Multi-agent systems as distributed software (opens in new tab)

TLDR: Agents are being used with less and less human steering. But autonomous agents are instances of distributed systems with many complex failure cases. We advocate for a fault-tolerant and functional approach to designing these systems for reliability, drawing inspiration from Erlang. We bake this approach into a new version of our open source agent orchestration library called ramure - making it easy to write reliable agent software.
