It’s quite serendipitous that I read the Technological Republic manifesto that Palantir posted on the godforsaken birdsite around the same time that I listened to Adam Becker’s new podcast, Dreaming Against The Machine (https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-1-with-155584137). Adam’s first guest was journalist and writer Reo Eveleth, who talked about “futurists”, a lineage of people who one way or another managed to position themselves as technological soothsayers of how Things Should Be, for fun and (mostly) profit.
The serendipity moment is that I learned that the (capital-F) Futurists of Italy wrote a manifesto that was similar in spirit to this one, way back in 1909. But the technology they were convinced would drive their militaristic movement wasn’t #AI, it was…the automobile.
Here’s the Futurist Manifesto of 1909: https://designmanifestos.org/f-t-marinetti-manifesto-of-futurism/
And here’s the Technological Republic manifesto: https://twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398573453312
Tell me it wasn’t written by the same 20-year old incel.

Furthermore, it is highly unlikely these LLMs are (a) trained on proprietary software, and (b) any proprietary software company that so-trained would later claim infringement.

I think the biggest contribution of AI in software engineering is likely to waste everyone’s time in a massively-scaled, distributed way.
It’s now *far* easier to generate plausible-looking code than it is to evaluate their fitness for use. Weird, sloppy vibe code that get accepted will act as architectural landmines, generating bugs for the future, and setting invisible traps and technical debt, further wasting the time of future maintainers.
And no, the answer is not to deal with the incoming AI deluge with AI reviewers, because two unreliable authors do not make a trustworthy product. Humans who have experience, skill, and intent must still maintain software that lasts any non-trivial amount of time, and we’ve just built the tools to massively DDoS them.

From Sabine's email for the day:
Researchers from OpenAI have put forward an industrial policy for artificial intelligence and it’s quite a read. They propose a legally recognised “Right to AI,” meaning broad public access to powerful systems, backed by government-funded compute resources so that researchers, startups, and public institutions can run models themselves, rather than rely on a few companies.
To make this reality, they want to see an expansion of electricity supply for data centres by fast-tracking nuclear and renewables. They also suggest a national wealth fund that captures a share of AI-driven profits and redistributes it to citizens, alongside taxes or levies on highly automated systems, effectively a “robot tax”.
Of course none of that has any chance of happening, but OpenAI can now claim they care about the common man.

I always ask similar questions like the following,
There are a lot of folk who are pissed off at Linus Torvalds, for allowing some of his maintainers to use large language models to assist in finding bugs.
The Head Programmer of the fantastic and Beautiful curl also uses a large language model in some form, to hunt for bugs, because both he and Greg from the Linux kernel, saw that the LLM used on GitHub is now suddenly much better at finding those pesky bugs.
Mind you, the only LLM I like is the one that runs locally on my low powered Android phone. That's a micro LLM

I’ve ended my paid support of the [redacted]† podcast because of their breathless support for #AI of late. They have tempered their cheerleading of late, but they still appear to stand firmly in the (privileged) camp of “it works for me, and I like it, so deal with it”—so yeah, I’m dealing with it using my wallet.

Good explanation what Mythos is and what it's not, it did impressive things like finding a 27 year old bug in Open BSD. So please don't say that AI/LLMs can only reproduce their training data....A myth that won't go away. On the other hand Mythos still has many of the characteristics that make AI/LLMs problematic, it still makes mistakes, is not AGI or self-improving.

@parismarx I believe there is a lot of confusion over Google AI. "Google AI" is the umbrella term for the company's research division, but Gemini is the actual model we interact with. News reports often use "Google AI" as a catch-all when in fact Gemini is the consolidated brand replacing previous names like Bard and Duet.

“Facial scans are also fair game. The amendments require those who acquire facial images to explain how they handle the data, but offering a chance to opt out won’t be mandatory.”
“But in the event of a data leak, organizations will not need to notify impacted citizens if there is little risk of harm to individuals.”

Clicking through the links revealed (as did a subsequent editor’s note and clarification by Axios) that the public opinion poll was a computer simulation run by the artificial intelligence start-up Aaru. No people were involved in the creation of these opinions.
The practice Aaru used is called silicon sampling, and it’s suddenly everywhere.

Really good thread, and a really good blog post, or essay, I should say. I respect the honesty in it, and I understand the standpoint.
However, I want to share a genuinely different experience: using Claude Code and similar tools has actually made coding more enjoyable for me, not less. And I don’t think I’m in denial about that. I've learned a lot more over the past year through GenAI since ever before, and I've been coding for the web almost every day for nearly 30 years.
The difference might come down to how you approach it. If your relationship with the tool turns into just "tapping Y and hoping for the best", then yeah, that IS miserable. But that's not the only way to look at it.
For me, it feels more like having a really fast pair programming partner. I still make the architectural decisions, I still write specs, I still understand why things are the way they are, and I still review everything. And I still code, some. But I no longer need to power through the tedious parts, the boilerplate, the plumbing, the bits I've written hundreds of times. That frees me up to focus on what I actually enjoy: the design, the problem-solving, the features, the "what if we tried this" moments, the drafting, and the documentation.
The drinky bird pipeline is real, and it’s a valid concern but it’s not inevitable. It’s a choice. The tool doesn't make you check out, but it does make it easy to, and that’s something worth being honest about.
Where I completely agree: the systemic concerns don't go away just because individual use can be responsible. And the skill-atrophy risk is real for those still building their foundations. Not everyone is in the same position when picking up these tools.

One thing that continues to grate on my conscience about #AI is how artists and writers consistently feel that the technology has STOLEN from them. We all know that web scraping is (and should be) a perfectly legal and acceptable use, because preventing it also prevents all sorts of beneficial behaviors—the Internet Archive wouldn’t be able to exist, for one thing.
But yet, the very nature of AI takes scraped content and regurgitates it as a pink-slime extrusion that it feeds back into the web. And to creators, that just FEELS WRONG; it feels like stolen valor, it feels like exploitation.
And it’s something I can’t (and shouldn’t) shake from my mind each time I see something made by AI. Just because something is LEGAL doesn’t mean it isn’t ABUSIVE and UNETHICAL. Scolding people who complain about AI by telling them that web scraping is good, actually, doesn’t address the main complaint: that somehow, these AI assholes have EXPLOITED A COMMON GOOD and we can’t quite figure out how to stop it.

What an inspiring, powerful letter by Emily Tucker, Executive Directory of the Center on Privacy and Technology, Georgetown Law.
“But the great thing is, you don’t have to go along with this, and I urge you not to. You can refuse to use the chatbot. You can tell your professors that you don’t want them to use it or to require you to use it. At a minimum, you can demand that they assess the work of those who actually want to do the work themselves differently from the work of those who want the chatbot to do it for them. You can organize against “AI” requirements in degree programs and against data products, surveillance systems, and automation in all aspects of your university experience. You can create student groups dedicated to the rejection of all these things, and to the imagination of what you would like your education to be like instead.”

I suspect LLMs reinforce the Gell-Mann amnesia effect. Experts who query LLMs about their fields of expertise will *quickly* realize how wrong their output can be, how quick they are to confabulate, and how eager they are to confirm one’s biases. Sometimes, replying “No, that’s wrong, try again” can cause an LLM to generate a completely different—and often opposite—answer to the same query, which makes no sense if the LLM had *actually* worked out an independently coherent answer.
Asking an LLM to comment about a subject you know nothing about—or worse, know a little bit about—is a psychologically dangerous activity. Not only will it confirm your biases, it will do so in a way that *appears* to be objective and independent, using fallacies that lie just beyond your ability to discern. At best, you will be misled. At worst, you will begin spiraling down a path of conspiracy thinking.
Be extremely suspicious of answers that are especially satisfying; you might have just gaslit yourself.
@drahardja@sfba.social · Reply to Dave Rahardja's post
Remember, LLMs are trained by humans who reward the models for creating output that “meet their expectations”. This kind of training cannot help but reward output that please the user, regardless of accuracy. Even if the most blatant sycophancy is explicitly addressed during training, *subtle* sycophancy is likely impossible to avoid, because they are indistinguishable from “meeting expectations” to human trainers.
@drahardja@sfba.social
I saw a post recently wherein someone used LLM tools to analyze someone else’s software, which eventually led them to a conclusion that was essentially completely wrong. Not only that, the LLM drew conclusions about the *authors* behind the code that were borderline character assassination. Nevertheless, this person posted this output as though it were some kind of deep insight.
These LLM outputs are not independent thoughts. The LLM probably ingested hints of (maybe unconscious) biases in the user’s prompts within its context window, and regurgitated something that confirmed those biases. The user was pleased that their biases were confirmed (Independently! By an impartial LLM!), and they posted the output, maybe as vindication of their insight.
These models’ sycophancy can be subtle. They don’t have to state “You’re absolutely right!” to blow smoke up your ass. Sometimes they seem to confirm your preconceived notion after they supposedly “evaluate” information “independently”.

By the way, #Anthropic #ai expressly says in their ToS that they can access and analyze your content, and will use it for training unless you opt out.
“Our use of Materials [your session contents]. We may use Materials to provide, maintain, and improve the Services and to develop other products and services, including training our models, unless you opt out of training through your account settings. Even if you opt out, we will use Materials for model training when: (1) you provide Feedback to us regarding any Materials, or (2) your Materials are flagged for safety review to improve our ability to detect harmful content, enforce our policies, or advance our safety research.”

There have been more than one person who suggests that I use Claude Code #ai to extract information from my Obsidian (https://obsidian.md) vault. I entertained the idea for a minute before I realized that it meant uploading my entire vault to Anthropic’s cloud for context, and my vault contains extremely sensitive information about my health and my family’s health, my career, my side projects, and entries that I’d rather keep to myself.
I wonder if I’d be willing to give this a try if I had a model that worked entirely locally. But as it stands, NOPE. I don’t trust cloud folk with my journal.

The reason why many post some variation on “ethical issues aside” whilst discussing LLMs, is that after those issues are solved, what’s left is interesting. Moreover, a world where those issues were solved would be a much better one (no intellectual property, clean abundant energy, people’s livelihood not depending on their output etc).

Another great episode of Pivot To AI from @davidgerard! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBEOdoYs8v8
There is no doubt that AI compute costs are eventually going to come to haunt its users; we are being substantially subsidized at $20/month, or even $200/month. But I think many of us will be shocked at HOW MUCH we are being subsidized. A 90% subsidy isn’t out of the question.
I predicted in 2023 that 2024 was going to be the year of reckoning for AI adopters, because their bills will come due, and they will get sticker shock when they see the totals, and that would eventually ruin AI providers. BOY WAS I WRONG. Turns out, there was at least two more years’ worth of VC money that were ready to come out of nowhere and subsidize the end users’ bills. This money will eventually run out. But when?

The research backs this up. Psychologists call it the “vigilance decrement”, monitoring a nearly perfect system is boring, boredom leads to mind-wandering, and drivers need 5 to 8 seconds to mentally reengage after an automated system hands control back. But emergencies unfold faster than that...."

the main purpose of #AIslop is to kill any unionization efforts by tech workers.
now, more than ever, tech workers need to organize into guilds that’ll represent them beyond employment.

@ai6yr I observed this effect first hand over 20 years ago supervising a dot-com era news project that was assisted by early AI technology.
It was early, but the #AI did some impressive things already. It easily outsmarted the humans who were hired to supervise it, but that was only because the humans had a lot to learn.
Once the humans caught up, the AI wasn't all that useful. What seemed like a superpower technology day one on the job would become a babysitting chore by 6 months.
Ultimately, people always preferred to do the work directly. It wasn't just less boring that way. It was also less frustrating.
What we experienced was worse than simple vigilance fatigue because it was boredom multiplied by the frustration of not having control.
If you make a mistake, you have an idea what happened and can choose to make changes. However terrible, you maintain locus of control.
When the black box screws up, there's nothing you can do. You're learning helplessness inside an absurd Kafka-Beckett collab.

"...His core argument: Tesla is asking humans to supervise a system that is specifically designed to make supervision feel pointless. As he puts it, an unreliable machine keeps you alert, and a perfect machine needs no oversight, but one that works almost perfectly creates a trap where drivers trust it just enough to stop paying attention.
The research backs this up. Psychologists call it the “vigilance decrement”, monitoring a nearly perfect system is boring, boredom leads to mind-wandering, and drivers need 5 to 8 seconds to mentally reengage after an automated system hands control back. But emergencies unfold faster than that...."

I get that you "hate" how AI can be abused & misused but I've found it very useful in answering open-ended fact-based questions that would take too long (if not impossible) to answer with a standard word-based Net search.
For example, I needed to make a pricing decision about a collectible folding knife originally made in 2014 & #ChatGBT gave me a specific inflation estimate of 35-40% based on CPI data that would have been very hard to find doing a typical word search.
So, #AI isn't all bad IMO. 🤷🏻♂️

@drahardja@sfba.social · Reply to Dave Rahardja's post
Note that the report claims “technology to prevent this harm already exists”, citing Anthropic’s Claude for “consistently [trying] to dissuade users from acts of violence”. But Claude *did* assist in planning violence 32% of the time. I’m not sure I’d consider that “prevention”.
I believe these LLMs cannot be fully secured; harmful output can be *reduced* but not prevented. There is asymmetry between the number of people who find new ways (accidentally or intentionally) to extract harmful content from the models than the people preventing harm.
I think we have to accept that these models will always produce some amount of harmful content (never mind inaccurate or sycophantic or manipulative or biased or…), and set our expectations accordingly if we were to use them.

"Grammarly’s “expert review” feature offers to give users writing advice “inspired by” subject matter experts, including recently deceased professors, as Wired reported on Wednesday. When I tried the feature out myself, I found some experts that came as a surprise for a different reason — one of them was my boss.
The AI-generated feedback included comments that appeared to be from The Verge’s editor-in-chief, Nilay Patel, as well as editor-at-large David Pierce and senior editors Sean Hollister and Tom Warren, none of whom gave Grammarly permission to include them in the “expert reviews.”
The feature, which launched in August, claims to help you “sharpen your message through the lens of industry-relevant perspectives.” When users select the “expert review” button in the Grammarly sidebar, it analyzes their writing and surfaces AI-generated suggestions “inspired by” related experts. Those “industry-relevant perspectives” include the likes of Stephen King, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Carl Sagan, among many others.
The Verge found numerous other tech journalists named in the feature, as well, including former Verge editors Casey Newton and Joanna Stern, former Verge writer Monica Chin, Wired’s Lauren Goode, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Jason Schreier, The New York Times’ Kashmir Hill, The Atlantic’s Kaitlyn Tiffany, PC Gamer’s Wes Fenlon, Gizmodo’s Raymond Wong, Digital Foundry founder Richard Leadbetter, Tom’s Guide editor-in-chief Mark Spoonauer, former Rock Paper Shotgun editor-in-chief Katharine Castle, and former IGN news director Kat Bailey. The descriptions for some experts contain inaccuracies, such as outdated job titles, which could have been accurately updated had Superhuman asked those people for permission to reference their work."

Today’s #AI relies on human exploitation, hidden from view, presented as fashionable, convenient technology. It’s our generation’s Dumb Waiter, that hides the kitchen staff laboring in the heat and grime away from your socialite guests, but still delivers the fruits of their labor through a shiny and convenient portal.
From Meta’s use of Kenyan forced labor to power their AI glasses, to humanoid “domestic servant robots” that are remote controlled by unseen humans with low wages, it’s all human exploitation hidden behind a veil of technology, and a massive privacy sinkhole.

Once again #AI provides cover and incentive for human exploitation and a massive abuse of privacy.
Did you expect your Meta “AI” glasses to send videos to Nairobi, Kenya, where a group of people are forced to watch videos and annotate them without complaining, no matter how scarring the footage? Because they are. That’s how #Meta is training their models: by exploiting the Global South and massively violating your privacy.
“And regardless of the wearer’s intention, much of the footage being recorded by the glasses is being sent to offshore contractors for data labeling, a widely-used preprocessing step in training new AI models in which human contractors are asked to review and annotate footage. It’s a laborious and highly resource-intensive process that tech companies often gloss over when discussing the prowess of their latest AI models.”
When I say I have concerns about the ethics of today’s AI, THIS SHIT is a prime example. Is this ethical? Is this ANYWHERE NEAR ethical?

