This month's Machine Intelligence Reading List covers agent architectures and developer tooling for LLM-powered systems. Will Larson examines building internal agents and code-driven vs LLM-driven workflows, while Google's research on scaling agent systems tackles multi-agent coordination. The Agentic AI Handbook rounds out the agent theme with production-ready patterns.

On the tooling side, Steve Yegge's Gas Town and Beads projects explore multi-agent programming, and Continuous-Claude-v3 tackles context management for long-running sessions. The collection also includes structured LLM outputs, research on divergent creativity in LLMs, and a reminder that today's organisations don't have an AI problem so much as an integration one.

As always, the Quantum Fax Machine Propellor Hat Key will guide your browsing. Enjoy! machine-intelligence-propellor-hat-key.png
