Andrew Ng claims prompting will die in 6 months, advocates loops and graphs for self-improving agents

Andrew Ng presents a 2-hour lecture arguing that 'prompting will die in 6 months,' with structured loops and graphs replacing one-off prompts. He demonstrates building agents that improve autonomously through structured iteration, suggesting the first 15 minutes surpass the value of $500 courses, and points to a full guide on the new architecture.