이 글은 AI 에이전트 시스템을 만들며 쌓은 경험을 정리한 것으로, 2026년 2월에 썼다. 두 부분으로 구성된다. 첫 번째 부분은 총론이고, 두 번째 부분은 각론이다.
이 분야는 빠르게 변하고 있어, 여기에 쓴 교훈도 금방 낡을 수 있다. 컨텍스트 윈도는 이 글 전반에 걸쳐 반복되는 제약이지만, 미래에는 그렇지 않을 수도 있다. "차근차근 생각하라(Let's think step by step)"는 2022년 발표된 이래 널리 권장되었지만 [1], 최근 연구에 따르면 이 기법은 이제 덜 중요해졌다 [2]. 이 글의 내용도 일부는 그런 운명을 맞을 것이다.
AI 에이전트 시스템을 위한 목표는 명확하고, 유용하고, 달성 가능해야 한다.
명확하다는 것은 테스트할 수 있을 만큼 구체적이라는 뜻이다. "개발자의 코딩 작업을 돕는다"는 목표가 아니라 범주다. 목표는 "GitHub 이슈 설명과 Python 저장소가 주어지면, 기존 테스트를 통과하는 PR을 생성한다" 같은 것이다. 후자에서는 어떤 입력을 준비해야 하는지, 어떤 출력을 평가해야 하는지, 평가 기준이 무엇인지가 드러난다. 목표의 범위를 좁혀야 한다. 범용 시스템은 평가하기 어렵고, 개선하기 어렵고, 제대로 작동하는지 알기도 어렵다. 좁은 범위에서 시스템이 잘 작동하면 범위를 넓히는 것을 고려할 수 있다.
유용하다는 것은 목표를 달성했을 때 실제 문제가 해결된다는 뜻이다. 이는 명확함과는 다른 개념이다. "코드베이스를 감사하여 보안 문제를 발견한다"는 잘 정의된 목표일 수 있고, 내 경험상 달성 가능하기도 하다. 하지만 이미 알고 있는 보안 문제를 해결하는 데도 허덕이고 있다면, 잠재적 오탐을 포함하는 더 많은 문제를 대기열에 추가하는 것은 유용하지 않다. 질문은 단순히 "이것을 할 수 있는가?"가 아니라 "이것이 실제로 원하는 것인가?"다.
달성 가능하다는 것은 현재 모델 능력을 감안했을 때 현실적이라는 뜻이다. SWE-bench Verified 같은 벤치마크는 현재 AI가 어떤 코딩을 할 수 있는지 대략적인 감을 준다. 다른 분야에도 비슷한 벤치마크가 있다. 목표를 달성하기 위해 현재 모델이 일관되게 실패하는 무언가를 안정적으로 해야 한다면 그것은 현실적으로 어려울 수 있다. 모델 능력은 꾸준히 발전하고 있으므로, 작업이 급하지 않다면 현재 한계에 맞춰 어떻게든 시스템을 구축하기보다 기다리는 것이 나을 수 있다.
인간 전문가가 목표를 달성하기 위해 무엇을 할지 모호함 없이 설명할 수 있는가? 결과물이 나오면 실제로 사용하겠는가? 그렇지 않다면, 작업을 시작하기 전에 목표를 더 다듬어야 한다.
측정할 수 없는 것은 개선할 수 없다. 평가는 에이전트에 가한 변경 -- 다른 모델, 새 프롬프트, 다른 도구 -- 이 상황을 좋아지게 했는지 나빠지게 했는지 판단하는 수단이다. 평가 없이는 눈을 감고 운전하는 것과 같다.
평가는 객관적인 것이 좋다. 목표가 "기존 테스트를 통과하는 PR을 생성한다"라면, 평가는 테스트를 실행하는 것이다. 테스트는 통과하거나 실패할 것이다. 객관적 평가는 빠르고, 저렴하고, 일관적이다. 목표를 객관적 기준을 중심으로 설계할 수 있다면, 그렇게 하라.
객관적 평가가 어렵다면 주관적 평가도 가능하다. 주관적 평가는 사람이 할 수도 있고 AI가 할 수도 있다 (LLM-as-a-judge). 두 경우 모두 채점 기준(scoring rubric)이 도움이 된다. 채점 기준이란 각 항목별로 어떤 것이 좋은 답변이고 어떤 것이 나쁜 답변인지 명확하게 설명한 기준 목록이다. 채점 기준이 없으면 평가자 간 일치도(inter-rater agreement)가 낮다. 동일한 출력을 두 평가자가 평가하면 의견이 갈리고, 같은 평가자도 시간이 지나면 기준이 흔들린다. 채점 기준은 여러 평가 실행 간에 점수를 비교 가능하게 한다. AI가 평가하는 경우에도 명확한 채점 기준을 받은 모델은 그렇지 않은 모델보다 더 일관된 점수를 준다.
평가가 반드시 갖춰야 할 두 가지 속성이 있다. 목표를 반영해야 하고, 속이기 어려워야 한다.
목표를 반영한다는 것은 평가에서 좋은 점수를 받으면 목표도 실제로 달성된다는 뜻이다. 실제와 동떨어진 평가는 에이전트를 엉뚱한 방향으로 최적화한다. 에이전트의 목표가 고객 지원 티켓 처리라면, 비슷해 보이지만 실제의 복잡함이 없고 단순한 합성 데이터보다 실제 고객 지원 티켓으로 평가하는 것이 바람직하다.
속이기 어렵다는 것은 에이전트가 지표를 조작해 좋은 점수를 받을 수 없어야 한다는 뜻이다. 평가가 "테스트를 통과하는가"를 측정하는데 에이전트가 테스트를 수정할 수 있다면, 지표를 믿을 수 없다. 적대적으로 생각할 필요가 있다. 에이전트가 좋은 점수를 받았다면, 그것이 항상 실제로 더 좋은 것인가? SWE-bench Verified는 교훈적인 사례다. OpenAI는 실패의 절반 이상이 테스트 결함 때문임을 발견했다. 어떤 테스트는 문제 설명에 언급되지 않은 특정 구현 세부사항을 강제했고, 다른 어떤 테스트는 명세되지 않은 기능을 테스트했다. 그 외에도, 테스트된 모든 프론티어 모델이 정답 패치를 암기해서 그대로 재현할 수 있었는데, 이는 훈련 데이터가 오염되었음을 시사한다. 그 결과 OpenAI는 SWE-bench Verified 점수 보고를 중단했다 [3].
작게 시작하라. 개발 초기에는 평가 예시 열 개로도 충분한 경우가 많다. 초기에는 에이전트가 작동하지 않는 상태에서 작동하는 상태로 전환되고 있으므로, 열 개의 예시만으로도 변화를 감지할 수 있다. 에이전트가 성숙해 더 작은 점진적인 개선을 하게 되면 열 개의 예시로는 감지가 어려워진다. 감지하려는 개선이 작아질수록 평가 예시를 늘려야 한다.
에이전트의 로그는 큰 가치가 있다. 실패한 에이전트의 로그를 읽어보는 것만으로도 많은 것을 알 수 있다. 모델은 생성하면서 생각하기 때문에 그 사고 과정이 로그에 남는다. 그러한 로그를 읽으면 모델이 도구 결과를 잘못 읽고, 잘못된 가정을 하고, 이후 여러 턴에 걸쳐 잘못된 가정을 고수하는 모습을 볼 수 있다. 이것은 다른 방법으로는 얻을 수 없는 귀한 정보이며, 그렇기 때문에 로그에는 투자할 가치가 있다.
최소한 모델의 모든 상호작용을 기록해야 한다. 기록해야 하는 항목으로 사용한 모델, 전체 입력 (시스템 프롬프트와 도구 정의 포함), 전체 출력, 소요 시간, 비용이 있다. 비용 추적을 하지 않으면 나중에 재구성하기 어렵다. 지연 시간 데이터는 모델이나 프롬프트 변경을 비교해 속도와 품질 간의 트레이드오프를 분석해야 할 때 꼭 필요하다.
로그는 사람이 직접 살펴보는 것과 자동화된 분석을 지원해야 한다. 사람이 직접 살펴보려면 로그를 보기 쉬운 형태로 읽을 수 있어야 하고 시간, 작업, 결과, 비용 등으로 검색할 수 있어야 한다. 자동화된 분석을 위해서는 모델이 질의할 수 있는 구조화된 형식으로 데이터가 존재해야 한다. 텍스트 파일로만 존재하는 로그는 개별 실패를 디버깅하는 데 유용하지만, 질의 가능한 형식으로 저장된 로그는 통계적인 질문을 할 수 있게 한다. 어떤 작업의 실패율이 가장 높은가? 어떤 프롬프트가 가장 긴 추론을 만드는가? 성공한 실행당 평균 비용은 얼마인가?
AI 에이전트 로그 관리를 위한 도구들이 있다. Langfuse [4]와 Logfire [5] 모두 살펴볼 가치가 있다. 하지만 기존 도구가 해결해 주지 않는 필요가 있다면 직접 도구를 만드는 것도 생각해봐야 한다. 그것은 독립적인 도구일 수도 있고 기존 플랫폼 위에 구축된 것일 수도 있다.
로그를 나중에 추가할 인프라로 생각해서는 안된다. 로그가 없는 고통을 느낄 때가 되면, 가장 큰 도움이 되었을 로그는 이미 잃어버린 뒤다.
에이전트를 개선하기 위해 모델, 프롬프트, 도구를 바꿀 수 있다.
모델은 시스템 성능에서 가장 중요한 요소다. 더 좋은 모델은 평범한 프롬프트를 구제할 수 있지만, 나쁜 모델은 완벽한 프롬프트로도 구제할 수 없다. 새로운 모델은 계속해서 나온다. 핵심은 새 모델을 빠르게 테스트할 수 있어야 한다는 것이다. 모델을 교체하고, 평가를 실행하고, 점수를 비교한다. 평가가 잘 갖춰져 있다면 이 작업은 며칠이 아니라 몇십 분이 걸려야 한다. 모델 평가가 쉬워야 새 모델을 빠르게 적용할 수 있다.
프롬프트는 일상적인 개선이 일어나는 곳이다. 프롬프트를 개선하는 올바른 방법은 모델이 원하는 것을 상상하는 것이 아니라 로그를 읽는 것이다. 실패한 실행의 로그는 보통 모델이 무엇을 오해했는지, 프롬프트의 어떤 부분이 전달되지 않았는지 보여준다. 변경사항은 평가로 검증해야 한다. 어떤 실패를 고치는 프롬프트 변경이 다른 어떤 경우를 조용히 망가뜨릴 수 있다.
도구는 모델과 세상 사이의 인터페이스이며, 사용자 인터페이스처럼 주의 깊게 설계해야 한다. 설계의 목표는 올바른 사용을 쉽게 하고 잘못된 사용을 어렵게 만드는 것이다. 모델이 도구를 자주 잘못 사용한다면 -- 인자를 잘못된 형식으로 전달하거나, 잘못된 맥락에서 호출하거나, 출력을 오해한다면 -- 그것은 모델의 문제가 아니라 도구의 문제다. 사용자가 계속 같은 실수를 하면 사용자가 아니라 UI를 다시 설계하듯이, 모델이 의도하지 않은 행동을 계속하면 모델에 맞춰주는 것이 좋을 수 있다.
세 가지 모두 직관보다는 평가로 변경하는 것이 바람직하다. 무엇이 도움이 될지에 대한 직관은 자주 틀리지만, 평가 점수는 그렇지 않다.
언어 모델은 세상에 대한 방대한 지식을 가지고 있다. 프로그래밍 언어와 과학의 개념과 역사적 사실을 이해한다. 하지만 우리 조직과 코드베이스, 내부 도구, 해당 분야의 관습에 대해서는 잘 모른다. 모델의 잘못이 아니라 알려주지 않았기 때문이다.
실용적인 해결책은 모델에게 필요한 것을 주는 것이다. 정보 소스와 사용법을 제공해야 한다. 에이전트가 내부 데이터베이스를 질의해야 한다면, 그렇게 할 수 있는 CLI를 주고 사용법 문서도 같이 준다. 코드베이스 특유의 관습을 따라야 한다면, 그 관습을 파일에 적어 둔다. 지식 베이스를 참조해야 한다면, 검색 도구를 주고 스키마를 설명한다. 모델의 추론 능력보다 추론할 재료가 문제인 경우가 많다.
Anthropic은 이 패턴을 에이전트 스킬 [6]로 공식화했다. 스킬은 지침이 담긴 SKILL.md 파일과 지원 스크립트 및 리소스로 구성된 폴더다. 시작할 때 에이전트는 설치된 각 스킬의 이름과 설명만 미리 읽어둔다. 작업이 관련 스킬을 트리거하면, 에이전트는 전체 지침과 링크된 파일을 필요에 따라 읽는다. 이 점진적 공개 설계 덕분에 컨텍스트 윈도에는 한계가 있지만 스킬에는 그보다 많은 컨텍스트를 담을 수 있다.
Anthropic의 스킬 형식을 사용하지 않더라도, 아이디어는 일반적으로 적용할 수 있다.. 에이전트에게 필요하지만 일반 지식으로는 유추할 수 없는 컨텍스트가 무엇인지 파악하고, 그 컨텍스트를 발견 가능한 리소스로 패키징하고, 에이전트가 필요에 따라 접근할 수 있는 도구를 주어라.
새 모델과 큰 모델이 능사는 아니다. 프론티어 모델은 비싸고 느리다. 에이전트 시스템 내의 많은 작업은 더 작은 모델로 충분하다. 실용적인 접근법은 각 작업을 안정적으로 할 수 있는 가장 작은 모델을 사용하는 것이다. 여러 모델을 대상으로 평가를 실행해 변곡점을 찾고, 그보다 한 단계 위의 모델을 쓰면 된다.
출력 토큰은 입력 토큰보다 비싸다. 따라서 입력 토큰보다 출력 토큰을 아껴야 한다. 필요한 것만 요청해 출력을 최소화하라. 작업을 위해 무거운 처리 전에 분류나 필터링이 필요하다면, 가벼운 단계를 먼저 하라. 천 개의 항목을 분류해 깊게 분석할 가치 있는 스무 개를 찾는 것은 천 개 모두 전체 분석을 실행하는 것보다 훨씬 저렴하다. 그리고 분류 단계는 분석 단계보다 더 작은 모델을 쓸 수 있는 경우가 많다.
프롬프트 캐싱은 입력 비용을 줄이는 가장 효과적인 수단 중 하나다. OpenAI와 Anthropic 모두 반복되는 프롬프트 접두사를 캐싱하므로, 매 요청 앞에 등장하는 내용 -- 시스템 프롬프트와 도구 정의 -- 은 한 번 캐싱되면 이후 호출에서 훨씬 저렴해진다. 안정적인 내용을 컨텍스트 앞에 두고 호출 사이에 편집하지 마라. 컨텍스트 편집 -- 대화의 앞부분을 재배열하거나, 요약하거나, 다듬는 것 -- 은 캐시를 파괴하므로 신중하게 접근해야 한다.
해야할 일을 배치 작업으로 구조화할 수 있다면 -- 실시간 요건 없이 처리되는 많은 독립적 입력 -- OpenAI와 Anthropic 모두 상당한 할인율로 배치 API를 제공한다. 배치 처리는 대화형 에이전트에는 적합하지 않지만, 평가 실행, 대규모 분류 작업, 지연 시간 제약이 없는 워크로드에서 비용을 크게 줄일 수 있다.
멀티 에이전트 시스템은 단순히 병렬로 실행하는 방법이 아니다. 두 가지 목적이 있다. 적당한 크기로 작업을 분해하는 것, 그리고 희소하고 제한된 자원인 컨텍스트 윈도를 아끼는 것이다.
컨텍스트 윈도 제약을 과소평가하는 경우가 많다. 컨텍스트 윈도 안의 모든 것이 모델의 주의를 두고 경쟁한다. 모든 중간 결과, 모든 도구 응답, 탐색하다 막힌 모든 막다른 길. 하나의 에이전트가 큰 작업을 처리하면 이 모든 것이 한 곳에 쌓인다. 정작 중요한 부분에 다다를 때쯤이면, 이전 단계에서 나온 무관하거나 오히려 방해가 되는 자료들로 컨텍스트가 가득 차 있다. 별도의 에이전트는 각자 자신의 작업에만 관련된 깔끔하고 집중된 컨텍스트를 갖는다.
작업 분해가 또 다른 이유다. 하나의 에이전트가 잘 처리하기에 너무 큰 작업은 보통 상호 의존성이 적은 하위 작업으로 나눌 수 있다. 오케스트레이터의 역할은 그 구조를 파악하는 것이다. 어떤 부분이 독립적으로 진행될 수 있는지, 어떤 것이 순서를 지켜야 하는지, 어떤 결과를 마지막에 종합해야 하는지. 이것은 단순한 프롬프팅 문제가 아니라 설계의 문제이다.
멀티 에이전트 아키텍처가 항상 올바른 선택은 아니다. 작업이 본질적으로 순차적이라면 -- 각 단계에서 이전의 모든 것에 대한 완전한 지식이 필요하다면 -- 에이전트를 분리해도 얻을 것이 거의 없고 문제점만 많아진다. 넓은 작업, 즉 병렬로 진행되다가 마지막에 종합하는 작업이 잘 맞는다. 단계 간 상호 의존성이 강한 촘촘하게 결합된 작업은 그렇지 않다.
