AI agents. Agentic AI. Agentic architectures. Agentic workflows. Agentic patterns. Agents are everywhere. But what exactly are they, and how do we build robust and effective agentic systems? While the term "agent" is used broadly, a key characteristic is their ability to dynamically plan and execute tasks, often leveraging external tools and memory to achieve complex goals.

Did you know that the World Wide Web was born in Geneva, Switzerland? Indeed, the first version of the Internet cropped up at CERN in 1989. Today the world-renowned center is home to the largest particle accelerator and to the CERN Science Gateway – a must-see hub for science enthusiasts that features hands-on exhibits, immersive virtual reality experiences, and live demonstrations.

AI agents are becoming increasingly integral to businesses across various industries. The architecture behind these systems plays a pivotal role in ensuring that AI agents function autonomously, make accurate decisions, and perform tasks efficiently. As we move into 2025, AI agent architecture continues to evolve, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in automation, personalization, and real-time decision-making.

How I almost misinterpreted my results when using the wrong type of log…Although normal distributions are the most commonly used, a lot of real-world data unfortunately is not normal. When faced with extremely skewed data, it’s tempting for us to utilize log transformations to normalize the distribution and stabilize the variance.

Enumerative combinatorics is a branch of mathematics focused on counting the elements of a set…For example, determining the number of unique user IDs in a database is a problem in enumerative combinatorics…This article showcases how programmers without formal math backgrounds can use observation and pattern recognition to approach problems in enumerative combinatorics…

Google just debuted AlphaEvolve, a coding agent that harnesses Gemini and evolutionary strategies to craft algorithms for scientific and computational challenges — driving efficiency inside Google and solving historic math problems. AlphaEvolve uses a mix of Gemini models (Flash for idea generation, Pro for analysis) to create code, which is tested by evaluators and evolved iteratively.
