Foundations of Artificial Intelligence Agents — Part 2: AI Agents
The second volume of the Foundations of Artificial Intelligence Agents series moves from language-model agents to the full agentic frontier: reinforcement learning, reasoning models, deep research agents, AI coding, AI scientists, and the vision-language-action models now driving a new generation of robotics.
It closes on the path toward Artificial General Intelligence — and what remains to be solved.
