CMU PhD on adaptive AI agents: from memory & skills to context adaptation, what's the challenge?
Diyi_Yang · x · 2026-08-15
DiyiYang retweets ZhiruoW's thread about adaptive AI agents. ZhiruoW discusses how the meaning of 'adaptive' has shifted: early on it meant inducing reusable memory and skills from experience, but now base models have that knowledge, so the real gap is adapting to specific contexts (user, company). This must be done efficiently. The podcast also debates automation vs. collaboration and building agents that empower users by understanding human workflows.
