Part 4/10:
An essential distinction in the ongoing AI conversation is between models like GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) and AI agents. Models are predominantly for generating responses or text, while agents possess a semblance of agency, awareness, or goals. This aspect allows agents to act upon their environment, evaluating context and responding with autonomy.
AI agents, like those leveraging the Manus framework, are being designed not merely to respond but to think and act strategically. They are adept at performing complex tasks such as researching real estate options or managing scheduling, exemplifying this new wave of AI capabilities.