멀티 에이전트 시스템은 비싸다. Anthropic에 따르면 멀티 에이전트 연구 시스템은 표준 채팅보다 약 15배 많은 토큰을 사용했다 [7]. 작업이 충분히 복잡하고 출력이 가치 있을 때만 그러한 비용이 정당화될 수 있다. 단일 에이전트로 처리할 수 있는 작업을 멀티 에이전트 시스템으로 하는 것은 낭비일 뿐이다.
서브에이전트는 오케스트레이터가 특정 하위 작업을 처리하기 위해 생성하는 에이전트이다. 별도의 컨텍스트 윈도와 도구, 실행 루프를 갖는다. 오케스트레이터는 작업을 위임하고, 결과를 기다리고, 그 결과를 자신의 컨텍스트에 통합한다.
서브에이전트에는 명확한 종료 조건이 필요하다. 완료되었음을 알리고 오케스트레이터가 사용할 수 있는 결과를 내놓는 무언가가 있어야 한다. 가장 깔끔한 메커니즘은 전용 출력 도구다. 모델이 출력 도구를 호출하면 실행이 끝나고 결과가 반환된다. 이것은 서브에이전트의 마지막 응답을 출력으로 사용하는 것보다 낫다. 명시적이고, 구조화되어 있고, 파싱하기 쉽기 때문이다.
Armin Ronacher는 모델이 출력 도구를 호출하지 못하는 경우가 있다고 지적한다 [8]. 이것은 실제 문제지만 해결할 수 없는 문제는 아니다. OpenAI와 Anthropic API 모두 특정 도구를 강제로 호출하게 할 수 있는 tool_choice 파라미터를 지원한다. 서브에이전트 실행이 끝날 때 작업을 마친 후 tool_choice를 출력 도구로 설정해 마지막 API 호출을 할 수 있다. 이렇게 하면 모델이 스스로 출력 도구를 호출하지 않으려 하더라도 구조화된 출력을 내도록 강제할 수 있다.
더 까다로운 문제는 실패다. 서브에이전트는 실패할 수 있으며, 가장 큰 피해를 주는 실패 방식은 명확한 오류가 아니라 진전 없이 길게 이어지는 실행이다. 문제가 되는 것은 오류의 증폭이다. 모델이 도구 결과를 잘못 읽고, 잘못된 방향으로 나아가고, 이후의 각 단계가 그 잘못된 기반 위에 쌓인다. 이런 실행은 턴 수 측면에서 가장 긴 경향이 있다. 성공할 서브에이전트는 대개 예측 가능한 턴 수 안에 성공한다. 그 지점을 넘어서도 계속 가는 것은 대개 막힌 것이다.
실용적인 해결책은 턴수 제한이다. 턴수 제한은 에이전트를 여러 작업에 실행해보고 성공적인 실행이 어디서 끝나는지 관찰해서 경험적으로 결정한다. 제한에 도달하면, 실행을 계속하게 두는 대신 포기하고 다시 시도한다. 깔끔한 컨텍스트로 새로 시작하면 길게 늘어진 실행이 실패할 곳에서 성공하는 경우가 많다. 이것은 에이전트가 점진적으로 진전을 이루고 있다고 생각한다면 직관에 반하지만, 오류 증폭은 막힌 에이전트가 나아지는 것이 아니라 종종 나빠지고 있음을 의미한다.
턴수 제한은 개발 중에 유용하기도 하다. 에이전트가 일상적으로 제한에 도달한다면, 그것은 작업 분해가 손질이 필요하다는 신호이거나, 도구가 모델에게 필요한 것을 주지 않고 있거나, 프롬프트가 언제 작업이 완료되었는지 충분히 명확하지 않다는 신호이다.
에이전트가 도구로 복잡한 작업을 해야 할 때 -- 여러 도구를 순서대로 호출하거나, 큰 결과를 필터링하거나, 항목 목록을 반복 처리하는 것 -- 단순한 접근법은 모델이 도구를 하나씩 호출하고, 호출 사이마다 모델을 거치는 것이다. 이것은 작동하지만 비싸고 느리다. 더 나은 방법이 있다. 모델에게 그 모든 것을 하는 코드를 생성하게 한 다음 코드를 실행하는 것이다.
이것이 가능한 이유는 언어 모델이 코드 생성에 유독 뛰어나기 때문이다. 언어 모델은 훈련에서 도구 호출보다 훨씬 많은 실제 코드를 보았다. 도구를 프로그래밍 언어의 호출 가능한 함수로 제시하면, 모델은 프로그래머가 그러듯이 반복문, 조건문, 오류 처리에 대해 추론할 수 있다. Cloudflare는 Code Mode [9]에서 명시적으로 그렇게 주장한다. 도구 호출은 모델이 드물게 접하는 패턴에 의존하지만, 코드 생성은 모델이 깊이 내면화한 패턴에 의존한다.
코드 생성의 토큰 절약 효과는 크다. 전통적인 도구 호출 루프에서는 모든 중간 결과가 모델의 컨텍스트 윈도를 거친다. 2시간짜리 회의 녹취를 가져와 CRM에 첨부하면, 전체 녹취가 컨텍스트에 두 번 들어간다. 20명 직원의 예산 데이터를 하나씩 조회하면, 요약하기 전에 20개의 응답이 모두 컨텍스트에 적재된다. 코드 생성을 사용하면 중간 결과가 실행 환경에 머물고, 최종 출력 -- 필터링된 요약, 합계 -- 만 모델에게 돌아간다. Anthropic은 대표적인 사례에서 토큰 사용량을 15만에서 2천으로 줄였다고 보고한다 [10].
실용적인 구현에는 세 가지가 필요하다.
코드 실행 환경. 생성된 코드가 어딘가에서 실행되어야 한다. 샌드박스가 필요하다. 네트워크 접근을 제한하고, 의도한 것 이외의 파일시스템 접근을 금지해야 한다. Cloudflare는 V8 isolate를 사용하고, Anthropic은 Python 컨테이너를 사용한다. 직접 구축한다면 인프라가 간단하지는 않지만, 샌드박스는 일반적으로 사용할 수 있다.
함수로 노출된 도구. 모델은 어떤 함수가 사용 가능하고 무엇을 반환하는지 알아야 한다. 출력 형식에 대한 설명이 중요하다. 도구가 JSON을 반환한다면 스키마를 설명하라. 모델이 코드를 작성하려면 기대해야 하는 결과를 알아야 한다.
도구별 옵트인. 모든 도구가 생성된 코드에서 호출 가능해야 하는 것은 아니다. Anthropic의 API는 각 도구 정의의 allowed_callers 필드로 이를 구현한다 [11]. 모델이 직접 호출하는 도구와 코드에서 호출하는 도구를 구분한다. 이 구분은 보안상 중요하다. 부작용이 있거나 민감한 출력을 가진 도구는 두 맥락에서 다른 처리가 필요할 수 있다.
도구 사용 외에도 같은 원칙이 적용된다. 에이전트가 데이터를 처리해야 할 때 -- 파일을 변환하거나, 질의 결과를 집계하거나, 목록을 필터링하는 -- 코드를 작성하게 하고 그 코드를 실행하는 것이 자연어로 데이터에 대해 추론하게 하는 것보다 나은 경우가 많다. 모델의 코드 생성 능력은 코딩 에이전트만을 위한 기능이 아니라 기본적인 도구이다.
이 패턴을 채택하고 싶다면, MCPorter [12]가 도움이 될 수 있다. MCPorter는 MCP 서버의 도구 정의에서 TypeScript 래퍼를 생성하는 오픈 소스 TypeScript 라이브러리이다.
한 가지 주의사항이 있다. 이 패턴은 실행 환경이 진정으로 격리되어 있어야 한다. 생성된 코드는 신뢰할 수 없는 입력이다. 에이전트가 악의적인 코드를 생성하게 하는 프롬프트로 공격당할 수 있다. 샌드박싱은 선택사항이 아니다.
에이전트가 기계가 읽을 수 있는 출력을 내놓아야 할 때는 -- 분류, 결정, 필드 추출 -- 구조화된 출력이 올바른 도구다. 텍스트를 파싱하는 대신, 스키마를 정의하고 모델이 채운다. 더 신뢰할 수 있고, 테스트하기 더 쉽고, 파싱 버그를 통째로 제거한다.
언어 모델은 토큰을 왼쪽에서 오른쪽으로 순서대로 생성한다. 스키마를 {"answer": "..."} 로 정의하면, 모델은 바로 답을 정한다. {"reasoning": "...", "answer": "..."} 로 정의하면, 모델은 먼저 추론하도록 강제되고 그 추론이 답에 영향을 미친다. 추론 필드가 스키마에서 답 필드보다 앞에 오므로, 출력에서도 답 앞에 온다.
나중에 추론을 완전히 버리고 답만 사용해도 된다. 성능상의 이점은 추론을 읽는 것이 아니라 모델이 추론을 생성했다는 데서 온다. 이 방법은 특별한 모델 지원 없이 추론 모델과 같은 효과를 얻을 수 있게 해 준다.
에이전트가 파일을 수정해야 한다면 파일 편집을 어떻게 구현하느냐가 시스템 성능에 중요한 영향을 미친다.
이것은 내 경험만이 아니다. Anthropic은 파일 편집 신뢰성을 명시적으로 어려운 문제 중 하나로 꼽았다 [13]. Anthropic이 API로 제공하는 텍스트 편집기 도구 [14]를 보면, str_replace 명령은 정확한 문자열 일치를 필요로 하며, 하니스는 문자열이 일치하지 않거나 여러 번 일치할 때 오류를 반환해야 한다. 문제가 충분히 어렵기 때문에 Anthropic은 도구 설계에 우회책을 내장했다 (예를 들어 파일의 절대 경로를 요구하는 것은 명시적인 오류 방지 조치다).
어려운 점은 모델이 원하는 변경에 대해 추론할 뿐 아니라, 모호함이나 오류 없이 파일에 기계적으로 적용할 수 있는 형식으로 출력을 내놓아야 한다는 것이다. 이것은 서로 다른 일이며, 어떤 형식을 선택하느냐에 따라 기계적인 적용 단계가 얼마나 자주 실패하는지가 달라진다.
현재 사용되는 주요 접근법은 다음과 같다.
전체 파일 재작성. 모델이 파일의 내용을 완전히 새로 출력한다. 구현하고 파싱하기 단순하며, 형식 오류로 실패하지 않는다. 단점은 비용(출력 토큰이 파일 크기에 비례해 증가함)과 주변 컨텍스트 손실이다. 작은 파일에서만 실용적이다.
문자열 교체. 모델이 이전 문자열과 새 문자열을 출력하면, 하니스가 찾아서 교체한다. Anthropic이 사용하는 방식이다 [14]. 실패 방식은 잘 알려져 있다. 모델은 공백과 들여쓰기를 포함해 이전 문자열을 글자 하나 하나 그대로 재현해야 하는데, 이것을 자주 틀린다. "교체할 문자열을 찾지 못했다"는 오류는 에이전트 실패의 흔한 원인이다.
patch/diff 형식. 모델이 변경사항을 설명하는 구조화된 diff를 출력한다. OpenAI의 Codex는 *** Begin Patch 와 *** End Patch 마커가 있는 커스텀 패치 형식을 사용한다. 그 자체로는 쉽게 망가지지만 Codex는 제약된 샘플링(constrained sampling)으로 이를 해결한다. 패치 형식을 Lark 문맥 자유 문법(context free grammar)으로 표현하고, 추론 시 모델 출력을 문법에 맞게 제한한다 [15]. 이것은 형식 오류를 통째로 제거한다. 이것이 OpenAI의 공개 API를 사용해 이루어진다는 점이 중요하다 [16]. 이 기법은 누구나 사용할 수 있다.
훈련된 병합 모델. Cursor는 모델의 편집 의도를 원본 파일과 병합하는 별도의 70B 모델을 훈련했다. 병합 견고성을 학습된 능력으로 만들어 형식 문제를 완전히 우회한다. 명백한 비용은 전용 모델을 훈련하고 서빙하는 데 상당한 자원이 필요하다는 것이다.
Can Bölük은 16개 모델을 180개 과제에서 벤치마킹하여 형식 선택만으로도 성공률이 달라질 수 있음을 보였다 [17]. 그의 글은 이 장과 함께 읽을 가치가 있다. 그가 제안한 형식은 각 줄에 줄 번호와 짧은 해시를 태그한다. 주요 이점은 모델이 정확한 내용을 재현하지 않고 식별자로 줄을 참조할 수 있다는 것인데, 이것이 모델에게는 훨씬 쉽다. 해시는 줄 번호에 더해서 체크섬 역할을 한다. 이전 편집으로 줄이 밀렸다면, 예상 해시와 실제 줄 내용 사이의 불일치가 잘못된 줄을 조용히 편집하는 대신 오류를 잡아낸다.
에이전트에게 도구를 준다는 것은 세상에서 실제 행동을 취할 수 있는 능력을 주는 것이다 -- 파일 읽기, 파일 쓰기, 명령 실행, 외부 서비스 호출. 도구 인가 제어는 에이전트가 자율적으로 취할 수 있는 행동과 사람의 승인이 필요한 행동을 결정하는 방법이다. 이것을 제대로 하는 것은 안전과 사용성 모두에 중요하다. 너무 제한적이면 에이전트가 일을 할 수 없고, 너무 허용적이면 모르는 사이에 피해를 줄 수 있는 자율 시스템이 된다.
먼저 이해해야 할 것은 인가와 샌드박싱이 상호 보완적이며 서로 대체할 수 없다는 것이다. 인가는 에이전트가 무엇을 하기로 결정하는지를 제어하며 에이전트 수준에서 작동한다. 샌드박싱은 에이전트가 무엇을 결정하든 관계없이 OS 수준에서 제한을 강제한다. Claude Code의 문서 [18]는 이 구분을 명확히 한다. 인가는 에이전트가 제한된 행동을 시도하는 것을 막고, 샌드박싱은 에이전트가 제한된 행동을 시도하더라도 그러한 행동이 실제로 실행되는 것을 막는다. 둘 다 사용해야 한다.
덜 명백한 점은 Bash 인가 규칙이 보이는 것보다 강한 점도 있고 약한 점도 있다는 것이다.
보이는 것보다 강한 이유는 셸 명령이 문자열로만 매칭되지 않고 파싱되기 때문이다. Claude Code는 오픈 소스가 아니지만, Bun을 사용한다고 알려져 있는데, Bun에는 셸 파서가 포함되어 있다. Codex(오픈 소스)는 Tree-sitter의 Bash 파서로 같은 작업을 한다 [19]. 스크립트가 완전한 AST로 파싱되고, 단순한 명령 이외의 것이 포함되면 파싱이 거부된다. 허용된 연산자 (&&, ||, ;, |)는 각 개별 명령을 추출하고 각각을 인가 규칙과 별도로 확인하는 방식으로 처리된다. 즉 Bash(safe-cmd *)는 safe-cmd && malicious-cmd를 허용하지 않는다. 파서가 두 개의 명령을 보고 둘 다 확인한다.
보이는 것보다 약한 이유는 명령 이름 수준에서 안전성을 알 수 없기 때문이다. 고전적인 예시가 있다. rm을 거부하고 find를 허용해도 파일 삭제가 막히지 않는다. find에는 -delete 옵션이 있기 때문이다. 많은 유닉스 명령이 이처럼 다목적이다. 특정 명령이 안전하다는 가정 하에 작성된 단순한 허용 목록은 이러한 구멍이 생기는 경향이 있으며, 에이전트나 프롬프트 인젝션을 통해 에이전트를 제어하는 공격자는 그러한 구멍을 찾아낼 수 있다.
코딩 에이전트를 위한 실용적인 인가 모델은 이런 모습일 수 있다. 읽기 작업은 승인이 필요 없다. 파일 편집은 세션당 한 번 승인이 필요하다. 셸 명령은 명령당 승인이 필요하되, 테스트 실행이나 프로젝트 빌드 같은 일반적이고 안전한 작업은 미리 승인된 허용 목록에 넣는다.
파일이나 웹를 읽는 에이전트는 그 내용으로부터 공격자의 지시를 받을 수 있다. 엄격한 인가 규칙이 주요 방어책이다. 데이터를 유출하라는 지시는 에이전트가 외부 URL에 도달할 수 없다면 성공할 수 없다.

