160. Software is Feeding the World In one of the most famous Sherlock Holmes short stories, "The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans" Holmes tells Dr. Watson about the experience and expertise of his older brother Mycroft. "All other men are specialists, but his specialism is omniscience. We will suppose that a minister needs information as to a point which involves the Navy, India, Canada and the bimetallic question; he could get his separate advices from various departments upon each, but only Mycroft can focus them all, and say offhand how each factor would affect the other" We want our LLMs and ChatBots to be like Mycroft and not go to an individual model to get the answer to the “bimetallic question” (whatever that means!) For this to happen, we should design our systems so different LLMs can talk with each other. The natural language interface will make it easier to get your team of LLMs to work together and for a Mycroft type LLM to put everything together in context. It will require thinking through data security, authorization, authentication, and system / software architecture. This week’s edition was inspired by an "LLM mesh" about "open and sociable agents" post by Feroz Sheikh of Syngenta Also, in this week's edition Biome Makers Inc. joins a cross value chain alliance to make sugarcane (one of the most important crops) farming more sustainable. The alliance brings farmers, biological products firms (BIOFABRICA SIGLO XXI SA DE CV), standards organizations (Bonsucro), agribusiness giant Syngenta Group (PATRICIA TOLEDO), and others together. Will such a collaboration work? Bluewhite has joined in a partnership with CNH with an autonomy first or autonomy forward approach. This is in contrast with approaches take by Verdant Robotics and FarmWise, which are autonomy last (Verdant) or autonomy later (Farmwise). What drives the decision to focus on autonomy now vs. autonomy later?
