Optimizing AI Agents: Resolving Ambiguity via Environment, Human, and Model
brandon_galang · x · 2026-08-09
The author shares a mental model for pushing AI agents and models to their limits: better models and agents can resolve more ambiguity with less steering.
He points out that ambiguity can be resolved across three dimensions:
- The environment
- The human in the loop
- The model itself
Ultimately, getting better at applying AI means learning how to optimize each of these three factors.