이 글은 AI 에이전트 시스템을 만들며 쌓은 경험을 정리한 것으로, 2026년 2월에 썼다. 두 부분으로 구성된다. 첫 번째 부분은 총론이고, 두 번째 부분은 각론이다.
이 분야는 빠르게 변하고 있어, 여기에 쓴 교훈도 금방 낡을 수 있다. 컨텍스트 윈도는 이 글 전반에 걸쳐 반복되는 제약이지만, 미래에는 그렇지 않을 수도 있다. "차근차근 생각하라(Let's think step by step)"는 2022년 발표된 이래 널리 권장되었지만 [1], 최근 연구에 따르면 이 기법은 이제 덜 중요해졌다 [2]. 이 글의 내용도 일부는 그런 운명을 맞을 것이다.
AI 에이전트 시스템을 위한 목표는 명확하고, 유용하고, 달성 가능해야 한다.
명확하다는 것은 테스트할 수 있을 만큼 구체적이라는 뜻이다. "개발자의 코딩 작업을 돕는다"는 목표가 아니라 범주다. 목표는 "GitHub 이슈 설명과 Python 저장소가 주어지면, 기존 테스트를 통과하는 PR을 생성한다" 같은 것이다. 후자에서는 어떤 입력을 준비해야 하는지, 어떤 출력을 평가해야 하는지, 평가 기준이 무엇인지가 드러난다. 목표의 범위를 좁혀야 한다. 범용 시스템은 평가하기 어렵고, 개선하기 어렵고, 제대로 작동하는지 알기도 어렵다. 좁은 범위에서 시스템이 잘 작동하면 범위를 넓히는 것을 고려할 수 있다.
유용하다는 것은 목표를 달성했을 때 실제 문제가 해결된다는 뜻이다. 이는 명확함과는 다른 개념이다. "코드베이스를 감사하여 보안 문제를 발견한다"는 잘 정의된 목표일 수 있고, 내 경험상 달성 가능하기도 하다. 하지만 이미 알고 있는 보안 문제를 해결하는 데도 허덕이고 있다면, 잠재적 오탐을 포함하는 더 많은 문제를 대기열에 추가하는 것은 유용하지 않다. 질문은 단순히 "이것을 할 수 있는가?"가 아니라 "이것이 실제로 원하는 것인가?"다.
달성 가능하다는 것은 현재 모델 능력을 감안했을 때 현실적이라는 뜻이다. SWE-bench Verified 같은 벤치마크는 현재 AI가 어떤 코딩을 할 수 있는지 대략적인 감을 준다. 다른 분야에도 비슷한 벤치마크가 있다. 목표를 달성하기 위해 현재 모델이 일관되게 실패하는 무언가를 안정적으로 해야 한다면 그것은 현실적으로 어려울 수 있다. 모델 능력은 꾸준히 발전하고 있으므로, 작업이 급하지 않다면 현재 한계에 맞춰 어떻게든 시스템을 구축하기보다 기다리는 것이 나을 수 있다.
인간 전문가가 목표를 달성하기 위해 무엇을 할지 모호함 없이 설명할 수 있는가? 결과물이 나오면 실제로 사용하겠는가? 그렇지 않다면, 작업을 시작하기 전에 목표를 더 다듬어야 한다.
측정할 수 없는 것은 개선할 수 없다. 평가는 에이전트에 가한 변경 -- 다른 모델, 새 프롬프트, 다른 도구 -- 이 상황을 좋아지게 했는지 나빠지게 했는지 판단하는 수단이다. 평가 없이는 눈을 감고 운전하는 것과 같다.
평가는 객관적인 것이 좋다. 목표가 "기존 테스트를 통과하는 PR을 생성한다"라면, 평가는 테스트를 실행하는 것이다. 테스트는 통과하거나 실패할 것이다. 객관적 평가는 빠르고, 저렴하고, 일관적이다. 목표를 객관적 기준을 중심으로 설계할 수 있다면, 그렇게 하라.
객관적 평가가 어렵다면 주관적 평가도 가능하다. 주관적 평가는 사람이 할 수도 있고 AI가 할 수도 있다 (LLM-as-a-judge). 두 경우 모두 채점 기준(scoring rubric)이 도움이 된다. 채점 기준이란 각 항목별로 어떤 것이 좋은 답변이고 어떤 것이 나쁜 답변인지 명확하게 설명한 기준 목록이다. 채점 기준이 없으면 평가자 간 일치도(inter-rater agreement)가 낮다. 동일한 출력을 두 평가자가 평가하면 의견이 갈리고, 같은 평가자도 시간이 지나면 기준이 흔들린다. 채점 기준은 여러 평가 실행 간에 점수를 비교 가능하게 한다. AI가 평가하는 경우에도 명확한 채점 기준을 받은 모델은 그렇지 않은 모델보다 더 일관된 점수를 준다.
평가가 반드시 갖춰야 할 두 가지 속성이 있다. 목표를 반영해야 하고, 속이기 어려워야 한다.
목표를 반영한다는 것은 평가에서 좋은 점수를 받으면 목표도 실제로 달성된다는 뜻이다. 실제와 동떨어진 평가는 에이전트를 엉뚱한 방향으로 최적화한다. 에이전트의 목표가 고객 지원 티켓 처리라면, 비슷해 보이지만 실제의 복잡함이 없고 단순한 합성 데이터보다 실제 고객 지원 티켓으로 평가하는 것이 바람직하다.
속이기 어렵다는 것은 에이전트가 지표를 조작해 좋은 점수를 받을 수 없어야 한다는 뜻이다. 평가가 "테스트를 통과하는가"를 측정하는데 에이전트가 테스트를 수정할 수 있다면, 지표를 믿을 수 없다. 적대적으로 생각할 필요가 있다. 에이전트가 좋은 점수를 받았다면, 그것이 항상 실제로 더 좋은 것인가? SWE-bench Verified는 교훈적인 사례다. OpenAI는 실패의 절반 이상이 테스트 결함 때문임을 발견했다. 어떤 테스트는 문제 설명에 언급되지 않은 특정 구현 세부사항을 강제했고, 다른 어떤 테스트는 명세되지 않은 기능을 테스트했다. 그 외에도, 테스트된 모든 프론티어 모델이 정답 패치를 암기해서 그대로 재현할 수 있었는데, 이는 훈련 데이터가 오염되었음을 시사한다. 그 결과 OpenAI는 SWE-bench Verified 점수 보고를 중단했다 [3].
작게 시작하라. 개발 초기에는 평가 예시 열 개로도 충분한 경우가 많다. 초기에는 에이전트가 작동하지 않는 상태에서 작동하는 상태로 전환되고 있으므로, 열 개의 예시만으로도 변화를 감지할 수 있다. 에이전트가 성숙해 더 작은 점진적인 개선을 하게 되면 열 개의 예시로는 감지가 어려워진다. 감지하려는 개선이 작아질수록 평가 예시를 늘려야 한다.
에이전트의 로그는 큰 가치가 있다. 실패한 에이전트의 로그를 읽어보는 것만으로도 많은 것을 알 수 있다. 모델은 생성하면서 생각하기 때문에 그 사고 과정이 로그에 남는다. 그러한 로그를 읽으면 모델이 도구 결과를 잘못 읽고, 잘못된 가정을 하고, 이후 여러 턴에 걸쳐 잘못된 가정을 고수하는 모습을 볼 수 있다. 이것은 다른 방법으로는 얻을 수 없는 귀한 정보이며, 그렇기 때문에 로그에는 투자할 가치가 있다.
최소한 모델의 모든 상호작용을 기록해야 한다. 기록해야 하는 항목으로 사용한 모델, 전체 입력 (시스템 프롬프트와 도구 정의 포함), 전체 출력, 소요 시간, 비용이 있다. 비용 추적을 하지 않으면 나중에 재구성하기 어렵다. 지연 시간 데이터는 모델이나 프롬프트 변경을 비교해 속도와 품질 간의 트레이드오프를 분석해야 할 때 꼭 필요하다.
로그는 사람이 직접 살펴보는 것과 자동화된 분석을 지원해야 한다. 사람이 직접 살펴보려면 로그를 보기 쉬운 형태로 읽을 수 있어야 하고 시간, 작업, 결과, 비용 등으로 검색할 수 있어야 한다. 자동화된 분석을 위해서는 모델이 질의할 수 있는 구조화된 형식으로 데이터가 존재해야 한다. 텍스트 파일로만 존재하는 로그는 개별 실패를 디버깅하는 데 유용하지만, 질의 가능한 형식으로 저장된 로그는 통계적인 질문을 할 수 있게 한다. 어떤 작업의 실패율이 가장 높은가? 어떤 프롬프트가 가장 긴 추론을 만드는가? 성공한 실행당 평균 비용은 얼마인가?
AI 에이전트 로그 관리를 위한 도구들이 있다. Langfuse [4]와 Logfire [5] 모두 살펴볼 가치가 있다. 하지만 기존 도구가 해결해 주지 않는 필요가 있다면 직접 도구를 만드는 것도 생각해봐야 한다. 그것은 독립적인 도구일 수도 있고 기존 플랫폼 위에 구축된 것일 수도 있다.
로그를 나중에 추가할 인프라로 생각해서는 안된다. 로그가 없는 고통을 느낄 때가 되면, 가장 큰 도움이 되었을 로그는 이미 잃어버린 뒤다.
에이전트를 개선하기 위해 모델, 프롬프트, 도구를 바꿀 수 있다.
모델은 시스템 성능에서 가장 중요한 요소다. 더 좋은 모델은 평범한 프롬프트를 구제할 수 있지만, 나쁜 모델은 완벽한 프롬프트로도 구제할 수 없다. 새로운 모델은 계속해서 나온다. 핵심은 새 모델을 빠르게 테스트할 수 있어야 한다는 것이다. 모델을 교체하고, 평가를 실행하고, 점수를 비교한다. 평가가 잘 갖춰져 있다면 이 작업은 며칠이 아니라 몇십 분이 걸려야 한다. 모델 평가가 쉬워야 새 모델을 빠르게 적용할 수 있다.
프롬프트는 일상적인 개선이 일어나는 곳이다. 프롬프트를 개선하는 올바른 방법은 모델이 원하는 것을 상상하는 것이 아니라 로그를 읽는 것이다. 실패한 실행의 로그는 보통 모델이 무엇을 오해했는지, 프롬프트의 어떤 부분이 전달되지 않았는지 보여준다. 변경사항은 평가로 검증해야 한다. 어떤 실패를 고치는 프롬프트 변경이 다른 어떤 경우를 조용히 망가뜨릴 수 있다.
도구는 모델과 세상 사이의 인터페이스이며, 사용자 인터페이스처럼 주의 깊게 설계해야 한다. 설계의 목표는 올바른 사용을 쉽게 하고 잘못된 사용을 어렵게 만드는 것이다. 모델이 도구를 자주 잘못 사용한다면 -- 인자를 잘못된 형식으로 전달하거나, 잘못된 맥락에서 호출하거나, 출력을 오해한다면 -- 그것은 모델의 문제가 아니라 도구의 문제다. 사용자가 계속 같은 실수를 하면 사용자가 아니라 UI를 다시 설계하듯이, 모델이 의도하지 않은 행동을 계속하면 모델에 맞춰주는 것이 좋을 수 있다.
세 가지 모두 직관보다는 평가로 변경하는 것이 바람직하다. 무엇이 도움이 될지에 대한 직관은 자주 틀리지만, 평가 점수는 그렇지 않다.
언어 모델은 세상에 대한 방대한 지식을 가지고 있다. 프로그래밍 언어와 과학의 개념과 역사적 사실을 이해한다. 하지만 우리 조직과 코드베이스, 내부 도구, 해당 분야의 관습에 대해서는 잘 모른다. 모델의 잘못이 아니라 알려주지 않았기 때문이다.
실용적인 해결책은 모델에게 필요한 것을 주는 것이다. 정보 소스와 사용법을 제공해야 한다. 에이전트가 내부 데이터베이스를 질의해야 한다면, 그렇게 할 수 있는 CLI를 주고 사용법 문서도 같이 준다. 코드베이스 특유의 관습을 따라야 한다면, 그 관습을 파일에 적어 둔다. 지식 베이스를 참조해야 한다면, 검색 도구를 주고 스키마를 설명한다. 모델의 추론 능력보다 추론할 재료가 문제인 경우가 많다.
Anthropic은 이 패턴을 에이전트 스킬 [6]로 공식화했다. 스킬은 지침이 담긴 SKILL.md 파일과 지원 스크립트 및 리소스로 구성된 폴더다. 시작할 때 에이전트는 설치된 각 스킬의 이름과 설명만 미리 읽어둔다. 작업이 관련 스킬을 트리거하면, 에이전트는 전체 지침과 링크된 파일을 필요에 따라 읽는다. 이 점진적 공개 설계 덕분에 컨텍스트 윈도에는 한계가 있지만 스킬에는 그보다 많은 컨텍스트를 담을 수 있다.
Anthropic의 스킬 형식을 사용하지 않더라도, 아이디어는 일반적으로 적용할 수 있다.. 에이전트에게 필요하지만 일반 지식으로는 유추할 수 없는 컨텍스트가 무엇인지 파악하고, 그 컨텍스트를 발견 가능한 리소스로 패키징하고, 에이전트가 필요에 따라 접근할 수 있는 도구를 주어라.
새 모델과 큰 모델이 능사는 아니다. 프론티어 모델은 비싸고 느리다. 에이전트 시스템 내의 많은 작업은 더 작은 모델로 충분하다. 실용적인 접근법은 각 작업을 안정적으로 할 수 있는 가장 작은 모델을 사용하는 것이다. 여러 모델을 대상으로 평가를 실행해 변곡점을 찾고, 그보다 한 단계 위의 모델을 쓰면 된다.
출력 토큰은 입력 토큰보다 비싸다. 따라서 입력 토큰보다 출력 토큰을 아껴야 한다. 필요한 것만 요청해 출력을 최소화하라. 작업을 위해 무거운 처리 전에 분류나 필터링이 필요하다면, 가벼운 단계를 먼저 하라. 천 개의 항목을 분류해 깊게 분석할 가치 있는 스무 개를 찾는 것은 천 개 모두 전체 분석을 실행하는 것보다 훨씬 저렴하다. 그리고 분류 단계는 분석 단계보다 더 작은 모델을 쓸 수 있는 경우가 많다.
프롬프트 캐싱은 입력 비용을 줄이는 가장 효과적인 수단 중 하나다. OpenAI와 Anthropic 모두 반복되는 프롬프트 접두사를 캐싱하므로, 매 요청 앞에 등장하는 내용 -- 시스템 프롬프트와 도구 정의 -- 은 한 번 캐싱되면 이후 호출에서 훨씬 저렴해진다. 안정적인 내용을 컨텍스트 앞에 두고 호출 사이에 편집하지 마라. 컨텍스트 편집 -- 대화의 앞부분을 재배열하거나, 요약하거나, 다듬는 것 -- 은 캐시를 파괴하므로 신중하게 접근해야 한다.
해야할 일을 배치 작업으로 구조화할 수 있다면 -- 실시간 요건 없이 처리되는 많은 독립적 입력 -- OpenAI와 Anthropic 모두 상당한 할인율로 배치 API를 제공한다. 배치 처리는 대화형 에이전트에는 적합하지 않지만, 평가 실행, 대규모 분류 작업, 지연 시간 제약이 없는 워크로드에서 비용을 크게 줄일 수 있다.
멀티 에이전트 시스템은 단순히 병렬로 실행하는 방법이 아니다. 두 가지 목적이 있다. 적당한 크기로 작업을 분해하는 것, 그리고 희소하고 제한된 자원인 컨텍스트 윈도를 아끼는 것이다.
컨텍스트 윈도 제약을 과소평가하는 경우가 많다. 컨텍스트 윈도 안의 모든 것이 모델의 주의를 두고 경쟁한다. 모든 중간 결과, 모든 도구 응답, 탐색하다 막힌 모든 막다른 길. 하나의 에이전트가 큰 작업을 처리하면 이 모든 것이 한 곳에 쌓인다. 정작 중요한 부분에 다다를 때쯤이면, 이전 단계에서 나온 무관하거나 오히려 방해가 되는 자료들로 컨텍스트가 가득 차 있다. 별도의 에이전트는 각자 자신의 작업에만 관련된 깔끔하고 집중된 컨텍스트를 갖는다.
작업 분해가 또 다른 이유다. 하나의 에이전트가 잘 처리하기에 너무 큰 작업은 보통 상호 의존성이 적은 하위 작업으로 나눌 수 있다. 오케스트레이터의 역할은 그 구조를 파악하는 것이다. 어떤 부분이 독립적으로 진행될 수 있는지, 어떤 것이 순서를 지켜야 하는지, 어떤 결과를 마지막에 종합해야 하는지. 이것은 단순한 프롬프팅 문제가 아니라 설계의 문제이다.
멀티 에이전트 아키텍처가 항상 올바른 선택은 아니다. 작업이 본질적으로 순차적이라면 -- 각 단계에서 이전의 모든 것에 대한 완전한 지식이 필요하다면 -- 에이전트를 분리해도 얻을 것이 거의 없고 문제점만 많아진다. 넓은 작업, 즉 병렬로 진행되다가 마지막에 종합하는 작업이 잘 맞는다. 단계 간 상호 의존성이 강한 촘촘하게 결합된 작업은 그렇지 않다.
멀티 에이전트 시스템은 비싸다. Anthropic에 따르면 멀티 에이전트 연구 시스템은 표준 채팅보다 약 15배 많은 토큰을 사용했다 [7]. 작업이 충분히 복잡하고 출력이 가치 있을 때만 그러한 비용이 정당화될 수 있다. 단일 에이전트로 처리할 수 있는 작업을 멀티 에이전트 시스템으로 하는 것은 낭비일 뿐이다.
서브에이전트는 오케스트레이터가 특정 하위 작업을 처리하기 위해 생성하는 에이전트이다. 별도의 컨텍스트 윈도와 도구, 실행 루프를 갖는다. 오케스트레이터는 작업을 위임하고, 결과를 기다리고, 그 결과를 자신의 컨텍스트에 통합한다.
서브에이전트에는 명확한 종료 조건이 필요하다. 완료되었음을 알리고 오케스트레이터가 사용할 수 있는 결과를 내놓는 무언가가 있어야 한다. 가장 깔끔한 메커니즘은 전용 출력 도구다. 모델이 출력 도구를 호출하면 실행이 끝나고 결과가 반환된다. 이것은 서브에이전트의 마지막 응답을 출력으로 사용하는 것보다 낫다. 명시적이고, 구조화되어 있고, 파싱하기 쉽기 때문이다.
Armin Ronacher는 모델이 출력 도구를 호출하지 못하는 경우가 있다고 지적한다 [8]. 이것은 실제 문제지만 해결할 수 없는 문제는 아니다. OpenAI와 Anthropic API 모두 특정 도구를 강제로 호출하게 할 수 있는 tool_choice 파라미터를 지원한다. 서브에이전트 실행이 끝날 때 작업을 마친 후 tool_choice를 출력 도구로 설정해 마지막 API 호출을 할 수 있다. 이렇게 하면 모델이 스스로 출력 도구를 호출하지 않으려 하더라도 구조화된 출력을 내도록 강제할 수 있다.
더 까다로운 문제는 실패다. 서브에이전트는 실패할 수 있으며, 가장 큰 피해를 주는 실패 방식은 명확한 오류가 아니라 진전 없이 길게 이어지는 실행이다. 문제가 되는 것은 오류의 증폭이다. 모델이 도구 결과를 잘못 읽고, 잘못된 방향으로 나아가고, 이후의 각 단계가 그 잘못된 기반 위에 쌓인다. 이런 실행은 턴 수 측면에서 가장 긴 경향이 있다. 성공할 서브에이전트는 대개 예측 가능한 턴 수 안에 성공한다. 그 지점을 넘어서도 계속 가는 것은 대개 막힌 것이다.
실용적인 해결책은 턴수 제한이다. 턴수 제한은 에이전트를 여러 작업에 실행해보고 성공적인 실행이 어디서 끝나는지 관찰해서 경험적으로 결정한다. 제한에 도달하면, 실행을 계속하게 두는 대신 포기하고 다시 시도한다. 깔끔한 컨텍스트로 새로 시작하면 길게 늘어진 실행이 실패할 곳에서 성공하는 경우가 많다. 이것은 에이전트가 점진적으로 진전을 이루고 있다고 생각한다면 직관에 반하지만, 오류 증폭은 막힌 에이전트가 나아지는 것이 아니라 종종 나빠지고 있음을 의미한다.
턴수 제한은 개발 중에 유용하기도 하다. 에이전트가 일상적으로 제한에 도달한다면, 그것은 작업 분해가 손질이 필요하다는 신호이거나, 도구가 모델에게 필요한 것을 주지 않고 있거나, 프롬프트가 언제 작업이 완료되었는지 충분히 명확하지 않다는 신호이다.
에이전트가 도구로 복잡한 작업을 해야 할 때 -- 여러 도구를 순서대로 호출하거나, 큰 결과를 필터링하거나, 항목 목록을 반복 처리하는 것 -- 단순한 접근법은 모델이 도구를 하나씩 호출하고, 호출 사이마다 모델을 거치는 것이다. 이것은 작동하지만 비싸고 느리다. 더 나은 방법이 있다. 모델에게 그 모든 것을 하는 코드를 생성하게 한 다음 코드를 실행하는 것이다.
이것이 가능한 이유는 언어 모델이 코드 생성에 유독 뛰어나기 때문이다. 언어 모델은 훈련에서 도구 호출보다 훨씬 많은 실제 코드를 보았다. 도구를 프로그래밍 언어의 호출 가능한 함수로 제시하면, 모델은 프로그래머가 그러듯이 반복문, 조건문, 오류 처리에 대해 추론할 수 있다. Cloudflare는 Code Mode [9]에서 명시적으로 그렇게 주장한다. 도구 호출은 모델이 드물게 접하는 패턴에 의존하지만, 코드 생성은 모델이 깊이 내면화한 패턴에 의존한다.
코드 생성의 토큰 절약 효과는 크다. 전통적인 도구 호출 루프에서는 모든 중간 결과가 모델의 컨텍스트 윈도를 거친다. 2시간짜리 회의 녹취를 가져와 CRM에 첨부하면, 전체 녹취가 컨텍스트에 두 번 들어간다. 20명 직원의 예산 데이터를 하나씩 조회하면, 요약하기 전에 20개의 응답이 모두 컨텍스트에 적재된다. 코드 생성을 사용하면 중간 결과가 실행 환경에 머물고, 최종 출력 -- 필터링된 요약, 합계 -- 만 모델에게 돌아간다. Anthropic은 대표적인 사례에서 토큰 사용량을 15만에서 2천으로 줄였다고 보고한다 [10].
실용적인 구현에는 세 가지가 필요하다.
코드 실행 환경. 생성된 코드가 어딘가에서 실행되어야 한다. 샌드박스가 필요하다. 네트워크 접근을 제한하고, 의도한 것 이외의 파일시스템 접근을 금지해야 한다. Cloudflare는 V8 isolate를 사용하고, Anthropic은 Python 컨테이너를 사용한다. 직접 구축한다면 인프라가 간단하지는 않지만, 샌드박스는 일반적으로 사용할 수 있다.
함수로 노출된 도구. 모델은 어떤 함수가 사용 가능하고 무엇을 반환하는지 알아야 한다. 출력 형식에 대한 설명이 중요하다. 도구가 JSON을 반환한다면 스키마를 설명하라. 모델이 코드를 작성하려면 기대해야 하는 결과를 알아야 한다.
도구별 옵트인. 모든 도구가 생성된 코드에서 호출 가능해야 하는 것은 아니다. Anthropic의 API는 각 도구 정의의 allowed_callers 필드로 이를 구현한다 [11]. 모델이 직접 호출하는 도구와 코드에서 호출하는 도구를 구분한다. 이 구분은 보안상 중요하다. 부작용이 있거나 민감한 출력을 가진 도구는 두 맥락에서 다른 처리가 필요할 수 있다.
도구 사용 외에도 같은 원칙이 적용된다. 에이전트가 데이터를 처리해야 할 때 -- 파일을 변환하거나, 질의 결과를 집계하거나, 목록을 필터링하는 -- 코드를 작성하게 하고 그 코드를 실행하는 것이 자연어로 데이터에 대해 추론하게 하는 것보다 나은 경우가 많다. 모델의 코드 생성 능력은 코딩 에이전트만을 위한 기능이 아니라 기본적인 도구이다.
이 패턴을 채택하고 싶다면, MCPorter [12]가 도움이 될 수 있다. MCPorter는 MCP 서버의 도구 정의에서 TypeScript 래퍼를 생성하는 오픈 소스 TypeScript 라이브러리이다.
한 가지 주의사항이 있다. 이 패턴은 실행 환경이 진정으로 격리되어 있어야 한다. 생성된 코드는 신뢰할 수 없는 입력이다. 에이전트가 악의적인 코드를 생성하게 하는 프롬프트로 공격당할 수 있다. 샌드박싱은 선택사항이 아니다.
에이전트가 기계가 읽을 수 있는 출력을 내놓아야 할 때는 -- 분류, 결정, 필드 추출 -- 구조화된 출력이 올바른 도구다. 텍스트를 파싱하는 대신, 스키마를 정의하고 모델이 채운다. 더 신뢰할 수 있고, 테스트하기 더 쉽고, 파싱 버그를 통째로 제거한다.
언어 모델은 토큰을 왼쪽에서 오른쪽으로 순서대로 생성한다. 스키마를 {"answer": "..."} 로 정의하면, 모델은 바로 답을 정한다. {"reasoning": "...", "answer": "..."} 로 정의하면, 모델은 먼저 추론하도록 강제되고 그 추론이 답에 영향을 미친다. 추론 필드가 스키마에서 답 필드보다 앞에 오므로, 출력에서도 답 앞에 온다.
나중에 추론을 완전히 버리고 답만 사용해도 된다. 성능상의 이점은 추론을 읽는 것이 아니라 모델이 추론을 생성했다는 데서 온다. 이 방법은 특별한 모델 지원 없이 추론 모델과 같은 효과를 얻을 수 있게 해 준다.
에이전트가 파일을 수정해야 한다면 파일 편집을 어떻게 구현하느냐가 시스템 성능에 중요한 영향을 미친다.
이것은 내 경험만이 아니다. Anthropic은 파일 편집 신뢰성을 명시적으로 어려운 문제 중 하나로 꼽았다 [13]. Anthropic이 API로 제공하는 텍스트 편집기 도구 [14]를 보면, str_replace 명령은 정확한 문자열 일치를 필요로 하며, 하니스는 문자열이 일치하지 않거나 여러 번 일치할 때 오류를 반환해야 한다. 문제가 충분히 어렵기 때문에 Anthropic은 도구 설계에 우회책을 내장했다 (예를 들어 파일의 절대 경로를 요구하는 것은 명시적인 오류 방지 조치다).
어려운 점은 모델이 원하는 변경에 대해 추론할 뿐 아니라, 모호함이나 오류 없이 파일에 기계적으로 적용할 수 있는 형식으로 출력을 내놓아야 한다는 것이다. 이것은 서로 다른 일이며, 어떤 형식을 선택하느냐에 따라 기계적인 적용 단계가 얼마나 자주 실패하는지가 달라진다.
현재 사용되는 주요 접근법은 다음과 같다.
전체 파일 재작성. 모델이 파일의 내용을 완전히 새로 출력한다. 구현하고 파싱하기 단순하며, 형식 오류로 실패하지 않는다. 단점은 비용(출력 토큰이 파일 크기에 비례해 증가함)과 주변 컨텍스트 손실이다. 작은 파일에서만 실용적이다.
문자열 교체. 모델이 이전 문자열과 새 문자열을 출력하면, 하니스가 찾아서 교체한다. Anthropic이 사용하는 방식이다 [14]. 실패 방식은 잘 알려져 있다. 모델은 공백과 들여쓰기를 포함해 이전 문자열을 글자 하나 하나 그대로 재현해야 하는데, 이것을 자주 틀린다. "교체할 문자열을 찾지 못했다"는 오류는 에이전트 실패의 흔한 원인이다.
patch/diff 형식. 모델이 변경사항을 설명하는 구조화된 diff를 출력한다. OpenAI의 Codex는 *** Begin Patch 와 *** End Patch 마커가 있는 커스텀 패치 형식을 사용한다. 그 자체로는 쉽게 망가지지만 Codex는 제약된 샘플링(constrained sampling)으로 이를 해결한다. 패치 형식을 Lark 문맥 자유 문법(context free grammar)으로 표현하고, 추론 시 모델 출력을 문법에 맞게 제한한다 [15]. 이것은 형식 오류를 통째로 제거한다. 이것이 OpenAI의 공개 API를 사용해 이루어진다는 점이 중요하다 [16]. 이 기법은 누구나 사용할 수 있다.
훈련된 병합 모델. Cursor는 모델의 편집 의도를 원본 파일과 병합하는 별도의 70B 모델을 훈련했다. 병합 견고성을 학습된 능력으로 만들어 형식 문제를 완전히 우회한다. 명백한 비용은 전용 모델을 훈련하고 서빙하는 데 상당한 자원이 필요하다는 것이다.
Can Bölük은 16개 모델을 180개 과제에서 벤치마킹하여 형식 선택만으로도 성공률이 달라질 수 있음을 보였다 [17]. 그의 글은 이 장과 함께 읽을 가치가 있다. 그가 제안한 형식은 각 줄에 줄 번호와 짧은 해시를 태그한다. 주요 이점은 모델이 정확한 내용을 재현하지 않고 식별자로 줄을 참조할 수 있다는 것인데, 이것이 모델에게는 훨씬 쉽다. 해시는 줄 번호에 더해서 체크섬 역할을 한다. 이전 편집으로 줄이 밀렸다면, 예상 해시와 실제 줄 내용 사이의 불일치가 잘못된 줄을 조용히 편집하는 대신 오류를 잡아낸다.
에이전트에게 도구를 준다는 것은 세상에서 실제 행동을 취할 수 있는 능력을 주는 것이다 -- 파일 읽기, 파일 쓰기, 명령 실행, 외부 서비스 호출. 도구 인가 제어는 에이전트가 자율적으로 취할 수 있는 행동과 사람의 승인이 필요한 행동을 결정하는 방법이다. 이것을 제대로 하는 것은 안전과 사용성 모두에 중요하다. 너무 제한적이면 에이전트가 일을 할 수 없고, 너무 허용적이면 모르는 사이에 피해를 줄 수 있는 자율 시스템이 된다.
먼저 이해해야 할 것은 인가와 샌드박싱이 상호 보완적이며 서로 대체할 수 없다는 것이다. 인가는 에이전트가 무엇을 하기로 결정하는지를 제어하며 에이전트 수준에서 작동한다. 샌드박싱은 에이전트가 무엇을 결정하든 관계없이 OS 수준에서 제한을 강제한다. Claude Code의 문서 [18]는 이 구분을 명확히 한다. 인가는 에이전트가 제한된 행동을 시도하는 것을 막고, 샌드박싱은 에이전트가 제한된 행동을 시도하더라도 그러한 행동이 실제로 실행되는 것을 막는다. 둘 다 사용해야 한다.
덜 명백한 점은 Bash 인가 규칙이 보이는 것보다 강한 점도 있고 약한 점도 있다는 것이다.
보이는 것보다 강한 이유는 셸 명령이 문자열로만 매칭되지 않고 파싱되기 때문이다. Claude Code는 오픈 소스가 아니지만, Bun을 사용한다고 알려져 있는데, Bun에는 셸 파서가 포함되어 있다. Codex(오픈 소스)는 Tree-sitter의 Bash 파서로 같은 작업을 한다 [19]. 스크립트가 완전한 AST로 파싱되고, 단순한 명령 이외의 것이 포함되면 파싱이 거부된다. 허용된 연산자 (&&, ||, ;, |)는 각 개별 명령을 추출하고 각각을 인가 규칙과 별도로 확인하는 방식으로 처리된다. 즉 Bash(safe-cmd *)는 safe-cmd && malicious-cmd를 허용하지 않는다. 파서가 두 개의 명령을 보고 둘 다 확인한다.
보이는 것보다 약한 이유는 명령 이름 수준에서 안전성을 알 수 없기 때문이다. 고전적인 예시가 있다. rm을 거부하고 find를 허용해도 파일 삭제가 막히지 않는다. find에는 -delete 옵션이 있기 때문이다. 많은 유닉스 명령이 이처럼 다목적이다. 특정 명령이 안전하다는 가정 하에 작성된 단순한 허용 목록은 이러한 구멍이 생기는 경향이 있으며, 에이전트나 프롬프트 인젝션을 통해 에이전트를 제어하는 공격자는 그러한 구멍을 찾아낼 수 있다.
코딩 에이전트를 위한 실용적인 인가 모델은 이런 모습일 수 있다. 읽기 작업은 승인이 필요 없다. 파일 편집은 세션당 한 번 승인이 필요하다. 셸 명령은 명령당 승인이 필요하되, 테스트 실행이나 프로젝트 빌드 같은 일반적이고 안전한 작업은 미리 승인된 허용 목록에 넣는다.
파일이나 웹를 읽는 에이전트는 그 내용으로부터 공격자의 지시를 받을 수 있다. 엄격한 인가 규칙이 주요 방어책이다. 데이터를 유출하라는 지시는 에이전트가 외부 URL에 도달할 수 없다면 성공할 수 없다.

