic systems in principle are, LLMs integrated togetger with a wide range of other system, using the context as the interface.

Multi-agentic foundation models are important for #robotics and #automation in negotiated and adversarial places such as #traffic and #warfare.
But how to implement them? I have previously drafted a data-centric architecture for decomposing agentic representations for #UniversalEmbodiment in a GitHub repository.
But LLMs already have internalized multi-agentic representations, why can't we utilize them directly? For example, in text you can easily ask an LLM to describe all the persons or agents present in the scene and their intents.
We can and we must certainly utilize these! But these representations aren't grounded.
What we need to do is to craft robotic foundation model training data to involve scenarios where there are multiple agents present.
First start acausally from what ultimately happened — how was the scenario negotiated between multiple participants, who drove first, what attack and evasive patterns were used?
As we then know what happened, we can go back in time and ask the foundation model to identify all the participants in the feed, and complete their intentions with the information from the ultimate outcome.
The foundation model can then utilize all the language space knowledge it has about multi-agent environments, but also anchor this to visual and control signals present in the training data.
This allows the model to not only answer questions of what each participant intents to do, but also anchor this to multi-modal sensory information, and also project embodiment related control intents to all the participants in the scenario, not only ego.
Ego becomes just a special case in robotic control, the model should learn to generalize to project control intents to all agents present in the data.
Ultimately this allows the foundation model to learn from perceived and projected experiences of others, to learn to imitate or not imitate what it has seen other agents do.
It's all about crafting data, not really about sophisticated model architectures.

I just can't get over the fact that their apparent threat model is that AI might become so intelligent that it will find peaceful solutions to conflicts.

In software engineering Claude Code and similar tools seem to shine already in four phases in the software project:
1. Prototyping and architecture: With a bit of iteration it usually ends up with ok boilerplate and architectural structure, something an average software engineer could make. Often you'll see it make the same mistakes which are typical in the field, but you can easily redesign those parts. Teach Claude how to think about the parts it fails at, like you would do with a junior developer. I always tell people to have empathy to the machine. Don't yell at it! :D
2. Review: Give an LLM agent a codebase or PRs and it does decent review on them. It doesn't replace a proper look by an expert yet, but it's better than just a standard linter. Ask it specific questions.
3. Repetitive and modular parts: Ingestion modules from different sources, integrations to different APIs, things like that.
4. Asking second opinions about choices: Not coding as such but playing with ideas and such.
Everything else, like adding features, fixing non-trivial bugs, making architectural adaptations tend to create more of a mess than what they save. When the codebase grows, you'll need to spend more energy and time in understanding it.
The situation will certainly change at some point, and then you will be the expert Claude Code plays ideas against...
Remember: Always run agentic systems inside a sandbox, a virtual machine or a Docker container. Don't give them destructive access to external services. Keep the AI in the box! :D

What should software consultancy companies do in the AI transformation?
They have a special position in the software ecosystem and AI-driven data-polarization which has traditionally been based on the scarcity of experts. So, when the AI-transformation is needed across the board, surely the scarcity of AI experts will provide a convective updraft for the software consultancy companies with the AI experts?
Perhaps. But there are many challenges.
First of all, classical software consultancy houses are typically at a disadvantage in attracting the best AI people. The compensation isn't competitive when the domain is capital-intensive and you're structured into a labor-intensive setting. For large capital concentration, you want to hire the best people no matter the cost because otherwise your capital doesn't produce value.
There is also the Claude Code effect where businesses won't contract with consultancy companies for small non-core projects because AI can do those as well.
In AI-driven data-polarization, the data is created by applied AI companies, and the models by foundation model providers. Both of these positions are defensible in the medium-term future. But is a position based on talent scarcity defensible? When that talent is hard to attract as well?
I think software consultancy houses should really re-evaluate their strategy. They should focus on AI and on lifting the capability level of specific domains by sharing data management and refinement practices. With that, they become capital-intensive in a way because data is capital, and become able to attract talent, and sit in a defensible position in the ecosystem.
Without this AI and data-focus, the software consultancies will wither against Claude Code eating their bread, talents choosing to go elsewhere, and the position being inherently indefensible in the coming AI-driven, data-polarized economy.
