@Jon Kelly I’ll see your Claude dismissal and raise you a Claude Code! Also, I wouldn’t be so quick to label Claude as just a chatbot. Claude 3.7 Sonnet is a hybrid model with reasoning and multimodal capabilities. You also bring up an interesting point with respect to what is considered a tool and what isn’t. If an LLM is being called via API to perform a specific function…wouldn’t that effectively make its function tool-like in nature? For that matter, what are agents then? Tools that use tools?
Pleasure to meet all of you, and appreciate the invite. We may join and depart at different stops, but the stories we share along the way are sure to be memorable!