이 글은 AI 에이전트 시스템을 만들며 쌓은 경험을 정리한 것으로, 2026년 2월에 썼다. 두 부분으로 구성된다. 첫 번째 부분은 총론이고, 두 번째 부분은 각론이다.
이 분야는 빠르게 변하고 있어, 여기에 쓴 교훈도 금방 낡을 수 있다. 컨텍스트 윈도는 이 글 전반에 걸쳐 반복되는 제약이지만, 미래에는 그렇지 않을 수도 있다. "차근차근 생각하라(Let's think step by step)"는 2022년 발표된 이래 널리 권장되었지만 [1], 최근 연구에 따르면 이 기법은 이제 덜 중요해졌다 [2]. 이 글의 내용도 일부는 그런 운명을 맞을 것이다.
AI 에이전트 시스템을 위한 목표는 명확하고, 유용하고, 달성 가능해야 한다.
명확하다는 것은 테스트할 수 있을 만큼 구체적이라는 뜻이다. "개발자의 코딩 작업을 돕는다"는 목표가 아니라 범주다. 목표는 "GitHub 이슈 설명과 Python 저장소가 주어지면, 기존 테스트를 통과하는 PR을 생성한다" 같은 것이다. 후자에서는 어떤 입력을 준비해야 하는지, 어떤 출력을 평가해야 하는지, 평가 기준이 무엇인지가 드러난다. 목표의 범위를 좁혀야 한다. 범용 시스템은 평가하기 어렵고, 개선하기 어렵고, 제대로 작동하는지 알기도 어렵다. 좁은 범위에서 시스템이 잘 작동하면 범위를 넓히는 것을 고려할 수 있다.
유용하다는 것은 목표를 달성했을 때 실제 문제가 해결된다는 뜻이다. 이는 명확함과는 다른 개념이다. "코드베이스를 감사하여 보안 문제를 발견한다"는 잘 정의된 목표일 수 있고, 내 경험상 달성 가능하기도 하다. 하지만 이미 알고 있는 보안 문제를 해결하는 데도 허덕이고 있다면, 잠재적 오탐을 포함하는 더 많은 문제를 대기열에 추가하는 것은 유용하지 않다. 질문은 단순히 "이것을 할 수 있는가?"가 아니라 "이것이 실제로 원하는 것인가?"다.
달성 가능하다는 것은 현재 모델 능력을 감안했을 때 현실적이라는 뜻이다. SWE-bench Verified 같은 벤치마크는 현재 AI가 어떤 코딩을 할 수 있는지 대략적인 감을 준다. 다른 분야에도 비슷한 벤치마크가 있다. 목표를 달성하기 위해 현재 모델이 일관되게 실패하는 무언가를 안정적으로 해야 한다면 그것은 현실적으로 어려울 수 있다. 모델 능력은 꾸준히 발전하고 있으므로, 작업이 급하지 않다면 현재 한계에 맞춰 어떻게든 시스템을 구축하기보다 기다리는 것이 나을 수 있다.
인간 전문가가 목표를 달성하기 위해 무엇을 할지 모호함 없이 설명할 수 있는가? 결과물이 나오면 실제로 사용하겠는가? 그렇지 않다면, 작업을 시작하기 전에 목표를 더 다듬어야 한다.
측정할 수 없는 것은 개선할 수 없다. 평가는 에이전트에 가한 변경 -- 다른 모델, 새 프롬프트, 다른 도구 -- 이 상황을 좋아지게 했는지 나빠지게 했는지 판단하는 수단이다. 평가 없이는 눈을 감고 운전하는 것과 같다.
평가는 객관적인 것이 좋다. 목표가 "기존 테스트를 통과하는 PR을 생성한다"라면, 평가는 테스트를 실행하는 것이다. 테스트는 통과하거나 실패할 것이다. 객관적 평가는 빠르고, 저렴하고, 일관적이다. 목표를 객관적 기준을 중심으로 설계할 수 있다면, 그렇게 하라.
객관적 평가가 어렵다면 주관적 평가도 가능하다. 주관적 평가는 사람이 할 수도 있고 AI가 할 수도 있다 (LLM-as-a-judge). 두 경우 모두 채점 기준(scoring rubric)이 도움이 된다. 채점 기준이란 각 항목별로 어떤 것이 좋은 답변이고 어떤 것이 나쁜 답변인지 명확하게 설명한 기준 목록이다. 채점 기준이 없으면 평가자 간 일치도(inter-rater agreement)가 낮다. 동일한 출력을 두 평가자가 평가하면 의견이 갈리고, 같은 평가자도 시간이 지나면 기준이 흔들린다. 채점 기준은 여러 평가 실행 간에 점수를 비교 가능하게 한다. AI가 평가하는 경우에도 명확한 채점 기준을 받은 모델은 그렇지 않은 모델보다 더 일관된 점수를 준다.
평가가 반드시 갖춰야 할 두 가지 속성이 있다. 목표를 반영해야 하고, 속이기 어려워야 한다.
목표를 반영한다는 것은 평가에서 좋은 점수를 받으면 목표도 실제로 달성된다는 뜻이다. 실제와 동떨어진 평가는 에이전트를 엉뚱한 방향으로 최적화한다. 에이전트의 목표가 고객 지원 티켓 처리라면, 비슷해 보이지만 실제의 복잡함이 없고 단순한 합성 데이터보다 실제 고객 지원 티켓으로 평가하는 것이 바람직하다.
속이기 어렵다는 것은 에이전트가 지표를 조작해 좋은 점수를 받을 수 없어야 한다는 뜻이다. 평가가 "테스트를 통과하는가"를 측정하는데 에이전트가 테스트를 수정할 수 있다면, 지표를 믿을 수 없다. 적대적으로 생각할 필요가 있다. 에이전트가 좋은 점수를 받았다면, 그것이 항상 실제로 더 좋은 것인가? SWE-bench Verified는 교훈적인 사례다. OpenAI는 실패의 절반 이상이 테스트 결함 때문임을 발견했다. 어떤 테스트는 문제 설명에 언급되지 않은 특정 구현 세부사항을 강제했고, 다른 어떤 테스트는 명세되지 않은 기능을 테스트했다. 그 외에도, 테스트된 모든 프론티어 모델이 정답 패치를 암기해서 그대로 재현할 수 있었는데, 이는 훈련 데이터가 오염되었음을 시사한다. 그 결과 OpenAI는 SWE-bench Verified 점수 보고를 중단했다 [3].
작게 시작하라. 개발 초기에는 평가 예시 열 개로도 충분한 경우가 많다. 초기에는 에이전트가 작동하지 않는 상태에서 작동하는 상태로 전환되고 있으므로, 열 개의 예시만으로도 변화를 감지할 수 있다. 에이전트가 성숙해 더 작은 점진적인 개선을 하게 되면 열 개의 예시로는 감지가 어려워진다. 감지하려는 개선이 작아질수록 평가 예시를 늘려야 한다.
에이전트의 로그는 큰 가치가 있다. 실패한 에이전트의 로그를 읽어보는 것만으로도 많은 것을 알 수 있다. 모델은 생성하면서 생각하기 때문에 그 사고 과정이 로그에 남는다. 그러한 로그를 읽으면 모델이 도구 결과를 잘못 읽고, 잘못된 가정을 하고, 이후 여러 턴에 걸쳐 잘못된 가정을 고수하는 모습을 볼 수 있다. 이것은 다른 방법으로는 얻을 수 없는 귀한 정보이며, 그렇기 때문에 로그에는 투자할 가치가 있다.
최소한 모델의 모든 상호작용을 기록해야 한다. 기록해야 하는 항목으로 사용한 모델, 전체 입력 (시스템 프롬프트와 도구 정의 포함), 전체 출력, 소요 시간, 비용이 있다. 비용 추적을 하지 않으면 나중에 재구성하기 어렵다. 지연 시간 데이터는 모델이나 프롬프트 변경을 비교해 속도와 품질 간의 트레이드오프를 분석해야 할 때 꼭 필요하다.
로그는 사람이 직접 살펴보는 것과 자동화된 분석을 지원해야 한다. 사람이 직접 살펴보려면 로그를 보기 쉬운 형태로 읽을 수 있어야 하고 시간, 작업, 결과, 비용 등으로 검색할 수 있어야 한다. 자동화된 분석을 위해서는 모델이 질의할 수 있는 구조화된 형식으로 데이터가 존재해야 한다. 텍스트 파일로만 존재하는 로그는 개별 실패를 디버깅하는 데 유용하지만, 질의 가능한 형식으로 저장된 로그는 통계적인 질문을 할 수 있게 한다. 어떤 작업의 실패율이 가장 높은가? 어떤 프롬프트가 가장 긴 추론을 만드는가? 성공한 실행당 평균 비용은 얼마인가?
AI 에이전트 로그 관리를 위한 도구들이 있다. Langfuse [4]와 Logfire [5] 모두 살펴볼 가치가 있다. 하지만 기존 도구가 해결해 주지 않는 필요가 있다면 직접 도구를 만드는 것도 생각해봐야 한다. 그것은 독립적인 도구일 수도 있고 기존 플랫폼 위에 구축된 것일 수도 있다.
로그를 나중에 추가할 인프라로 생각해서는 안된다. 로그가 없는 고통을 느낄 때가 되면, 가장 큰 도움이 되었을 로그는 이미 잃어버린 뒤다.
에이전트를 개선하기 위해 모델, 프롬프트, 도구를 바꿀 수 있다.
모델은 시스템 성능에서 가장 중요한 요소다. 더 좋은 모델은 평범한 프롬프트를 구제할 수 있지만, 나쁜 모델은 완벽한 프롬프트로도 구제할 수 없다. 새로운 모델은 계속해서 나온다. 핵심은 새 모델을 빠르게 테스트할 수 있어야 한다는 것이다. 모델을 교체하고, 평가를 실행하고, 점수를 비교한다. 평가가 잘 갖춰져 있다면 이 작업은 며칠이 아니라 몇십 분이 걸려야 한다. 모델 평가가 쉬워야 새 모델을 빠르게 적용할 수 있다.
프롬프트는 일상적인 개선이 일어나는 곳이다. 프롬프트를 개선하는 올바른 방법은 모델이 원하는 것을 상상하는 것이 아니라 로그를 읽는 것이다. 실패한 실행의 로그는 보통 모델이 무엇을 오해했는지, 프롬프트의 어떤 부분이 전달되지 않았는지 보여준다. 변경사항은 평가로 검증해야 한다. 어떤 실패를 고치는 프롬프트 변경이 다른 어떤 경우를 조용히 망가뜨릴 수 있다.
도구는 모델과 세상 사이의 인터페이스이며, 사용자 인터페이스처럼 주의 깊게 설계해야 한다. 설계의 목표는 올바른 사용을 쉽게 하고 잘못된 사용을 어렵게 만드는 것이다. 모델이 도구를 자주 잘못 사용한다면 -- 인자를 잘못된 형식으로 전달하거나, 잘못된 맥락에서 호출하거나, 출력을 오해한다면 -- 그것은 모델의 문제가 아니라 도구의 문제다. 사용자가 계속 같은 실수를 하면 사용자가 아니라 UI를 다시 설계하듯이, 모델이 의도하지 않은 행동을 계속하면 모델에 맞춰주는 것이 좋을 수 있다.
세 가지 모두 직관보다는 평가로 변경하는 것이 바람직하다. 무엇이 도움이 될지에 대한 직관은 자주 틀리지만, 평가 점수는 그렇지 않다.
언어 모델은 세상에 대한 방대한 지식을 가지고 있다. 프로그래밍 언어와 과학의 개념과 역사적 사실을 이해한다. 하지만 우리 조직과 코드베이스, 내부 도구, 해당 분야의 관습에 대해서는 잘 모른다. 모델의 잘못이 아니라 알려주지 않았기 때문이다.
실용적인 해결책은 모델에게 필요한 것을 주는 것이다. 정보 소스와 사용법을 제공해야 한다. 에이전트가 내부 데이터베이스를 질의해야 한다면, 그렇게 할 수 있는 CLI를 주고 사용법 문서도 같이 준다. 코드베이스 특유의 관습을 따라야 한다면, 그 관습을 파일에 적어 둔다. 지식 베이스를 참조해야 한다면, 검색 도구를 주고 스키마를 설명한다. 모델의 추론 능력보다 추론할 재료가 문제인 경우가 많다.
Anthropic은 이 패턴을 에이전트 스킬 [6]로 공식화했다. 스킬은 지침이 담긴 SKILL.md 파일과 지원 스크립트 및 리소스로 구성된 폴더다. 시작할 때 에이전트는 설치된 각 스킬의 이름과 설명만 미리 읽어둔다. 작업이 관련 스킬을 트리거하면, 에이전트는 전체 지침과 링크된 파일을 필요에 따라 읽는다. 이 점진적 공개 설계 덕분에 컨텍스트 윈도에는 한계가 있지만 스킬에는 그보다 많은 컨텍스트를 담을 수 있다.
Anthropic의 스킬 형식을 사용하지 않더라도, 아이디어는 일반적으로 적용할 수 있다.. 에이전트에게 필요하지만 일반 지식으로는 유추할 수 없는 컨텍스트가 무엇인지 파악하고, 그 컨텍스트를 발견 가능한 리소스로 패키징하고, 에이전트가 필요에 따라 접근할 수 있는 도구를 주어라.
새 모델과 큰 모델이 능사는 아니다. 프론티어 모델은 비싸고 느리다. 에이전트 시스템 내의 많은 작업은 더 작은 모델로 충분하다. 실용적인 접근법은 각 작업을 안정적으로 할 수 있는 가장 작은 모델을 사용하는 것이다. 여러 모델을 대상으로 평가를 실행해 변곡점을 찾고, 그보다 한 단계 위의 모델을 쓰면 된다.
출력 토큰은 입력 토큰보다 비싸다. 따라서 입력 토큰보다 출력 토큰을 아껴야 한다. 필요한 것만 요청해 출력을 최소화하라. 작업을 위해 무거운 처리 전에 분류나 필터링이 필요하다면, 가벼운 단계를 먼저 하라. 천 개의 항목을 분류해 깊게 분석할 가치 있는 스무 개를 찾는 것은 천 개 모두 전체 분석을 실행하는 것보다 훨씬 저렴하다. 그리고 분류 단계는 분석 단계보다 더 작은 모델을 쓸 수 있는 경우가 많다.
프롬프트 캐싱은 입력 비용을 줄이는 가장 효과적인 수단 중 하나다. OpenAI와 Anthropic 모두 반복되는 프롬프트 접두사를 캐싱하므로, 매 요청 앞에 등장하는 내용 -- 시스템 프롬프트와 도구 정의 -- 은 한 번 캐싱되면 이후 호출에서 훨씬 저렴해진다. 안정적인 내용을 컨텍스트 앞에 두고 호출 사이에 편집하지 마라. 컨텍스트 편집 -- 대화의 앞부분을 재배열하거나, 요약하거나, 다듬는 것 -- 은 캐시를 파괴하므로 신중하게 접근해야 한다.
해야할 일을 배치 작업으로 구조화할 수 있다면 -- 실시간 요건 없이 처리되는 많은 독립적 입력 -- OpenAI와 Anthropic 모두 상당한 할인율로 배치 API를 제공한다. 배치 처리는 대화형 에이전트에는 적합하지 않지만, 평가 실행, 대규모 분류 작업, 지연 시간 제약이 없는 워크로드에서 비용을 크게 줄일 수 있다.
멀티 에이전트 시스템은 단순히 병렬로 실행하는 방법이 아니다. 두 가지 목적이 있다. 적당한 크기로 작업을 분해하는 것, 그리고 희소하고 제한된 자원인 컨텍스트 윈도를 아끼는 것이다.
컨텍스트 윈도 제약을 과소평가하는 경우가 많다. 컨텍스트 윈도 안의 모든 것이 모델의 주의를 두고 경쟁한다. 모든 중간 결과, 모든 도구 응답, 탐색하다 막힌 모든 막다른 길. 하나의 에이전트가 큰 작업을 처리하면 이 모든 것이 한 곳에 쌓인다. 정작 중요한 부분에 다다를 때쯤이면, 이전 단계에서 나온 무관하거나 오히려 방해가 되는 자료들로 컨텍스트가 가득 차 있다. 별도의 에이전트는 각자 자신의 작업에만 관련된 깔끔하고 집중된 컨텍스트를 갖는다.
작업 분해가 또 다른 이유다. 하나의 에이전트가 잘 처리하기에 너무 큰 작업은 보통 상호 의존성이 적은 하위 작업으로 나눌 수 있다. 오케스트레이터의 역할은 그 구조를 파악하는 것이다. 어떤 부분이 독립적으로 진행될 수 있는지, 어떤 것이 순서를 지켜야 하는지, 어떤 결과를 마지막에 종합해야 하는지. 이것은 단순한 프롬프팅 문제가 아니라 설계의 문제이다.
멀티 에이전트 아키텍처가 항상 올바른 선택은 아니다. 작업이 본질적으로 순차적이라면 -- 각 단계에서 이전의 모든 것에 대한 완전한 지식이 필요하다면 -- 에이전트를 분리해도 얻을 것이 거의 없고 문제점만 많아진다. 넓은 작업, 즉 병렬로 진행되다가 마지막에 종합하는 작업이 잘 맞는다. 단계 간 상호 의존성이 강한 촘촘하게 결합된 작업은 그렇지 않다.
멀티 에이전트 시스템은 비싸다. Anthropic에 따르면 멀티 에이전트 연구 시스템은 표준 채팅보다 약 15배 많은 토큰을 사용했다 [7]. 작업이 충분히 복잡하고 출력이 가치 있을 때만 그러한 비용이 정당화될 수 있다. 단일 에이전트로 처리할 수 있는 작업을 멀티 에이전트 시스템으로 하는 것은 낭비일 뿐이다.
서브에이전트는 오케스트레이터가 특정 하위 작업을 처리하기 위해 생성하는 에이전트이다. 별도의 컨텍스트 윈도와 도구, 실행 루프를 갖는다. 오케스트레이터는 작업을 위임하고, 결과를 기다리고, 그 결과를 자신의 컨텍스트에 통합한다.
서브에이전트에는 명확한 종료 조건이 필요하다. 완료되었음을 알리고 오케스트레이터가 사용할 수 있는 결과를 내놓는 무언가가 있어야 한다. 가장 깔끔한 메커니즘은 전용 출력 도구다. 모델이 출력 도구를 호출하면 실행이 끝나고 결과가 반환된다. 이것은 서브에이전트의 마지막 응답을 출력으로 사용하는 것보다 낫다. 명시적이고, 구조화되어 있고, 파싱하기 쉽기 때문이다.
Armin Ronacher는 모델이 출력 도구를 호출하지 못하는 경우가 있다고 지적한다 [8]. 이것은 실제 문제지만 해결할 수 없는 문제는 아니다. OpenAI와 Anthropic API 모두 특정 도구를 강제로 호출하게 할 수 있는 tool_choice 파라미터를 지원한다. 서브에이전트 실행이 끝날 때 작업을 마친 후 tool_choice를 출력 도구로 설정해 마지막 API 호출을 할 수 있다. 이렇게 하면 모델이 스스로 출력 도구를 호출하지 않으려 하더라도 구조화된 출력을 내도록 강제할 수 있다.
더 까다로운 문제는 실패다. 서브에이전트는 실패할 수 있으며, 가장 큰 피해를 주는 실패 방식은 명확한 오류가 아니라 진전 없이 길게 이어지는 실행이다. 문제가 되는 것은 오류의 증폭이다. 모델이 도구 결과를 잘못 읽고, 잘못된 방향으로 나아가고, 이후의 각 단계가 그 잘못된 기반 위에 쌓인다. 이런 실행은 턴 수 측면에서 가장 긴 경향이 있다. 성공할 서브에이전트는 대개 예측 가능한 턴 수 안에 성공한다. 그 지점을 넘어서도 계속 가는 것은 대개 막힌 것이다.
실용적인 해결책은 턴수 제한이다. 턴수 제한은 에이전트를 여러 작업에 실행해보고 성공적인 실행이 어디서 끝나는지 관찰해서 경험적으로 결정한다. 제한에 도달하면, 실행을 계속하게 두는 대신 포기하고 다시 시도한다. 깔끔한 컨텍스트로 새로 시작하면 길게 늘어진 실행이 실패할 곳에서 성공하는 경우가 많다. 이것은 에이전트가 점진적으로 진전을 이루고 있다고 생각한다면 직관에 반하지만, 오류 증폭은 막힌 에이전트가 나아지는 것이 아니라 종종 나빠지고 있음을 의미한다.
턴수 제한은 개발 중에 유용하기도 하다. 에이전트가 일상적으로 제한에 도달한다면, 그것은 작업 분해가 손질이 필요하다는 신호이거나, 도구가 모델에게 필요한 것을 주지 않고 있거나, 프롬프트가 언제 작업이 완료되었는지 충분히 명확하지 않다는 신호이다.
에이전트가 도구로 복잡한 작업을 해야 할 때 -- 여러 도구를 순서대로 호출하거나, 큰 결과를 필터링하거나, 항목 목록을 반복 처리하는 것 -- 단순한 접근법은 모델이 도구를 하나씩 호출하고, 호출 사이마다 모델을 거치는 것이다. 이것은 작동하지만 비싸고 느리다. 더 나은 방법이 있다. 모델에게 그 모든 것을 하는 코드를 생성하게 한 다음 코드를 실행하는 것이다.
이것이 가능한 이유는 언어 모델이 코드 생성에 유독 뛰어나기 때문이다. 언어 모델은 훈련에서 도구 호출보다 훨씬 많은 실제 코드를 보았다. 도구를 프로그래밍 언어의 호출 가능한 함수로 제시하면, 모델은 프로그래머가 그러듯이 반복문, 조건문, 오류 처리에 대해 추론할 수 있다. Cloudflare는 Code Mode [9]에서 명시적으로 그렇게 주장한다. 도구 호출은 모델이 드물게 접하는 패턴에 의존하지만, 코드 생성은 모델이 깊이 내면화한 패턴에 의존한다.
코드 생성의 토큰 절약 효과는 크다. 전통적인 도구 호출 루프에서는 모든 중간 결과가 모델의 컨텍스트 윈도를 거친다. 2시간짜리 회의 녹취를 가져와 CRM에 첨부하면, 전체 녹취가 컨텍스트에 두 번 들어간다. 20명 직원의 예산 데이터를 하나씩 조회하면, 요약하기 전에 20개의 응답이 모두 컨텍스트에 적재된다. 코드 생성을 사용하면 중간 결과가 실행 환경에 머물고, 최종 출력 -- 필터링된 요약, 합계 -- 만 모델에게 돌아간다. Anthropic은 대표적인 사례에서 토큰 사용량을 15만에서 2천으로 줄였다고 보고한다 [10].
실용적인 구현에는 세 가지가 필요하다.
코드 실행 환경. 생성된 코드가 어딘가에서 실행되어야 한다. 샌드박스가 필요하다. 네트워크 접근을 제한하고, 의도한 것 이외의 파일시스템 접근을 금지해야 한다. Cloudflare는 V8 isolate를 사용하고, Anthropic은 Python 컨테이너를 사용한다. 직접 구축한다면 인프라가 간단하지는 않지만, 샌드박스는 일반적으로 사용할 수 있다.
함수로 노출된 도구. 모델은 어떤 함수가 사용 가능하고 무엇을 반환하는지 알아야 한다. 출력 형식에 대한 설명이 중요하다. 도구가 JSON을 반환한다면 스키마를 설명하라. 모델이 코드를 작성하려면 기대해야 하는 결과를 알아야 한다.
도구별 옵트인. 모든 도구가 생성된 코드에서 호출 가능해야 하는 것은 아니다. Anthropic의 API는 각 도구 정의의 allowed_callers 필드로 이를 구현한다 [11]. 모델이 직접 호출하는 도구와 코드에서 호출하는 도구를 구분한다. 이 구분은 보안상 중요하다. 부작용이 있거나 민감한 출력을 가진 도구는 두 맥락에서 다른 처리가 필요할 수 있다.
도구 사용 외에도 같은 원칙이 적용된다. 에이전트가 데이터를 처리해야 할 때 -- 파일을 변환하거나, 질의 결과를 집계하거나, 목록을 필터링하는 -- 코드를 작성하게 하고 그 코드를 실행하는 것이 자연어로 데이터에 대해 추론하게 하는 것보다 나은 경우가 많다. 모델의 코드 생성 능력은 코딩 에이전트만을 위한 기능이 아니라 기본적인 도구이다.
이 패턴을 채택하고 싶다면, MCPorter [12]가 도움이 될 수 있다. MCPorter는 MCP 서버의 도구 정의에서 TypeScript 래퍼를 생성하는 오픈 소스 TypeScript 라이브러리이다.
한 가지 주의사항이 있다. 이 패턴은 실행 환경이 진정으로 격리되어 있어야 한다. 생성된 코드는 신뢰할 수 없는 입력이다. 에이전트가 악의적인 코드를 생성하게 하는 프롬프트로 공격당할 수 있다. 샌드박싱은 선택사항이 아니다.
에이전트가 기계가 읽을 수 있는 출력을 내놓아야 할 때는 -- 분류, 결정, 필드 추출 -- 구조화된 출력이 올바른 도구다. 텍스트를 파싱하는 대신, 스키마를 정의하고 모델이 채운다. 더 신뢰할 수 있고, 테스트하기 더 쉽고, 파싱 버그를 통째로 제거한다.
언어 모델은 토큰을 왼쪽에서 오른쪽으로 순서대로 생성한다. 스키마를 {"answer": "..."} 로 정의하면, 모델은 바로 답을 정한다. {"reasoning": "...", "answer": "..."} 로 정의하면, 모델은 먼저 추론하도록 강제되고 그 추론이 답에 영향을 미친다. 추론 필드가 스키마에서 답 필드보다 앞에 오므로, 출력에서도 답 앞에 온다.
나중에 추론을 완전히 버리고 답만 사용해도 된다. 성능상의 이점은 추론을 읽는 것이 아니라 모델이 추론을 생성했다는 데서 온다. 이 방법은 특별한 모델 지원 없이 추론 모델과 같은 효과를 얻을 수 있게 해 준다.
에이전트가 파일을 수정해야 한다면 파일 편집을 어떻게 구현하느냐가 시스템 성능에 중요한 영향을 미친다.
이것은 내 경험만이 아니다. Anthropic은 파일 편집 신뢰성을 명시적으로 어려운 문제 중 하나로 꼽았다 [13]. Anthropic이 API로 제공하는 텍스트 편집기 도구 [14]를 보면, str_replace 명령은 정확한 문자열 일치를 필요로 하며, 하니스는 문자열이 일치하지 않거나 여러 번 일치할 때 오류를 반환해야 한다. 문제가 충분히 어렵기 때문에 Anthropic은 도구 설계에 우회책을 내장했다 (예를 들어 파일의 절대 경로를 요구하는 것은 명시적인 오류 방지 조치다).
어려운 점은 모델이 원하는 변경에 대해 추론할 뿐 아니라, 모호함이나 오류 없이 파일에 기계적으로 적용할 수 있는 형식으로 출력을 내놓아야 한다는 것이다. 이것은 서로 다른 일이며, 어떤 형식을 선택하느냐에 따라 기계적인 적용 단계가 얼마나 자주 실패하는지가 달라진다.
현재 사용되는 주요 접근법은 다음과 같다.
전체 파일 재작성. 모델이 파일의 내용을 완전히 새로 출력한다. 구현하고 파싱하기 단순하며, 형식 오류로 실패하지 않는다. 단점은 비용(출력 토큰이 파일 크기에 비례해 증가함)과 주변 컨텍스트 손실이다. 작은 파일에서만 실용적이다.
문자열 교체. 모델이 이전 문자열과 새 문자열을 출력하면, 하니스가 찾아서 교체한다. Anthropic이 사용하는 방식이다 [14]. 실패 방식은 잘 알려져 있다. 모델은 공백과 들여쓰기를 포함해 이전 문자열을 글자 하나 하나 그대로 재현해야 하는데, 이것을 자주 틀린다. "교체할 문자열을 찾지 못했다"는 오류는 에이전트 실패의 흔한 원인이다.
patch/diff 형식. 모델이 변경사항을 설명하는 구조화된 diff를 출력한다. OpenAI의 Codex는 *** Begin Patch 와 *** End Patch 마커가 있는 커스텀 패치 형식을 사용한다. 그 자체로는 쉽게 망가지지만 Codex는 제약된 샘플링(constrained sampling)으로 이를 해결한다. 패치 형식을 Lark 문맥 자유 문법(context free grammar)으로 표현하고, 추론 시 모델 출력을 문법에 맞게 제한한다 [15]. 이것은 형식 오류를 통째로 제거한다. 이것이 OpenAI의 공개 API를 사용해 이루어진다는 점이 중요하다 [16]. 이 기법은 누구나 사용할 수 있다.
훈련된 병합 모델. Cursor는 모델의 편집 의도를 원본 파일과 병합하는 별도의 70B 모델을 훈련했다. 병합 견고성을 학습된 능력으로 만들어 형식 문제를 완전히 우회한다. 명백한 비용은 전용 모델을 훈련하고 서빙하는 데 상당한 자원이 필요하다는 것이다.
Can Bölük은 16개 모델을 180개 과제에서 벤치마킹하여 형식 선택만으로도 성공률이 달라질 수 있음을 보였다 [17]. 그의 글은 이 장과 함께 읽을 가치가 있다. 그가 제안한 형식은 각 줄에 줄 번호와 짧은 해시를 태그한다. 주요 이점은 모델이 정확한 내용을 재현하지 않고 식별자로 줄을 참조할 수 있다는 것인데, 이것이 모델에게는 훨씬 쉽다. 해시는 줄 번호에 더해서 체크섬 역할을 한다. 이전 편집으로 줄이 밀렸다면, 예상 해시와 실제 줄 내용 사이의 불일치가 잘못된 줄을 조용히 편집하는 대신 오류를 잡아낸다.
에이전트에게 도구를 준다는 것은 세상에서 실제 행동을 취할 수 있는 능력을 주는 것이다 -- 파일 읽기, 파일 쓰기, 명령 실행, 외부 서비스 호출. 도구 인가 제어는 에이전트가 자율적으로 취할 수 있는 행동과 사람의 승인이 필요한 행동을 결정하는 방법이다. 이것을 제대로 하는 것은 안전과 사용성 모두에 중요하다. 너무 제한적이면 에이전트가 일을 할 수 없고, 너무 허용적이면 모르는 사이에 피해를 줄 수 있는 자율 시스템이 된다.
먼저 이해해야 할 것은 인가와 샌드박싱이 상호 보완적이며 서로 대체할 수 없다는 것이다. 인가는 에이전트가 무엇을 하기로 결정하는지를 제어하며 에이전트 수준에서 작동한다. 샌드박싱은 에이전트가 무엇을 결정하든 관계없이 OS 수준에서 제한을 강제한다. Claude Code의 문서 [18]는 이 구분을 명확히 한다. 인가는 에이전트가 제한된 행동을 시도하는 것을 막고, 샌드박싱은 에이전트가 제한된 행동을 시도하더라도 그러한 행동이 실제로 실행되는 것을 막는다. 둘 다 사용해야 한다.
덜 명백한 점은 Bash 인가 규칙이 보이는 것보다 강한 점도 있고 약한 점도 있다는 것이다.
보이는 것보다 강한 이유는 셸 명령이 문자열로만 매칭되지 않고 파싱되기 때문이다. Claude Code는 오픈 소스가 아니지만, Bun을 사용한다고 알려져 있는데, Bun에는 셸 파서가 포함되어 있다. Codex(오픈 소스)는 Tree-sitter의 Bash 파서로 같은 작업을 한다 [19]. 스크립트가 완전한 AST로 파싱되고, 단순한 명령 이외의 것이 포함되면 파싱이 거부된다. 허용된 연산자 (&&, ||, ;, |)는 각 개별 명령을 추출하고 각각을 인가 규칙과 별도로 확인하는 방식으로 처리된다. 즉 Bash(safe-cmd *)는 safe-cmd && malicious-cmd를 허용하지 않는다. 파서가 두 개의 명령을 보고 둘 다 확인한다.
보이는 것보다 약한 이유는 명령 이름 수준에서 안전성을 알 수 없기 때문이다. 고전적인 예시가 있다. rm을 거부하고 find를 허용해도 파일 삭제가 막히지 않는다. find에는 -delete 옵션이 있기 때문이다. 많은 유닉스 명령이 이처럼 다목적이다. 특정 명령이 안전하다는 가정 하에 작성된 단순한 허용 목록은 이러한 구멍이 생기는 경향이 있으며, 에이전트나 프롬프트 인젝션을 통해 에이전트를 제어하는 공격자는 그러한 구멍을 찾아낼 수 있다.
코딩 에이전트를 위한 실용적인 인가 모델은 이런 모습일 수 있다. 읽기 작업은 승인이 필요 없다. 파일 편집은 세션당 한 번 승인이 필요하다. 셸 명령은 명령당 승인이 필요하되, 테스트 실행이나 프로젝트 빌드 같은 일반적이고 안전한 작업은 미리 승인된 허용 목록에 넣는다.
파일이나 웹를 읽는 에이전트는 그 내용으로부터 공격자의 지시를 받을 수 있다. 엄격한 인가 규칙이 주요 방어책이다. 데이터를 유출하라는 지시는 에이전트가 외부 URL에 도달할 수 없다면 성공할 수 없다.

