The article discusses the emergence of agentic AI, the fifth wave of computing, characterized by enhanced large language models (LLMs) that carry persistent memory and autonomous decision-making capabilities. It highlights the enthusiasm around this technology, but warns of the operational complexities on Day 2, particularly regarding cost and maintenance. The potential scale of agentic AI usage is unprecedented, with expectations of trillions of interactions, complicating systems performance due to the divergent behaviors of human and agent users. The unpredictability of resource management and transactions per second is emphasized, suggesting a need for new operational strategies.
Agentic AI represents an evolution in computing, providing large language models with persistent memory and the ability to make independent decisions based on contextual data.
Day 1 with Agentic AI seems promising with exciting demos, but reality hits hard on Day 2 when operational costs and maintenance challenges become apparent.
The traditional user base for technology has grown from millions to billions with mobile, and now Agentic AI aims for trillions, leading to unpredictable load and performance.
Interacting with LLMs poses unique challenges as human behaviors differ significantly from agents, complicating the predictability of system behavior and resource management.