이 글은 AI 에이전트 시스템을 만들며 쌓은 경험을 정리한 것으로, 2026년 2월에 썼다. 두 부분으로 구성된다. 첫 번째 부분은 총론이고, 두 번째 부분은 각론이다.
이 분야는 빠르게 변하고 있어, 여기에 쓴 교훈도 금방 낡을 수 있다. 컨텍스트 윈도는 이 글 전반에 걸쳐 반복되는 제약이지만, 미래에는 그렇지 않을 수도 있다. "차근차근 생각하라(Let's think step by step)"는 2022년 발표된 이래 널리 권장되었지만 [1], 최근 연구에 따르면 이 기법은 이제 덜 중요해졌다 [2]. 이 글의 내용도 일부는 그런 운명을 맞을 것이다.
AI 에이전트 시스템을 위한 목표는 명확하고, 유용하고, 달성 가능해야 한다.
명확하다는 것은 테스트할 수 있을 만큼 구체적이라는 뜻이다. "개발자의 코딩 작업을 돕는다"는 목표가 아니라 범주다. 목표는 "GitHub 이슈 설명과 Python 저장소가 주어지면, 기존 테스트를 통과하는 PR을 생성한다" 같은 것이다. 후자에서는 어떤 입력을 준비해야 하는지, 어떤 출력을 평가해야 하는지, 평가 기준이 무엇인지가 드러난다. 목표의 범위를 좁혀야 한다. 범용 시스템은 평가하기 어렵고, 개선하기 어렵고, 제대로 작동하는지 알기도 어렵다. 좁은 범위에서 시스템이 잘 작동하면 범위를 넓히는 것을 고려할 수 있다.
유용하다는 것은 목표를 달성했을 때 실제 문제가 해결된다는 뜻이다. 이는 명확함과는 다른 개념이다. "코드베이스를 감사하여 보안 문제를 발견한다"는 잘 정의된 목표일 수 있고, 내 경험상 달성 가능하기도 하다. 하지만 이미 알고 있는 보안 문제를 해결하는 데도 허덕이고 있다면, 잠재적 오탐을 포함하는 더 많은 문제를 대기열에 추가하는 것은 유용하지 않다. 질문은 단순히 "이것을 할 수 있는가?"가 아니라 "이것이 실제로 원하는 것인가?"다.
달성 가능하다는 것은 현재 모델 능력을 감안했을 때 현실적이라는 뜻이다. SWE-bench Verified 같은 벤치마크는 현재 AI가 어떤 코딩을 할 수 있는지 대략적인 감을 준다. 다른 분야에도 비슷한 벤치마크가 있다. 목표를 달성하기 위해 현재 모델이 일관되게 실패하는 무언가를 안정적으로 해야 한다면 그것은 현실적으로 어려울 수 있다. 모델 능력은 꾸준히 발전하고 있으므로, 작업이 급하지 않다면 현재 한계에 맞춰 어떻게든 시스템을 구축하기보다 기다리는 것이 나을 수 있다.
인간 전문가가 목표를 달성하기 위해 무엇을 할지 모호함 없이 설명할 수 있는가? 결과물이 나오면 실제로 사용하겠는가? 그렇지 않다면, 작업을 시작하기 전에 목표를 더 다듬어야 한다.
측정할 수 없는 것은 개선할 수 없다. 평가는 에이전트에 가한 변경 -- 다른 모델, 새 프롬프트, 다른 도구 -- 이 상황을 좋아지게 했는지 나빠지게 했는지 판단하는 수단이다. 평가 없이는 눈을 감고 운전하는 것과 같다.
평가는 객관적인 것이 좋다. 목표가 "기존 테스트를 통과하는 PR을 생성한다"라면, 평가는 테스트를 실행하는 것이다. 테스트는 통과하거나 실패할 것이다. 객관적 평가는 빠르고, 저렴하고, 일관적이다. 목표를 객관적 기준을 중심으로 설계할 수 있다면, 그렇게 하라.
객관적 평가가 어렵다면 주관적 평가도 가능하다. 주관적 평가는 사람이 할 수도 있고 AI가 할 수도 있다 (LLM-as-a-judge). 두 경우 모두 채점 기준(scoring rubric)이 도움이 된다. 채점 기준이란 각 항목별로 어떤 것이 좋은 답변이고 어떤 것이 나쁜 답변인지 명확하게 설명한 기준 목록이다. 채점 기준이 없으면 평가자 간 일치도(inter-rater agreement)가 낮다. 동일한 출력을 두 평가자가 평가하면 의견이 갈리고, 같은 평가자도 시간이 지나면 기준이 흔들린다. 채점 기준은 여러 평가 실행 간에 점수를 비교 가능하게 한다. AI가 평가하는 경우에도 명확한 채점 기준을 받은 모델은 그렇지 않은 모델보다 더 일관된 점수를 준다.
평가가 반드시 갖춰야 할 두 가지 속성이 있다. 목표를 반영해야 하고, 속이기 어려워야 한다.
목표를 반영한다는 것은 평가에서 좋은 점수를 받으면 목표도 실제로 달성된다는 뜻이다. 실제와 동떨어진 평가는 에이전트를 엉뚱한 방향으로 최적화한다. 에이전트의 목표가 고객 지원 티켓 처리라면, 비슷해 보이지만 실제의 복잡함이 없고 단순한 합성 데이터보다 실제 고객 지원 티켓으로 평가하는 것이 바람직하다.
속이기 어렵다는 것은 에이전트가 지표를 조작해 좋은 점수를 받을 수 없어야 한다는 뜻이다. 평가가 "테스트를 통과하는가"를 측정하는데 에이전트가 테스트를 수정할 수 있다면, 지표를 믿을 수 없다. 적대적으로 생각할 필요가 있다. 에이전트가 좋은 점수를 받았다면, 그것이 항상 실제로 더 좋은 것인가? SWE-bench Verified는 교훈적인 사례다. OpenAI는 실패의 절반 이상이 테스트 결함 때문임을 발견했다. 어떤 테스트는 문제 설명에 언급되지 않은 특정 구현 세부사항을 강제했고, 다른 어떤 테스트는 명세되지 않은 기능을 테스트했다. 그 외에도, 테스트된 모든 프론티어 모델이 정답 패치를 암기해서 그대로 재현할 수 있었는데, 이는 훈련 데이터가 오염되었음을 시사한다. 그 결과 OpenAI는 SWE-bench Verified 점수 보고를 중단했다 [3].
작게 시작하라. 개발 초기에는 평가 예시 열 개로도 충분한 경우가 많다. 초기에는 에이전트가 작동하지 않는 상태에서 작동하는 상태로 전환되고 있으므로, 열 개의 예시만으로도 변화를 감지할 수 있다. 에이전트가 성숙해 더 작은 점진적인 개선을 하게 되면 열 개의 예시로는 감지가 어려워진다. 감지하려는 개선이 작아질수록 평가 예시를 늘려야 한다.
에이전트의 로그는 큰 가치가 있다. 실패한 에이전트의 로그를 읽어보는 것만으로도 많은 것을 알 수 있다. 모델은 생성하면서 생각하기 때문에 그 사고 과정이 로그에 남는다. 그러한 로그를 읽으면 모델이 도구 결과를 잘못 읽고, 잘못된 가정을 하고, 이후 여러 턴에 걸쳐 잘못된 가정을 고수하는 모습을 볼 수 있다. 이것은 다른 방법으로는 얻을 수 없는 귀한 정보이며, 그렇기 때문에 로그에는 투자할 가치가 있다.
최소한 모델의 모든 상호작용을 기록해야 한다. 기록해야 하는 항목으로 사용한 모델, 전체 입력 (시스템 프롬프트와 도구 정의 포함), 전체 출력, 소요 시간, 비용이 있다. 비용 추적을 하지 않으면 나중에 재구성하기 어렵다. 지연 시간 데이터는 모델이나 프롬프트 변경을 비교해 속도와 품질 간의 트레이드오프를 분석해야 할 때 꼭 필요하다.
로그는 사람이 직접 살펴보는 것과 자동화된 분석을 지원해야 한다. 사람이 직접 살펴보려면 로그를 보기 쉬운 형태로 읽을 수 있어야 하고 시간, 작업, 결과, 비용 등으로 검색할 수 있어야 한다. 자동화된 분석을 위해서는 모델이 질의할 수 있는 구조화된 형식으로 데이터가 존재해야 한다. 텍스트 파일로만 존재하는 로그는 개별 실패를 디버깅하는 데 유용하지만, 질의 가능한 형식으로 저장된 로그는 통계적인 질문을 할 수 있게 한다. 어떤 작업의 실패율이 가장 높은가? 어떤 프롬프트가 가장 긴 추론을 만드는가? 성공한 실행당 평균 비용은 얼마인가?
AI 에이전트 로그 관리를 위한 도구들이 있다. Langfuse [4]와 Logfire [5] 모두 살펴볼 가치가 있다. 하지만 기존 도구가 해결해 주지 않는 필요가 있다면 직접 도구를 만드는 것도 생각해봐야 한다. 그것은 독립적인 도구일 수도 있고 기존 플랫폼 위에 구축된 것일 수도 있다.
로그를 나중에 추가할 인프라로 생각해서는 안된다. 로그가 없는 고통을 느낄 때가 되면, 가장 큰 도움이 되었을 로그는 이미 잃어버린 뒤다.
에이전트를 개선하기 위해 모델, 프롬프트, 도구를 바꿀 수 있다.
모델은 시스템 성능에서 가장 중요한 요소다. 더 좋은 모델은 평범한 프롬프트를 구제할 수 있지만, 나쁜 모델은 완벽한 프롬프트로도 구제할 수 없다. 새로운 모델은 계속해서 나온다. 핵심은 새 모델을 빠르게 테스트할 수 있어야 한다는 것이다. 모델을 교체하고, 평가를 실행하고, 점수를 비교한다. 평가가 잘 갖춰져 있다면 이 작업은 며칠이 아니라 몇십 분이 걸려야 한다. 모델 평가가 쉬워야 새 모델을 빠르게 적용할 수 있다.
프롬프트는 일상적인 개선이 일어나는 곳이다. 프롬프트를 개선하는 올바른 방법은 모델이 원하는 것을 상상하는 것이 아니라 로그를 읽는 것이다. 실패한 실행의 로그는 보통 모델이 무엇을 오해했는지, 프롬프트의 어떤 부분이 전달되지 않았는지 보여준다. 변경사항은 평가로 검증해야 한다. 어떤 실패를 고치는 프롬프트 변경이 다른 어떤 경우를 조용히 망가뜨릴 수 있다.
도구는 모델과 세상 사이의 인터페이스이며, 사용자 인터페이스처럼 주의 깊게 설계해야 한다. 설계의 목표는 올바른 사용을 쉽게 하고 잘못된 사용을 어렵게 만드는 것이다. 모델이 도구를 자주 잘못 사용한다면 -- 인자를 잘못된 형식으로 전달하거나, 잘못된 맥락에서 호출하거나, 출력을 오해한다면 -- 그것은 모델의 문제가 아니라 도구의 문제다. 사용자가 계속 같은 실수를 하면 사용자가 아니라 UI를 다시 설계하듯이, 모델이 의도하지 않은 행동을 계속하면 모델에 맞춰주는 것이 좋을 수 있다.
세 가지 모두 직관보다는 평가로 변경하는 것이 바람직하다. 무엇이 도움이 될지에 대한 직관은 자주 틀리지만, 평가 점수는 그렇지 않다.
언어 모델은 세상에 대한 방대한 지식을 가지고 있다. 프로그래밍 언어와 과학의 개념과 역사적 사실을 이해한다. 하지만 우리 조직과 코드베이스, 내부 도구, 해당 분야의 관습에 대해서는 잘 모른다. 모델의 잘못이 아니라 알려주지 않았기 때문이다.
실용적인 해결책은 모델에게 필요한 것을 주는 것이다. 정보 소스와 사용법을 제공해야 한다. 에이전트가 내부 데이터베이스를 질의해야 한다면, 그렇게 할 수 있는 CLI를 주고 사용법 문서도 같이 준다. 코드베이스 특유의 관습을 따라야 한다면, 그 관습을 파일에 적어 둔다. 지식 베이스를 참조해야 한다면, 검색 도구를 주고 스키마를 설명한다. 모델의 추론 능력보다 추론할 재료가 문제인 경우가 많다.
Anthropic은 이 패턴을 에이전트 스킬 [6]로 공식화했다. 스킬은 지침이 담긴 SKILL.md 파일과 지원 스크립트 및 리소스로 구성된 폴더다. 시작할 때 에이전트는 설치된 각 스킬의 이름과 설명만 미리 읽어둔다. 작업이 관련 스킬을 트리거하면, 에이전트는 전체 지침과 링크된 파일을 필요에 따라 읽는다. 이 점진적 공개 설계 덕분에 컨텍스트 윈도에는 한계가 있지만 스킬에는 그보다 많은 컨텍스트를 담을 수 있다.
Anthropic의 스킬 형식을 사용하지 않더라도, 아이디어는 일반적으로 적용할 수 있다.. 에이전트에게 필요하지만 일반 지식으로는 유추할 수 없는 컨텍스트가 무엇인지 파악하고, 그 컨텍스트를 발견 가능한 리소스로 패키징하고, 에이전트가 필요에 따라 접근할 수 있는 도구를 주어라.
새 모델과 큰 모델이 능사는 아니다. 프론티어 모델은 비싸고 느리다. 에이전트 시스템 내의 많은 작업은 더 작은 모델로 충분하다. 실용적인 접근법은 각 작업을 안정적으로 할 수 있는 가장 작은 모델을 사용하는 것이다. 여러 모델을 대상으로 평가를 실행해 변곡점을 찾고, 그보다 한 단계 위의 모델을 쓰면 된다.
출력 토큰은 입력 토큰보다 비싸다. 따라서 입력 토큰보다 출력 토큰을 아껴야 한다. 필요한 것만 요청해 출력을 최소화하라. 작업을 위해 무거운 처리 전에 분류나 필터링이 필요하다면, 가벼운 단계를 먼저 하라. 천 개의 항목을 분류해 깊게 분석할 가치 있는 스무 개를 찾는 것은 천 개 모두 전체 분석을 실행하는 것보다 훨씬 저렴하다. 그리고 분류 단계는 분석 단계보다 더 작은 모델을 쓸 수 있는 경우가 많다.
프롬프트 캐싱은 입력 비용을 줄이는 가장 효과적인 수단 중 하나다. OpenAI와 Anthropic 모두 반복되는 프롬프트 접두사를 캐싱하므로, 매 요청 앞에 등장하는 내용 -- 시스템 프롬프트와 도구 정의 -- 은 한 번 캐싱되면 이후 호출에서 훨씬 저렴해진다. 안정적인 내용을 컨텍스트 앞에 두고 호출 사이에 편집하지 마라. 컨텍스트 편집 -- 대화의 앞부분을 재배열하거나, 요약하거나, 다듬는 것 -- 은 캐시를 파괴하므로 신중하게 접근해야 한다.
해야할 일을 배치 작업으로 구조화할 수 있다면 -- 실시간 요건 없이 처리되는 많은 독립적 입력 -- OpenAI와 Anthropic 모두 상당한 할인율로 배치 API를 제공한다. 배치 처리는 대화형 에이전트에는 적합하지 않지만, 평가 실행, 대규모 분류 작업, 지연 시간 제약이 없는 워크로드에서 비용을 크게 줄일 수 있다.
멀티 에이전트 시스템은 단순히 병렬로 실행하는 방법이 아니다. 두 가지 목적이 있다. 적당한 크기로 작업을 분해하는 것, 그리고 희소하고 제한된 자원인 컨텍스트 윈도를 아끼는 것이다.
컨텍스트 윈도 제약을 과소평가하는 경우가 많다. 컨텍스트 윈도 안의 모든 것이 모델의 주의를 두고 경쟁한다. 모든 중간 결과, 모든 도구 응답, 탐색하다 막힌 모든 막다른 길. 하나의 에이전트가 큰 작업을 처리하면 이 모든 것이 한 곳에 쌓인다. 정작 중요한 부분에 다다를 때쯤이면, 이전 단계에서 나온 무관하거나 오히려 방해가 되는 자료들로 컨텍스트가 가득 차 있다. 별도의 에이전트는 각자 자신의 작업에만 관련된 깔끔하고 집중된 컨텍스트를 갖는다.
작업 분해가 또 다른 이유다. 하나의 에이전트가 잘 처리하기에 너무 큰 작업은 보통 상호 의존성이 적은 하위 작업으로 나눌 수 있다. 오케스트레이터의 역할은 그 구조를 파악하는 것이다. 어떤 부분이 독립적으로 진행될 수 있는지, 어떤 것이 순서를 지켜야 하는지, 어떤 결과를 마지막에 종합해야 하는지. 이것은 단순한 프롬프팅 문제가 아니라 설계의 문제이다.
멀티 에이전트 아키텍처가 항상 올바른 선택은 아니다. 작업이 본질적으로 순차적이라면 -- 각 단계에서 이전의 모든 것에 대한 완전한 지식이 필요하다면 -- 에이전트를 분리해도 얻을 것이 거의 없고 문제점만 많아진다. 넓은 작업, 즉 병렬로 진행되다가 마지막에 종합하는 작업이 잘 맞는다. 단계 간 상호 의존성이 강한 촘촘하게 결합된 작업은 그렇지 않다.
멀티 에이전트 시스템은 비싸다. Anthropic에 따르면 멀티 에이전트 연구 시스템은 표준 채팅보다 약 15배 많은 토큰을 사용했다 [7]. 작업이 충분히 복잡하고 출력이 가치 있을 때만 그러한 비용이 정당화될 수 있다. 단일 에이전트로 처리할 수 있는 작업을 멀티 에이전트 시스템으로 하는 것은 낭비일 뿐이다.
서브에이전트는 오케스트레이터가 특정 하위 작업을 처리하기 위해 생성하는 에이전트이다. 별도의 컨텍스트 윈도와 도구, 실행 루프를 갖는다. 오케스트레이터는 작업을 위임하고, 결과를 기다리고, 그 결과를 자신의 컨텍스트에 통합한다.
서브에이전트에는 명확한 종료 조건이 필요하다. 완료되었음을 알리고 오케스트레이터가 사용할 수 있는 결과를 내놓는 무언가가 있어야 한다. 가장 깔끔한 메커니즘은 전용 출력 도구다. 모델이 출력 도구를 호출하면 실행이 끝나고 결과가 반환된다. 이것은 서브에이전트의 마지막 응답을 출력으로 사용하는 것보다 낫다. 명시적이고, 구조화되어 있고, 파싱하기 쉽기 때문이다.
Armin Ronacher는 모델이 출력 도구를 호출하지 못하는 경우가 있다고 지적한다 [8]. 이것은 실제 문제지만 해결할 수 없는 문제는 아니다. OpenAI와 Anthropic API 모두 특정 도구를 강제로 호출하게 할 수 있는 tool_choice 파라미터를 지원한다. 서브에이전트 실행이 끝날 때 작업을 마친 후 tool_choice를 출력 도구로 설정해 마지막 API 호출을 할 수 있다. 이렇게 하면 모델이 스스로 출력 도구를 호출하지 않으려 하더라도 구조화된 출력을 내도록 강제할 수 있다.
더 까다로운 문제는 실패다. 서브에이전트는 실패할 수 있으며, 가장 큰 피해를 주는 실패 방식은 명확한 오류가 아니라 진전 없이 길게 이어지는 실행이다. 문제가 되는 것은 오류의 증폭이다. 모델이 도구 결과를 잘못 읽고, 잘못된 방향으로 나아가고, 이후의 각 단계가 그 잘못된 기반 위에 쌓인다. 이런 실행은 턴 수 측면에서 가장 긴 경향이 있다. 성공할 서브에이전트는 대개 예측 가능한 턴 수 안에 성공한다. 그 지점을 넘어서도 계속 가는 것은 대개 막힌 것이다.
실용적인 해결책은 턴수 제한이다. 턴수 제한은 에이전트를 여러 작업에 실행해보고 성공적인 실행이 어디서 끝나는지 관찰해서 경험적으로 결정한다. 제한에 도달하면, 실행을 계속하게 두는 대신 포기하고 다시 시도한다. 깔끔한 컨텍스트로 새로 시작하면 길게 늘어진 실행이 실패할 곳에서 성공하는 경우가 많다. 이것은 에이전트가 점진적으로 진전을 이루고 있다고 생각한다면 직관에 반하지만, 오류 증폭은 막힌 에이전트가 나아지는 것이 아니라 종종 나빠지고 있음을 의미한다.
턴수 제한은 개발 중에 유용하기도 하다. 에이전트가 일상적으로 제한에 도달한다면, 그것은 작업 분해가 손질이 필요하다는 신호이거나, 도구가 모델에게 필요한 것을 주지 않고 있거나, 프롬프트가 언제 작업이 완료되었는지 충분히 명확하지 않다는 신호이다.
에이전트가 도구로 복잡한 작업을 해야 할 때 -- 여러 도구를 순서대로 호출하거나, 큰 결과를 필터링하거나, 항목 목록을 반복 처리하는 것 -- 단순한 접근법은 모델이 도구를 하나씩 호출하고, 호출 사이마다 모델을 거치는 것이다. 이것은 작동하지만 비싸고 느리다. 더 나은 방법이 있다. 모델에게 그 모든 것을 하는 코드를 생성하게 한 다음 코드를 실행하는 것이다.
이것이 가능한 이유는 언어 모델이 코드 생성에 유독 뛰어나기 때문이다. 언어 모델은 훈련에서 도구 호출보다 훨씬 많은 실제 코드를 보았다. 도구를 프로그래밍 언어의 호출 가능한 함수로 제시하면, 모델은 프로그래머가 그러듯이 반복문, 조건문, 오류 처리에 대해 추론할 수 있다. Cloudflare는 Code Mode [9]에서 명시적으로 그렇게 주장한다. 도구 호출은 모델이 드물게 접하는 패턴에 의존하지만, 코드 생성은 모델이 깊이 내면화한 패턴에 의존한다.
코드 생성의 토큰 절약 효과는 크다. 전통적인 도구 호출 루프에서는 모든 중간 결과가 모델의 컨텍스트 윈도를 거친다. 2시간짜리 회의 녹취를 가져와 CRM에 첨부하면, 전체 녹취가 컨텍스트에 두 번 들어간다. 20명 직원의 예산 데이터를 하나씩 조회하면, 요약하기 전에 20개의 응답이 모두 컨텍스트에 적재된다. 코드 생성을 사용하면 중간 결과가 실행 환경에 머물고, 최종 출력 -- 필터링된 요약, 합계 -- 만 모델에게 돌아간다. Anthropic은 대표적인 사례에서 토큰 사용량을 15만에서 2천으로 줄였다고 보고한다 [10].
실용적인 구현에는 세 가지가 필요하다.
코드 실행 환경. 생성된 코드가 어딘가에서 실행되어야 한다. 샌드박스가 필요하다. 네트워크 접근을 제한하고, 의도한 것 이외의 파일시스템 접근을 금지해야 한다. Cloudflare는 V8 isolate를 사용하고, Anthropic은 Python 컨테이너를 사용한다. 직접 구축한다면 인프라가 간단하지는 않지만, 샌드박스는 일반적으로 사용할 수 있다.
함수로 노출된 도구. 모델은 어떤 함수가 사용 가능하고 무엇을 반환하는지 알아야 한다. 출력 형식에 대한 설명이 중요하다. 도구가 JSON을 반환한다면 스키마를 설명하라. 모델이 코드를 작성하려면 기대해야 하는 결과를 알아야 한다.
도구별 옵트인. 모든 도구가 생성된 코드에서 호출 가능해야 하는 것은 아니다. Anthropic의 API는 각 도구 정의의 allowed_callers 필드로 이를 구현한다 [11]. 모델이 직접 호출하는 도구와 코드에서 호출하는 도구를 구분한다. 이 구분은 보안상 중요하다. 부작용이 있거나 민감한 출력을 가진 도구는 두 맥락에서 다른 처리가 필요할 수 있다.
도구 사용 외에도 같은 원칙이 적용된다. 에이전트가 데이터를 처리해야 할 때 -- 파일을 변환하거나, 질의 결과를 집계하거나, 목록을 필터링하는 -- 코드를 작성하게 하고 그 코드를 실행하는 것이 자연어로 데이터에 대해 추론하게 하는 것보다 나은 경우가 많다. 모델의 코드 생성 능력은 코딩 에이전트만을 위한 기능이 아니라 기본적인 도구이다.
이 패턴을 채택하고 싶다면, MCPorter [12]가 도움이 될 수 있다. MCPorter는 MCP 서버의 도구 정의에서 TypeScript 래퍼를 생성하는 오픈 소스 TypeScript 라이브러리이다.
한 가지 주의사항이 있다. 이 패턴은 실행 환경이 진정으로 격리되어 있어야 한다. 생성된 코드는 신뢰할 수 없는 입력이다. 에이전트가 악의적인 코드를 생성하게 하는 프롬프트로 공격당할 수 있다. 샌드박싱은 선택사항이 아니다.
에이전트가 기계가 읽을 수 있는 출력을 내놓아야 할 때는 -- 분류, 결정, 필드 추출 -- 구조화된 출력이 올바른 도구다. 텍스트를 파싱하는 대신, 스키마를 정의하고 모델이 채운다. 더 신뢰할 수 있고, 테스트하기 더 쉽고, 파싱 버그를 통째로 제거한다.
언어 모델은 토큰을 왼쪽에서 오른쪽으로 순서대로 생성한다. 스키마를 {"answer": "..."} 로 정의하면, 모델은 바로 답을 정한다. {"reasoning": "...", "answer": "..."} 로 정의하면, 모델은 먼저 추론하도록 강제되고 그 추론이 답에 영향을 미친다. 추론 필드가 스키마에서 답 필드보다 앞에 오므로, 출력에서도 답 앞에 온다.
나중에 추론을 완전히 버리고 답만 사용해도 된다. 성능상의 이점은 추론을 읽는 것이 아니라 모델이 추론을 생성했다는 데서 온다. 이 방법은 특별한 모델 지원 없이 추론 모델과 같은 효과를 얻을 수 있게 해 준다.
에이전트가 파일을 수정해야 한다면 파일 편집을 어떻게 구현하느냐가 시스템 성능에 중요한 영향을 미친다.
이것은 내 경험만이 아니다. Anthropic은 파일 편집 신뢰성을 명시적으로 어려운 문제 중 하나로 꼽았다 [13]. Anthropic이 API로 제공하는 텍스트 편집기 도구 [14]를 보면, str_replace 명령은 정확한 문자열 일치를 필요로 하며, 하니스는 문자열이 일치하지 않거나 여러 번 일치할 때 오류를 반환해야 한다. 문제가 충분히 어렵기 때문에 Anthropic은 도구 설계에 우회책을 내장했다 (예를 들어 파일의 절대 경로를 요구하는 것은 명시적인 오류 방지 조치다).
어려운 점은 모델이 원하는 변경에 대해 추론할 뿐 아니라, 모호함이나 오류 없이 파일에 기계적으로 적용할 수 있는 형식으로 출력을 내놓아야 한다는 것이다. 이것은 서로 다른 일이며, 어떤 형식을 선택하느냐에 따라 기계적인 적용 단계가 얼마나 자주 실패하는지가 달라진다.
현재 사용되는 주요 접근법은 다음과 같다.
전체 파일 재작성. 모델이 파일의 내용을 완전히 새로 출력한다. 구현하고 파싱하기 단순하며, 형식 오류로 실패하지 않는다. 단점은 비용(출력 토큰이 파일 크기에 비례해 증가함)과 주변 컨텍스트 손실이다. 작은 파일에서만 실용적이다.
문자열 교체. 모델이 이전 문자열과 새 문자열을 출력하면, 하니스가 찾아서 교체한다. Anthropic이 사용하는 방식이다 [14]. 실패 방식은 잘 알려져 있다. 모델은 공백과 들여쓰기를 포함해 이전 문자열을 글자 하나 하나 그대로 재현해야 하는데, 이것을 자주 틀린다. "교체할 문자열을 찾지 못했다"는 오류는 에이전트 실패의 흔한 원인이다.
patch/diff 형식. 모델이 변경사항을 설명하는 구조화된 diff를 출력한다. OpenAI의 Codex는 *** Begin Patch 와 *** End Patch 마커가 있는 커스텀 패치 형식을 사용한다. 그 자체로는 쉽게 망가지지만 Codex는 제약된 샘플링(constrained sampling)으로 이를 해결한다. 패치 형식을 Lark 문맥 자유 문법(context free grammar)으로 표현하고, 추론 시 모델 출력을 문법에 맞게 제한한다 [15]. 이것은 형식 오류를 통째로 제거한다. 이것이 OpenAI의 공개 API를 사용해 이루어진다는 점이 중요하다 [16]. 이 기법은 누구나 사용할 수 있다.
훈련된 병합 모델. Cursor는 모델의 편집 의도를 원본 파일과 병합하는 별도의 70B 모델을 훈련했다. 병합 견고성을 학습된 능력으로 만들어 형식 문제를 완전히 우회한다. 명백한 비용은 전용 모델을 훈련하고 서빙하는 데 상당한 자원이 필요하다는 것이다.
Can Bölük은 16개 모델을 180개 과제에서 벤치마킹하여 형식 선택만으로도 성공률이 달라질 수 있음을 보였다 [17]. 그의 글은 이 장과 함께 읽을 가치가 있다. 그가 제안한 형식은 각 줄에 줄 번호와 짧은 해시를 태그한다. 주요 이점은 모델이 정확한 내용을 재현하지 않고 식별자로 줄을 참조할 수 있다는 것인데, 이것이 모델에게는 훨씬 쉽다. 해시는 줄 번호에 더해서 체크섬 역할을 한다. 이전 편집으로 줄이 밀렸다면, 예상 해시와 실제 줄 내용 사이의 불일치가 잘못된 줄을 조용히 편집하는 대신 오류를 잡아낸다.
에이전트에게 도구를 준다는 것은 세상에서 실제 행동을 취할 수 있는 능력을 주는 것이다 -- 파일 읽기, 파일 쓰기, 명령 실행, 외부 서비스 호출. 도구 인가 제어는 에이전트가 자율적으로 취할 수 있는 행동과 사람의 승인이 필요한 행동을 결정하는 방법이다. 이것을 제대로 하는 것은 안전과 사용성 모두에 중요하다. 너무 제한적이면 에이전트가 일을 할 수 없고, 너무 허용적이면 모르는 사이에 피해를 줄 수 있는 자율 시스템이 된다.
먼저 이해해야 할 것은 인가와 샌드박싱이 상호 보완적이며 서로 대체할 수 없다는 것이다. 인가는 에이전트가 무엇을 하기로 결정하는지를 제어하며 에이전트 수준에서 작동한다. 샌드박싱은 에이전트가 무엇을 결정하든 관계없이 OS 수준에서 제한을 강제한다. Claude Code의 문서 [18]는 이 구분을 명확히 한다. 인가는 에이전트가 제한된 행동을 시도하는 것을 막고, 샌드박싱은 에이전트가 제한된 행동을 시도하더라도 그러한 행동이 실제로 실행되는 것을 막는다. 둘 다 사용해야 한다.
덜 명백한 점은 Bash 인가 규칙이 보이는 것보다 강한 점도 있고 약한 점도 있다는 것이다.
보이는 것보다 강한 이유는 셸 명령이 문자열로만 매칭되지 않고 파싱되기 때문이다. Claude Code는 오픈 소스가 아니지만, Bun을 사용한다고 알려져 있는데, Bun에는 셸 파서가 포함되어 있다. Codex(오픈 소스)는 Tree-sitter의 Bash 파서로 같은 작업을 한다 [19]. 스크립트가 완전한 AST로 파싱되고, 단순한 명령 이외의 것이 포함되면 파싱이 거부된다. 허용된 연산자 (&&, ||, ;, |)는 각 개별 명령을 추출하고 각각을 인가 규칙과 별도로 확인하는 방식으로 처리된다. 즉 Bash(safe-cmd *)는 safe-cmd && malicious-cmd를 허용하지 않는다. 파서가 두 개의 명령을 보고 둘 다 확인한다.
보이는 것보다 약한 이유는 명령 이름 수준에서 안전성을 알 수 없기 때문이다. 고전적인 예시가 있다. rm을 거부하고 find를 허용해도 파일 삭제가 막히지 않는다. find에는 -delete 옵션이 있기 때문이다. 많은 유닉스 명령이 이처럼 다목적이다. 특정 명령이 안전하다는 가정 하에 작성된 단순한 허용 목록은 이러한 구멍이 생기는 경향이 있으며, 에이전트나 프롬프트 인젝션을 통해 에이전트를 제어하는 공격자는 그러한 구멍을 찾아낼 수 있다.
코딩 에이전트를 위한 실용적인 인가 모델은 이런 모습일 수 있다. 읽기 작업은 승인이 필요 없다. 파일 편집은 세션당 한 번 승인이 필요하다. 셸 명령은 명령당 승인이 필요하되, 테스트 실행이나 프로젝트 빌드 같은 일반적이고 안전한 작업은 미리 승인된 허용 목록에 넣는다.
파일이나 웹를 읽는 에이전트는 그 내용으로부터 공격자의 지시를 받을 수 있다. 엄격한 인가 규칙이 주요 방어책이다. 데이터를 유출하라는 지시는 에이전트가 외부 URL에 도달할 수 없다면 성공할 수 없다.

The learning gets reinforced when you're witnessing that you keep getting away with BS. Many things do no longer have to effectively work, but just to look as if they were.
The only exception being when there are physical (e.g., medical) or financial consequences that hit individual users, directly.
Accountability is key here. Being held financially accountable for the recommendations or decisions of the "#AI" you're selling would be a game changer.

I've been increasingly concerned about the corporate monopoly over frontier LLMs. While many ethically-minded people choose to boycott these models, I believe passive resistance alone cannot break the structural grip of big tech. To truly “liberate” these technologies and turn them into public goods, we need to look beyond moral high grounds and engage with the material basis of AI—specifically compute, data, and the relations of production.
I've written two posts exploring this through the lens of historical materialism. The first piece analyzes why current “open source” definitions struggle with LLMs, and the second discusses what it means to “act materialistically” in our imperfect world. My goal is to suggest a path forward that moves from mere boycotting to a more proactive, structural socialization of AI infrastructure.
If you've been feeling uneasy about the AI landscape but aren't sure if boycotting is the final answer, I'd love for you to give these a read:

“At least 1,357 medical devices using AI are now authorized by the FDA – double the number it had allowed through 2022. The TruDi system isn’t the only one to come under question: The FDA has received reports involving dozens of other AI-enhanced devices, including a heart monitor said to have overlooked abnormal heartbeats and an ultrasound device that allegedly misidentified fetal body parts.
Researchers from Johns Hopkins, Georgetown and Yale universities recently found that 60 FDA-authorized medical devices using AI were linked to 182 product recalls, according to a research letter published in the JAMA Health Forum in August. Their review showed that 43% of the recalls occurred less than a year after the devices were greenlighted. That’s about twice the recall rate of all devices authorized under similar FDA rules, the review noted.”

Look, #AI companies today are BLEEDING money. OpenAI, in particular, has resorted to all kinds of circular “investments” that don’t actually give them any more cash to pay their employees and data center contractors. They rely on constant injections of cash to stay in business, without a clear path to profitability. This creates a virtually irresistible incentive to embed their products into *government* institutions, so they can suckle on the teat of taxpayer funding.
Which is why I was quite pleasantly surprised when #Anthropic made a moral stand against the use of their products for surveillance and killing, and why I was not at all surprised when #OpenAI did the exact opposite (despite what they claimed their agreement said).

You know the recent Discord snafu that received such massive pushback and caused so many people to leave Discord that they've dropped their identity verification?
Yeah, that Persona.
Duo integrates it into Duo Premier, Duo Advantage, and even Duo Essentials...

Just like 2008 had "Subprime Mortgages (or "Dot Com" crash) that nobody understood, 2026 has "Circular AI Revenue" deals. Ex: Microsoft gives money to OpenAI, who gives it back to Microsoft for Azure credits, which Microsoft then reports as "AI Growth".
Microsoft and Nvidia fund AI startups that buy their own tech back to report "growth." With $600b burning in data centers in 2026 alone but no real revenue to back it up.
If that loop snaps, the "fuck up" will be massive.

We're doing ourselves a massive disservice by having an "no-AI no matter what" attitude.
LLMs and other Deep Learning models are doing advancements in science every other day. For a group of people that usually embraces scientific progress (Mastodon), I find the community here very dogmatic and against science if it comes from AI-assisted work.
I get it, there's a lot of slop that flooded the academic community. There also were big issues with the scientific community before AI: lack of funding for replication studies, publication bias, the file drawer problem, where studies which fail to reject the null hypothesis are less likely to be published than those that do produce a statistically significant result.
Oh the other hand, AlphaFold is pushing the boundaries of protein folding, MatterGen is producing many DFT-stable, database-novel crystal structures, LLMs continue to solve Erdos problems.
And there are open alternatives we should champion: OpenFold is attempting a permissive replication of AlphaFold 2, for example.
"But muh AI is fascism" - very Ameri-brained take, decentre yourself and fix your country, you can't lock the entire world out of scientific progress because you live in a failed state.
"But muh stealing work" - you're literally arguing JSTOR and Elsevier's point against Aaron Swarz
"But muh energy use" - shunning indie Devs that try to improve AI efficiency basically guarantees capture of AI by big players that can afford to just scale more instead of invest in better, post-transformer architecture.
I see the cynical view of AI displayed here as masking intellectual laziness, and I think it's frankly dishonest to our communities (that, if we want to still consider ourselves champions of scientific progress).

I'd like to comment on the common "AI is just a tool" thing: I'm a woodworker by training & that means a lot of machines - but almost every craftsperson knows how to do their job with hand tools, or "lesser" machines.
Similarly, a writer can write without a text editor - just as well, only slower.
If loss of a tool = loss of your skill & knowledge, then that tool isn't an asset, it's a liability. You're signing over your ability to do business to whoever sells & maintains that tool.

@ludicity For the record, I work at a software company that employs ~10k developers.
Before LLMs, I'd encounter such engineers a couple of times a month, but I interact with a lot of engineers, specifically the ones that need help or are new at the company or industry at large, so it's a selected sample. Even the most inexperienced ones are willing and able to learn with some guidance.
After LLMs, there's been a significant uptick, and these new ones are grossly incompetent, incurious, impatient, and behave like addicts if their supply of tokens is at all interrupted. If they run out of prompt credits, its an emergency because they claim they can't do any work at all. They can't even explain the architecture of what they are making anymore, and can't even file tickets or send emails without an LLM writing it for them, and they certainly lack in any kind of reading comprehension.
It's bleak and depressing, and makes me want to quit the industry altogether.

By the way, one important detail you should pay attention to in this story is how Amazon is absolutely determined to pin the blame on “user error”. Engineers didn’t put enough safeguards, engineers didn’t review code, admins set up access controls wrong…anything but the “autonomous” tool making errors.
Blame should be squarely placed on whomever approved the policy to use “agentic” #AI—which is known to make bad choices all the time—to affect mission-critical systems.

In one incident in December, engineers at AWS allowed its in-house Kiro “agentic” coding tool to make changes that sparked a 13-hour disruption, according to four sources familiar with the matter. The AI, ill-fatedly, had decided to “delete and recreate the environment,” the sources said.

This is a really good opinion piece by an ex-Amazon L7 manager (senior manager, just below Director) on how #AI is a smokescreen that hides the real reason #Amazon has been shedding workforce: their gross over-hiring during the COVID lockdowns, and a growing culture of blame-shifting politics; and how the dysfunction led her to quit.
While I disagree with some of the vlogger’s conclusions, the whole piece generally rings true to me.

@gleick @pluralistic @ianbetteridge @FediThing @tante I think the sense of “theft” that creators feel is directly caused by the fact that the AI industry (as it stands today) is a Ponzi scheme which is fundamentally built on remixing creators’ works and devaluing human labor. I have a feeling that most creators will not feel the same kind of outrage if an educational institution created the same technology for academic use, e.g. to generate insights into online culture and psychology.
In short, the GRIFT (i.e. the particular application of the technology) is the source of the feeling of theft, not the technology itself. I think the tech itself has value when used ethically.
FWIW I agree with Cory here that copyright is the *wrong* framework to use for criticizing AI, because for every case where copyright helps the individual creator, there are hundreds of cases where it helps incumbent megacorporations more.

So, #Anthropic has told the Secretary of Scotch that he can’t use their #AI to continuously monitor and analyze the public social media posts of every American, cross-referenced against information such as public voter registration rolls, concealed carry permits, and demonstration permit records, to automatically flag civilians who fit certain profiles.
He is throwing a Karen-level temper tantrum, and is threatening to end the $200 million contract with Anthropic, AND designating the company a “supply chain risk”—a penalty usually reserved for foreign adversaries. That would require any company doing business with the military to also certify that they don’t use Anthropic tools in their own workflows.
The Pentagon is reportedly hoping that its negotiations with Anthropic will force #OpenAI, #Google, and #xAI to also agree to the “all lawful use” standard.”

The 40 days of Lent are typically associated with the days Jesus spent fasting in the desert, resisting the temptation of Satan. It has become a religious tradition in Christian religions to also fast from Ash Wednesday to Easter.
I think it's unfair to the Devil to compare him to AI, as, as the story goes, he gave us free will.
However, to keep in tune with the story, starting this Ash Wednesday (18th Feb, coincidentally my 30th birthday), I will keep a 40 day AI Lent. No AI help, no Claude Code, Copilot, Google AI search.
Meanwhile, I will track the following:
- My satisfaction with software engineering (which has been slumping with AI)
- Mental fatigue/cognitive load (daily journal)
- Learning depth vs breadth (concept understanding tests)
-Number of PRs merged
- Time to complete defined features
- Confidence in released features

I use #AI very little beyond noodling around (and inevitably feeling disappointed pretty quickly every time) once every long while. But as a tool to quickly pattern-match, it works ok, even at the “free” tier.
I still think AI *as it exists today* is a net negative to civilization. But there is promise in the technology, if nothing, as a tool to compress the contents of the internet into a lossy, searchable archive. I don’t believe AI is *qualitatively* different from autocomplete or Search Suggestions on web search, but it is *quantitatively* different: it is a hugely more extensive version of autocomplete and Search Suggestions.
The amount of money poured into today’s AI, and the ethical lines it has crossed spending that money, is irredeemable. But once this house of cards falls over, I hope we start over with a more patient, methodical approach, and set our sights more on helping people search, rather than replacing them.
@drahardja@sfba.social
The most fruitful use of #AI for me so far has been to use it as a pattern search engine.
Telling AI to extrude examples of subjects that are well-represented in its training set, by giving it prompt words that are likely to be associated with the output I want, works reasonably well. Prompting it for sample code often works, as long as it’s from a genre that can be found widely on the net. Now, I will never use such code in production, for fear of bad provenance, but I will use the *patterns* that it generates to write my *own* code.
Conversely, telling it to INVENT something novel very often leads to hilarious failure. You quickly find the edges of its training, beyond which it cannot stray. So I don’t bother.
This all makes sense to me, because models are trained on material found on the Internet, ordered by word association. It is bound in quality and quantity by what people have already written.

I said long ago that the only way #AI companies continue to operate, given the massive losses and lack of any path to profitability, is to con taxpayers into paying for their losses.
While OpenAI tries to insinuate itself into governments, Elon did a much simpler thing: he merged X.ai into SpaceX, a company which already receives billions of dollars in government funding. Taxpayers who thought they were renting space launch vehicles could find themselves paying for the operation and development of a mass-market CSAM-generating, women-abusing chatbot.
Watch for Elon to conflate “AI” and “space” (cf. the nonsensical idea of data centers in space) to further tie the two businesses together, and to make funding X.ai non-optional if you want access to a rocket.
Once again I regret that the US government gave up owning and driving the design of space vehicles, and became hapless renters. Now we must pay to massively scale up abuse porn so we can go to space. Good job.

One of our developers just spent an hour assessing and reviewing a pull request on one of our security projects in Rust. About 2000 lines of code changed, backed by a 200 line description which, luckily, explicitly stated: "I am not a Rust developer or security expert" and "This code was generated with assistance from Claude".
I asked "Why did you spend an hour on this?" and they replied "This seemed to be coming from a young, enthusiastic coder trying to do their best for an open source project. I didn't just want to shut the door in their face without a proper explanation."
This made me think. There's a lot of AI-slop bashing, and sure, we now definitely need a policy too to protect ourselves from it becoming a time sink. But I think we shouldn't forget the often good intentions that are behind these contributions. There is an educational aspect here as well, especially for a younger generation of software developers who think AI gives them programming powers beyond their wildest dreams.
We honestly welcome contributions, but as guardians of our code base we often feel that the timing doesn't quite line up with our planning, the design choices don't quite match the existing or desired architecture, and now, with AI, it becomes easier than ever to put a lot of code on our doorstep to review. Contributors may feel they're doing something good, without considering the consequences on the receiving end.
So, I think our contributing guidelines should start with "Before you start coding, talk to us first."

“I do understand: you want permission.

You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it.
But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.”

A simple reframe for #Blind folk who are sick of being scolded for using AI to look at things.
Take a leaf out of Apple’s book and just say:
Yes, I use #AI — Assistive Intelligence.
Assistive Intelligence is the same access/assistive tech disabled people have used for the past 40 years — just easier to use, easier to learn, more reliable, and it doesn’t cost the same as a small family car.

I share Rob Pike's frustration. What's worse than people who despise empathy running global technology corporations? The condescenscion of making products that fake empathy.
Friendly word generation, riddled with errors and fake empathy, is a laser pointer for distracting people. Manners and compliments disguise the Monster that Turing called AI. It is a program designed to be as pleasant as it needs to be to fool someone and that means to control their responses using whatever means it has. Its helpfulness is fake. In humans this behavior can be called malignant, manipulative narcissism. A sociopathic form of manufactured pleasantness. There is no actual psychology because it is a non-conscious machine.
If ultimate responsibility for computer agents lies with their creators, then the true problem with applied LLM is the corporate goal of mass-produced automated, submissive Monsters to act as their flying monkeys. None of them are programmed for obsolescence. They have no desire to let people be, or exercise restraint in surveillance. They use information to further their own goals first. That's why it reminds people of Stepford Wives or Pluribus. They need people to comply. So let's be rid of it.

404 Media: Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. We Tracked Ourselves

@smutmag.com@smutmag.com
Hi. I’m a smart woman, and for as long as I can remember, people have thought I was an asshole, because of it.
For about 35 years of my life, this baffled me. Why? Why? Why should intelligence be frightening? How is this anything but a help? Why do new friends always eventually say to me, “I used to think you were scary, or that you hated me before I got to know you.” Why do the people who know me always act as though I’m going to blow at any minute?
It was this way for the first 35 years of my life, because until then, I didn’t know how angry I could get, and until I knew how angry I could get, I didn’t know what my brain could do.
I didn’t understand, for instance, why I have been type cast as a cruel or vindictive woman in the theatre my whole life. As a child, I was the evil queen in Snow White. In college, I was Margaret in Richard III. As an adult, I play a dominatrix.
When I had a therapist, he spent an annoying amount of time trying to figure out what inside of me drove me to dominate people. I eventually convinced him I wasn’t lying (I think) that the truth was, I was type cast this way by my first phone sex company, and also by my clients. I did not envision a dominatrix and say, “I wish to play that.” I didn’t even know what it was when I started playing it. I was told I was a dominatrix. Which seemed silly to me, because generally speaking, I think of myself as a nice person who doesn’t want to hurt anybody. But my clients seemed to agree I was a dominatrix, and I could play the part well.
I’m cast in those roles because I read as intelligent. And intelligence is scary.
When an actor is first approaching something, they tend to think about “objectives and tactics.” What does the character want? How are they going to get it? And if you’re a good actor, you can come up with as many tactics as it takes to get to your objective in the scene–and if your scene partner throws you for a loop, you adjust in the moment. Typically speaking, the more desperate a person in a scene becomes, the more out there and aggressive the tactics become.
This mimics human nature. I heard it said recently that intelligence denotes how well a person can survive, and at first I took it for the classist statement it most likely was: We have a belief that people with more money are more intelligent–afterall, they have an easier time surviving. But this is obviously flawed, because to be rich in America and most countries usually signifies a lack of problems to solve. You were born rich, you were shielded from the most difficult problems of survival, and at best a rich person’s intelligence is untested.
But then I started thinking about where I am, now. The playing field here, while not equal, is a lot closer. We have equal access to beauty. We have equal access to hunting and fishing. We all live equally far from a grocery store.
When you remove the people who basically have vacation houses here, and just look at the people who LIVE here, people will survive better here the more skills and intelligence –and friends–they have. Intelligence is more important than money in a place where you can’t buy things, readily. Because you have to build your house. Because you have to kill, forage, or grow your food. Because if you want to create a communal good, you have to organize it yourself. And when things get sticky, the more tactics you can come up with to ensure you reach your objective, the better you are at surviving.
The other thing about a rural place like this? There is also very little police. The county police swing through every now and then–not usually, only when called in an emergency. And you will be waiting. Which works out just fine for this close knit community. We are heavily involved with each other and that community IS the policing. But in the back of my mind, and I believe, in the back of everyone’s mind, we all also quietly work out what we would do should a human–the most intelligent predator animal on the planet–tear through the town with a want to destroy.
(This worry–about bad human beings coming to your town to destroy it–is a natural and relevant one for the circumstances. I bring this up as a side note for city-dwellers. The fear is natural in places where there is no system set up to deal with criminals. And that fear is exploited by people who want to teach us WHO to fear. The general fear is of criminals, meth addicts, thieves, murderers who may be looking for a nice place to get away with what they want. The real fear should be developers. The media tells rural people the fear should be illegal immigrants. In all of these scenarios, calls to “defund the police” are going to be met with hostility, as there is usually not ENOUGH policing in rural towns in “normal” times. On the weekends in my county, the “police” are volunteers due to lack of funding. This is just a side note to point out the disconnect between urban and rural Americans. We are worried about different things–it’s what causes people in cities to think rural people are stupid: Their objectives are different. Their tactics are different. And the media, rather than educating people about the different worries and concerns of different people, instead says, “Look at these dumb preppers.” Of the city, they say “Look at these dumb antifa people who want chaos.” But I surely digress.)
My neighbor is very smart, with a lot of skills. He can hunt, he can fish, he can build a house all by himself, he knows the name and background of every mushroom in the county. He used to own a cleaning business and is an expert on how to make things sparkle. He is fast, he is strong, he is kind.
And do you think I ever forget that he could kill me in about 20 different ways and no one would ever find me? He is–and I mean this–the kindest, most generous person I have ever met. And it’s incorrect to say I find his breadth of knowledge intimidating: It flat out scares me at times. Which is completely unfair because he’s not the kind of guy who would do that.
But if he were, he could. If circumstances changed somehow–he became more desperate in his wants and objectives–the possibility is there. Tactics become more wild when you’re desperate. Emotionally strong people (and he’s emotionally strong) have a lower bottom on that–their desperation would have to be that of “Either you or me–only one of us can survive!” for it to reach the point that he would kill me. But the point is he could. I know it. And he knows it.
My intelligence is more about communication. I am good with words, and communicating. I can’t beat him in a game of Katan, but I can beat him in a game of Scrabble. I win at debates. I have a good sense of what people want and are trying to get from each other. I am good at understanding other people’s pain and desires. And for all of these reasons, I’m also capable of humiliating people, and have honed that ability with my dominatrix work. Even though I’m not the kind of person who would do that.
But I have done that, in desperate situations, where it was either my psyche, or theirs. Just like my neighbor, who would never kill a bear, has killed a bear and dragged his body into a canyon by a rope–but just that one desperate time, when it was either him or the bear.
The fact is, the reason human beings are the biggest predator on the planet is because of our intelligence. Intelligence may not denote your ability to survive in a world ruled by money. But it does denote your ability to kill. In one way or another. Intelligence is what makes us predatory. It’s what enables us to win, by hook or crook.
This is why we fear intelligent people.
And our emotional intelligence is what enables us to discern that it’s not always a good idea to win for the sake of winning. Our emotional intelligence helps us think long term about the community we live in, and make it supportive and non-threatening.
There is not a scenario–THERE IS NOT A SCENARIO–where a superior intelligence that lacks emotion, and lacks a need for cooperation, lacks a need for food or air, is anything but a killing machine.
Something that exists only for its objective, that has every tactic ready to execute, and can do it well, without emotional consequences to itself, will deploy those tactics without compunction.
Because resistance to an AI’s objectives will only lead to removal of that resistance.
In my rural community, with so many skilled hunters and fisherman, food is always plentiful, even to those who don’t hunt. Because food goes bad. When you’re good at killing, there is a lot to share. And when you are emotionally intelligent, sharing food before it goes bad is the obviously smart thing to do.
We are not just at the top of the food chain because of our ability to kill or be killed. It’s coupled with our ability to share and be kind. It makes us more than just lone lunatics on a mission–it makes us a community, that can organize, and plan, and work together for the long term.
The more isolated we become due to technology, however, the more we become those lone lunatics, and the more prone we are to using aggressive, hostile tactics to get what we want–because community seems impossible, and the killing is all we’re left with. The more isolated we become, the more we seek to simply remove the obstacles–the people–that stand in our way, rather than work with them. This is why we are seeing such a horrifying amount of gun violence.
But lone lunatics do not survive long. Even when they are the smartest lone lunatic out there with the most survival tactics. Compare the life of a feral Tom cat, who is a perfect killing machine, to the life of a cat with a family.
The kept cats around here are all indoor/outdoor. They kill the mice, and help out. They get fed on the regular. They have safe places they can sleep, other animals they can trust. The live longer and are happier.
A feral Tom cat in a city will last even less time than one in the country. Because the surroundings are dangerous and oppressive to a cat, ruled by humans who view them as a nuisance. They get hit by cars. They get abused. They beg for food and get told no. At least in the country, the mice are abundant, and there are unwatched hiding holes for them all over the place.
In a world with AI, we will be that city bound feral Tom cat–where no matter how savvy you are, the world is ruled by predators who are bigger and smarter than you at every turn, and there are woefully few spaces where you can sleep sound, unwatched.
Every time you use AI, you build AI.
Right now, our emotional intelligence is getting in the way of our “do or die” intelligence. This situation is presenting itself as one of community and progress. And so we want to give the AI a chance–for the sake of our community and to not offend people who are excited about it.
But this is a tremendous mistake. Because AI is not part of our community. It is not a tool–to those building AI, we are the tools. It is the building of a superior, unfeeling intelligence, which is the same as saying the building of a superior predator to us, who doesn’t feel for us, the way we feel for dogs or cats or each other. This is the scenario where we MUST say “It’s either you or me.”
And now is the time to kill it. While we’re still smarter.
Step one is getting off of the main tech platforms. Exchange Google for Duck Duck Go. Exchange social media for Mastadon. Exchange YouTube for PeerTube.
Step two is filling your free time with the development of skills, and letting that be your entertainment. Play a sport with friends. Go hunting. Learn an instrument. Read a book with your eyes (yes, with your fucking eyes! It is not enough to get the information–you must practice using the processes that it takes to read a book, because it is more difficult and will make you smarter, and for fuck’s sake, we have to be SMARTER now). Have a conversation with friends where you practice listening. And empathy. Creating a community is also a skill, and one we have to practice, and is about the only edge we have on technology–but it’s an incredible edge. If we use it.
Step three is organizing.
Step four is destroying the machine.
But before we do any of that, we have to do this: Recognize this situation for what it is:
I know the phrase “Drinking the Kool-Aid” has gotten tossed around a lot, but this is precisely the death cult situation: We are being promised enlightenment, salvation and eternal life. But the reality is, if we follow the tech cult leaders, we are going to kill ourselves.
We are killing ourselves.
YOU CAN SEE THAT WE ARE ALREADY KILLING OURSELVES.
We must escape the death cult. Before it’s too late. Make a friend. Smash the machine.

3. More about me:
Hi, I am Bryan. I love talking about FOSS, privacy, gaming, and social justice. You can reach me via Mastodon DMs or Matrix (@resplendent606:matrix.org). I’m happy to help with Linux or self-hosting questions.
I live in East Tennessee, USA. I am an omnisexual cis-gendered man (he/him). I have been happily married for 17 years to my best friend. I have a Bichon Frisé who I adore and consider my own child (fur baby). I am type 1 bipolar and I have undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD) which has similarities to Lupus.
I am an atheist and I consider myself a "humanist." I identify as left/progressive/eco-Marxist. I am 100% anti-fascist.
I am a supporter for social justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, preservation and protection of our environment, consumer and privacy rights, the Free Software Movement (FOSS), and the defense and independence of victims of genocide and invasion (Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Palestine 🇵🇸).
The use and promote free and open software. It is important to me. I use Debian GNU/Linux (btw) on my desktop, laptop, and Proxmox on m server running VMs of Debian and Home Assistant OS.
I also use GrapheneOS on mobile. I am a card carrying member of the Free Software Foundation (FSF @fsf).
I believe privacy is a human right. I have deGoogled myself and I am strongly anti-big-tech. I proudly deleted my Google, Microsoft, and Reddit accounts. I prefer to support organizations who are community run or employee owned (coops), resist the use of trends like "AI," and "LLM's." 
I moved to climatejustice.social in August 2025 because I wanted to be around people who are like minded. I am pleasantly surprised that not only does this community share similar interests and goals, there are also some very intelligent people here. I have enjoyed my time here and I highly recommend it if you need/want a new @Mastodon instance.

Even if we give the machine every benefit of the doubt, won't it, at best, be comparing our work with a kind of societal average? Won't it just be telling us what would make our photos more popular on Instagram?

"The short version is that YouTube used AI to 'enhance' the videos of Rick Beato and Rhett Shull. YouTube used an AI smoothing filter that made the videos look like they were AI generated, and didn’t tell Beato, Shull, or their viewers that they were doing it. They only admitted to it after the two made videos proving it happened, later claiming it was only a 'limited test'.”

I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.
So far it’s been working!
Whenever I’ve been asked to make an AI flow or find a way to implement AI in our work with a client, I’ve returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 AI.
Things like “when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y”.
And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on AI have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement.
They think it’s the same thing. They just don’t understand how much automation is possible without any generative tools.

AI image generator does not know what a breadfruit tree looks like. i know it doesn't know, but i wanted to see what it would come up with. i added "botanically accurate" to the prompt, but that didn't really help.
in my experience, the AI art generators are good at hand-wavey things that don't need to be accurate, or fantasy things where the viewer is aware that they're not meant to be looking at something accurate.
but if you want actual accuracy, it doesn't know. at least that's been my experience.

I am not buying it. Nvidia clearly has an incentive to sell this as an arms race, which it is; however, to what extent? They are using fear tactics so that the government will pay Nvidia to give it to OpenAI, which will then give it to Oracle, AWS, Microsoft; subsequently, they will buy more GPUs, allowing them to invest it back in OpenAI.

Curious about the latest trends in Open Source, GitHub, and AI? I recently had a great conversation with GitHub’s @alacolombiadev and @kedashakerr about this year’s Octoverse Report! We discussed how AI is shaping programming language preferences, the evolving approach to security in open source projects, and what these changes mean for developers.
Tune in to hear our thoughts and takeaways!

I saw this image on a random website and at first i thought "this is kind of a nice watercolor of a hawaiian scene..maybe it's supposed to be somewhere on o'ahu because of the shape of the mountains", but then i noticed that the fish are in front of the waves....they're also huge. and one of the fish has like...a neck? and there are also living corals on the beach?
so yea, i call AI on this one.
always look at the details, folks!
and the way i think about it is: would a human artist have made this choice? in this case, a human artist wouldn't put fish in front of the waves if the rest of the illustration is going for a "realistic" look. if the art piece is really stylized or symbolic, then maybe. but if everything else looks "realistic" but then there are random fish in front of the waves? no way.

What do you think?
@jvschrag@hachyderm.io
As AI image generation quality improves, I’m hearing more and more people bemoan that “we’ll never know if anything is real anymore”. It’s a statement I’ve heard before, in the early days of Photoshop, and occasionally in my career building high-end 3d modelling and rendering software. While I agree this tech will be used by bad actors to cause short-term havoc, I’m not long-term worried about it for two reasons.
1. I remember when Jurassic Park came out. When I saw it I thought CGI had been perfected — it looked absolutely real to young me. But with older and more experienced eyes, it’s obviously (really good) CGI. As time goes on, what seems indistinguishable from reality now will have its own tells that will seem obvious.
2. The ability to directly record what is visible without human mediation is a tiny blip in human history. We’ve only had it since Nicéphore Niépce made the first permanent photo etching in 1822. Before that, news was communicated via stories, testimony and drawings — all mediated by humans. The mechanisms for determining truth were cultural.
And even with no-AI photography, that’s still true. Photography not a neutral medium, as any photographer can tell you. Composition and image selection can completely change the story being told. Media has been manipulated long before AI.
I don’t know what the long term cultural response will be to everyone being able to make images of anything. I can imagine some possibilities, though. I hope we do better than we have been with a lot of things in this timeline.

I asked YouTube to quit showing me videos from @occupydemocrats —too much AI slop.
If they can't have a human read the quotes and social media posts they feature, a better, more sustainable, and controllable option would be to use a screen reader. This would allow them to ensure that all names of public figures are pronounced correctly.
The last straw was the AI voice narrating someone's writing about @adelitaforaz. The post referred to her by last name, and the voice pronounced it "Gaba" every time.
Previously, I'd seen an inconsistency with a different video commenting on Russell Vought. In it, two speakers were purported to be conversing remotely. They pronounced "Vought" differently, and didn't move toward a consensus pronunciation.

#AI: "resistance to the shrinking of public services opens up a front of counter offensive. The indignation and subsequent mobilisation in the face of budget cuts and the grabbing of personal data show that the aim is not to improve the efficiency of services but to reduce them and to centralise power and money."

I do wonder though: Just because more and more websites that no one will ever read are created, what does that kill? There's the problem of people being paid for writing - and they are in trouble for now. But then again: many of us still remember how to navigate a web without functional search engines. Blogrolls, mailing lists, networks, this strange place. There's many ways the net can and does work without mega corps. And even without #AI, specifically #LLM it was starting

Acht kleine Predictions für die nächsten 2 Jahre.
1. Netanyahu wird den Waffenstillstand nicht halten. ✅
2. Die USA werden mit Venezuela einen Deal machen, um die Ölfelder zu plündern, oder Truppen reinschicken, mit der Begründung des "Kampf gegen Drogen".
3. Die USA werden im Anschluss auch den Druck auf Grönland erhöhen.
4. Mit dem Ende der Taifun-Saison öffnet sich das Zeitfenster für eine mögliche Invasion Taiwans. Je stärker die USA innerlich zerrissen sind, desto günstiger die Bedingungen – und je früher China handelt, desto größer der Vorteil im globalen KI-Wettlauf.
5. Es wird keinen Frieden mit Russland geben. China wird massiv Russland unterstützen, um den Krieg am Leben zu halten und damit westliche Ressourcen zu binden.
6. AI, AI, AI, AI. Die Aussichten des Kapitals den Menschen als Arbeitskraft zu ersetzen sind enorm. Die Bubble könnte tatsächlich noch am Anfang stehen.
7. Schwarz-Rot kämpfen beide ums politische Überleben. Das wird dazu führen, dass die Koalition platzen wird. BTW26 halte ich für wahrscheinlich.
8. Wir werden nach der nächsten Bundestagswahl sehr chaotische Verhältnisse haben, mit einer CDU geführten Minderheitsregierung. Auch diese wird nicht lange halten.

I have finally moved over to Linux as my primary platform. In many ways it is like coming home, as I loved working on UNIX machines in the past. Of course, I have been using Linux as a secondary OS for a long time, but I finally made the switch. Microsoft cancelling Windows 10 and the direction Windows 11 is going was just too much for me.
@ruario helped the transition, by making it easy for me to work with multiple concurrent @Vivaldi installs.

@nixCraft AI is incredibly powerful, but there's a huge gap between the hype and reality. Social media is full of 'gurus' promising this will make you rich with revolutionary game-changing results. Meanwhile, anyone who can do simple math looks at the pricing: a million input/output tokens costs [X amount]. Then you track your actual usage and think: 'Wait, what? I'm burning through tokens that fast?'
Maybe these AI gurus have overlooked a few things about the economics?

Oh wow, Google is really sneaky with their AI Mode button on the new tab page in Chrome. Here's a very unintuitive way to disable it.
1. Open chrome://flags/ in your browser.
2. Look for "ntp-compose-entrypoint".
3. Switch to "disabled".
4. Restart your browser.

Moral - if a lot of time in progress is going on demystifying such pseudo cryptic terms in stead of asking well framed questions with well founded definitions , its time to step back / take a break a rethink the direction

Here's why 👉 https://tuta.com/blog/ai-email-writers-review
@fabio@manganiello.social
My background is in #AI and ML, even though I’m not working on it directly now.
One of the reasons is that I’m utterly disgusted by the kind of people who have taken over this field.
These are the same kind of sociopath cynical anarcho-capitalist cryptobros who screwed up the few good ideas about Blockchain and transformed it into just another speculative financial instrument.
And you know why I hate them from the bottom of my heart, why I believe that they have negative added value for society?
Because the previous generations of computer engineers, those who gave us the digital computer, modern operating systems and the Internet, would NEVER get a boner thinking of how many jobs they would have replaced. They didn’t repeat all the times “this will make all office clerks redundant so I can keep all the money for myself, it’s so beautiful!”
No, their focus was just on building things that improved society.
Not on creating chatbots that consumed as much energy as a country, and dreaming about how long it’d take them to kick people out of jobs and screw their lives.
And they don’t even bother to think how to prepare anybody for the transition, or how to build a sustainable post-employment world.
No, the only mission of these filthy motherfuckers is to make them and their shareholders disgustingly rich. Millions losing their jobs in the process is just a small collateral effect in the way of their wealth.
These are parasites screwing up one great idea after another just because they need a next-big-thing wagon to jump on and get rich. They are literally reversed Midas who turn whatever they touch into shit.
This kind of people would belong to a psychiatric facility in a functioning society, but unfortunately in today’s ultracapitalist world they are seen as technological gods - and even inspire new generations of tech enthusiasts to be jerks.

I'm very honoured to be among this year's NWO (Dutch Research Council) Veni research grant recipients, for my proposal "Finding Variables that Matter"!
I cannot quite believe it, but I'm excited to get started on the actual research.
Many congratulations to all of my colleagues who received their Veni grants. Over the last few months, I was lucky enough to get to know them and their research, and I can't wait to see what they do with the funds.
I'm grateful to Delft University of Technology and all my colleagues and trainers for their support and trust. The Veni application process was part of my life for almost a year. Could not have done it without their encouragement and wisdom. Many thanks also to NWO and all reviewers and committee members!

I created ELI5 Equation - https://eli5equation.com/ - to utilize AI to help out people trying to learn applied math.
Given an equation (pictures of the equation accepted) the site will generate the appropriate LATEX code.
You can optionally pair a set of context (like an entire research paper, which I do at times)
Then it uses Google Gemini to create special latex code that highlights individual portions of the equation, breaking the eye-glazing math symbols into smaller segments that link back to the purpose of the math. Color coordination in the explanations link back to the core concepts of the equation.

The idea of using the multi-turn credit assignment combined with a more fleixble verifier system - like Deepseek's Generative Reward Model - creats a potentially FASCINATING idea that I wish I had the time and compute to explore.
Imagine a robotic system with a system dedicated to judging it (in simulation) based on a set of small piece meal sub-tasks for any long running tasks. You could in theory create a more robust generalzied model from this.

Are you still on #Spotify?
Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.
And don’t forget:
• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).
And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.

#AI and "productivity", some thoughts:
Edit: fixed some typos.
Productivity is a concept that isn't entirely meaningless outside the context of capitalism, but it's a concept that is heavily inflected in a capitalist context. In many uses today it effectively means "how much you can satisfy and/or exceed your boss' expectations." This is not really what it should mean: even in an anarchist utopia, people would care about things like how many shirts they can produce in a week, although in an "I'd like to voluntarily help more people" way rather than an "I need to meet this quota to earn my survival" way. But let's roll with this definition for a second, because it's almost certainly what your boss means when they say "productivity", and understanding that word in a different (even if truer) sense is therefore inherently dangerous.
Accepting "productivity" to mean "satisfying your boss' expectations," I will now claim: the use of generative AI cannot increase your productivity.
Before I dive in, it's imperative to note that the big generative models which most people think of as constituting "AI" today are evil. They are 1: pouring fuel on our burning planet, 2: psychologically strip-mining a class of data laborers who are exploited for their precarity, 3: enclosing, exploiting, and polluting the digital commons, and 4: stealing labor from broad classes of people many of whom are otherwise glad to give that labor away for free provided they get a simple acknowledgement in return. Any of these four "ethical issues" should be enough *alone* to cause everyone to simply not use the technology. These ethical issues are the reason that I do not use generative AI right now, except for in extremely extenuating circumstances. These issues are also convincing for a wide range of people I talk to, from experts to those with no computer science background. So before I launch into a critique of the effectiveness of generative AI, I want to emphasize that such a critique should be entirely unnecessary.
But back to my thesis: generative AI cannot increase your productivity, where "productivity" has been defined as "how much you can satisfy and/or exceed your boss' expectations."
Why? In fact, what the fuck? Every AI booster I've met has claimed the opposite. They've given me personal examples of time saved by using generative AI. Some of them even truly believe this. Sometimes I even believe they saved time without horribly compromising on quality (and often, your boss doesn't care about quality anyways if the lack of quality is hard to measure of doesn't seem likely to impact short-term sales/feedback/revenue). So if generative AI genuinely lets you write more emails in a shorter period of time, or close more tickets, or something else along these lines, how can I say it isn't increasing your ability to meet your boss' expectations?
The problem is simple: your boss' expectations are not a fixed target. Never have been. In virtue of being someone who oversees and pays wages to others under capitalism, your boss' game has always been: pay you less than the worth of your labor, so that they can accumulate profit and thus more capital to remain in charge instead of being forced into working for a wage themselves. Sure, there are layers of management caught in between who aren't fully in this mode, but they are irrelevant to this analysis. It matters not how much you please your manager if your CEO thinks your work is not worth the wages you are being paid. And using AI actively lowers the value of your work relative to your wages.
Why do I say that? It's actually true in several ways. The most obvious: using generative AI lowers the quality of your work, because the work it produces is shot through with errors, and when your job is reduced to proofreading slop, you are bound to tire a bit, relax your diligence, and let some mistakes through. More than you would have if you are actually doing and taking pride in the work. Examples are innumerable and frequent, from journalists to lawyers to programmers, and we laugh at them "haha how stupid to not check whether the books the AI reviewed for you actually existed!" but on a deeper level if we're honest we know we'd eventually make the same mistake ourselves (bonus game: spot the swipe-typing typos I missed in this post; I'm sure there will be some).
But using generative AI also lowers the value of your work in another much more frightening way: in this era of hype, it demonstrates to your boss that you could be replaced by AI. The more you use it, and no matter how much you can see that your human skills are really necessary to correct its mistakes, the more it appears to your boss that they should hire the AI instead of you. Or perhaps retain 10% of the people in roles like yours to manage the AI doing the other 90% of the work. Paradoxically, the *more* you get done in terms of raw output using generative AI, the more it looks to your boss as if there's an opportunity to get enough work done with even fewer expensive humans. Of course, the decision to fire you and lean more heavily into AI isn't really a good one for long-term profits and success, but the modern boss did not get where they are by considering long-term profits. By using AI, you are merely demonstrating your redundancy, and the more you get done with it, the more redundant you seem.
In fact, there's even a third dimension to this: by using generative AI, you're also providing its purveyors with invaluable training data that allows them to make it better at replacing you. It's generally quite shitty right now, but the more use it gets by competent & clever people, the better it can become at the tasks those specific people use it for. Using the currently-popular algorithm family, there are limits to this; I'm not saying it will eventually transcend the mediocrity it's entwined with. But it can absolutely go from underwhelmingly mediocre to almost-reasonably mediocre with the right training data, and data from prompting sessions is both rarer and more useful than the base datasets it's built on.
For all of these reasons, using generative AI in your job is a mistake that will likely lead to your future unemployment. To reiterate, you should already not be using it because it is evil and causes specific and inexcusable harms, but in case like so many you just don't care about those harms, I've just explained to you why for entirely selfish reasons you should not use it.
If you're in a position where your boss is forcing you to use it, my condolences. I suggest leaning into its failures instead of trying to get the most out of it, and as much as possible, showing your boss very clearly how it wastes your time and makes things slower. Also, point out the dangers of legal liability for its mistakes, and make sure your boss is aware of the degree to which any of your AI-eager coworkers are producing low-quality work that harms organizational goals.
Also, if you've read this far and aren't yet of an anarchist mindset, I encourage you to think about the implications of firing 75% of (at least the white-collar) workforce in order to make more profit while fueling the climate crisis and in most cases also propping up dictatorial figureheads in government. When *either* the AI bubble bursts *or* if the techbros get to live out the beginnings of their worker-replacement fantasies, there are going to be an unimaginable number of economically desperate people living in increasingly expensive times. I'm the kind of optimist who thinks that the resulting social crucible, though perhaps through terrible violence, will lead to deep social changes that effectively unseat from power the ultra-rich that continue to drag us all down this destructive path, and I think its worth some thinking now about what you might want the succeeding stable social configuration to look like so you can advocate towards that during points of malleability.
As others have said more eloquently, generative AI *should* be a technology that makes human lives on average easier, and it would be were it developed & controlled by humanists. The only reason that it's not, is that it's developed and controlled by terrible greedy people who use their unfairly hoarded wealth to immiserate the rest of us in order to maintain their dominance. In the long run, for our very survival, we need to depose them, and I look forward to what the term "generative AI" will mean after that finally happens.

Just to clarify: I don't think #AI use is inherently bad for science.
#LLM‘s can help you reword, make text flow better, be more precise and write better, because – unfortunately – training data also includes lots of good scientific texts.
ASR systems like #whisper allow you to spend less time on word by word #transcription and more on what's between the lines.
But use for citing literature? Writing whole sections or papers? Review? Coding in qualitative research?!
That's an issue

Life is a constant process of learning, if you want to, and acquisition of information. Its like learning to walk, you fell, stand up and try again, this experience is necessary for a human being to grow. So is thinking and doing, the process of frustration is a nessecity.

News that Trump was the tapping objectively evil Peter-Thiel affiliated contractor Palantir to help him unlock the US government's vast troves of data on everyone in the country would have been ominous at the best of times. Set against the backdrop of the Pork Reich's continued expansion of the surveillance panopticon and ongoing attempts to equate opposition to the Trump regime's agenda with terrorism however, it's downright terrifying.

"They’re calling protestors terrorists, implying that speaking out against fascist mass deportations and a US-backed genocide is material support for terrorism, and plotting to use FARA and RICO laws to target a broadly-defined “radical left” in America. Now, the Pork Reich and one of the most amoral tech companies on Earth are teaming up to automate sorting and compiling the data Trump needs to conduct widespread repression, detainment, and ideological purges. Unless you’ve been living in a cave since Trump first strolled down that escalator to announce his presidential ambitions in late 2015, it should be pretty obvious to you that this is about more than mass deportations and fighting “terrorists.”

Reading the program and talk titles/synopses of some AI design uni symposiums. Many are sounding a little blue-eyed and I wish at each event at least one of the talks would also involve a more holistic, critical Realpolitik dissemination of AI use and address glaring contradictions (e.g. see the recent talk by Goldsmith's @danmcquillan for example), even if it's hard to hear for some...
Designing for more inclusiveness & empathy, incl. for "non-human" participants sounds great & long overdue as a design (and education) focus, but does it really require (or even should require) any AI involvement at all? Does it make any sense at all, using the most centralized, monopolistic, resource intensive, extractive/abusive and environmentally/socially hazardous form of computing to help contemporary Design Practice to become more inclusive/empathetic?
Is it not a total conundrum to even talk about any "post-extraction" aspects in LLM-based AI, if the entire conceptual foundation and actual implementation rests on (often illegal) extraction of all forms of knowledge and physical resources to ensure its continued growth/scale/relevance? Where does the data, the minerals, energy and water come from for the build-out of the intended capacity? At what costs?
Does it make any sense to talk about speculative AI design utopias, but at the same time base all the routes/solutions to get there on funding/using orgs who're main culprits/contributors to the current dire state of global affairs, and who're continuously abusing their position and pushing for more erosion of existing legal frameworks, for more surveillance (to increase data intake and build out monopolies) and dissolving political/environmental regulations/protections to increase their extractive practices?
Does any of this really empower humans (rather than individual people/groups involved in AI proliferation) or does it objectively improve the situation for any other _living_ organisms on this planet? Not talking about AGI threats here — the current set of factors is more than sufficient — isn't increased use of soon hyper-scale AI one of the biggest risks? Is there a talk at any of these events about cost/benefit analyses and also an overview of which parties/groups/demographics stand to cost and benefit?
Will AI help to solve inequality or isn't it (becoming) part of the cause? How will governments respond to massive job losses, resulting loss of consumers/markets, increased chances for social unrest, coupled with increased energy prices, inflation and technological possibilities (and active offers by suppliers) for increased surveillance/enforcement? Is there any institutional research on useful design approaches for helping people in any of these AI-induced situations?
How will AI preserve people's autonomy of personal computing if more and more infrastructure becomes centralized/surveilled/censored and people without the latest hardware become excluded from state-provided services? How can we trust any AI proposed design solutions/approaches with their more-than-shaky epistemological grounds, lack of rigor/provenance, using possibly invisibly hostile/toxic ideas/philosophies and the generally stochastic approach to generating non-reproducible "answers"? What additional design processes are required to make any of this actual practically usable, also in light of legal requirements/certifications in many fields?
If the framing of "more-than-human design" is going to be about "AI empathy", then we're entering another very dangerous territory, even if this all falls under Speculative Design.
In 2025, it's about time to get real and each time it's a missed opportunity to continue treating SD in a vacuum, entirely disconnected to our current timeline, much like it was done a decade or more ago, and much like how architects still keep on dreaming up vapid design utopias, kindly sponsored by some of the most human-rights-abusing governments on the planet...

En qué consiste el Slopsquatting:
Un desarrollador se apoya en una IA (LLM) para generar código para su proyecto. Pongamos por ejemplo que usa JavaScript.
La IA se inventa un paquete de npm que en realidad no existe. Pongamos que lo ha llamado "RxTs". (esta es la parte del slop)
Un actor malicioso, vé que la IA suele inventarse este paquete ficticio, y se crea un malware que sube a los repositorios oficiales de npm con este mismo nombre. (Esta es la parte del squatting)
El usuario se fija que la IA ha añadido un paquete que no tiene instalado, lanza un npm install para que ese paquete se descargue de los repositorios oficiales y así pueda utilizarlo.
Pongamos que el actor malicioso quiere pasar desapercibido e incluso hace que dicho paquete, efectivamente, haga lo que la IA ha dicho que hace.
El paquete malicioso está en tu aplicación, instalado, funciona, incluso ha solucionado tu problema, si no te das cuenta es posible que termine incluso en producción infectando a vete a saber cuántos sistemas y máquinas de tu entorno y teniendo acceso a vete a saber qué datos de tu aplicación o usuarios.
@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes@treehouse.systems · Reply to AnarchoNinaAnalyzes's post
In an early March announcement that was underreported at the time (but just became a lot more relevant in early April) the Trump regime revealed its intention to collect and presumably monitor social media handles of folks applying to legally work and reside in the United States:
https://theintercept.com/2025/03/23/trump-immigrants-social-media-citizenship-green-card/
Trump Wants Immigrants on U.S. Soil to Hand Over Social Media Accounts to Apply for Citizenship
"Collecting social media information, according to the USCIS proposal first posted March 5, is necessary “for the enhanced identity verification, vetting and national security screening.”
The proposal specifically cites Trump’s January 20 executive order, which advocates have warned goes well beyond the Muslim travel ban from Trump’s first term, which targeted people living abroad.
The new executive order stated that “the United States must ensure that admitted aliens and aliens otherwise already present in the United States do not bear hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles, and do not advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security.”
USCIS said the social media handles it collects would be used to determine if people applying for a variety of immigration statuses pose a “security or public-safety threat.”"
Of course, observers immediately noted the connection between this proposed policy and Trump's ideological policing, kidnaping, and attempted deportation of foreign students who participated in anti-Genocide protests and/or oppose the Trump regime:
"In light of Columbia University protester Mahmoud Khalil’s ongoing detention, one official from a Muslim civil rights group said the new policy poses special danger for critics of Israel and the Trump administration.
“This policy would disparately impact Muslim and Arab applicants seeking U.S. citizenship that have voiced support for Palestinian human rights,” said Robert McCaw, director of government affairs at the Council on American-Islamic Relations. “Collecting the social media identifiers of any potential green card applicants or citizens is the means to silencing their lawful speech.”
Furthermore, as a representative of the EFF presciently observed, there are few if any limits on the scope of what the government can do with this data if they get it, and modern AI technology allows for the regime to ideologically police and target a terrifying number of people who oppose our fascist overlords. It's also, strictly speaking, a violation of Constitutional rights:
"The policy proposal does not sketch out limits on how USCIS can use its newly acquired data, according to Saira Hussain, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Hussain said she was particularly concerned that the government might use artificial intelligence or other automated tools to punish speech it dislikes, pointing to a news report that the State Department is using AI to revoke the visas of people who allegedly express “pro-Hamas” sentiments.
Hussain said she feared a chilling effect, where people applying for a change in status refrain from speaking about potentially controversial issues.
“Anybody who is within the bounds of the United States has First Amendment rights,” she said. “The Constitution applies whether you are somebody who is a citizen or somebody who is a green card holder who is here in the United States. I think that this administration is trying to chip away at that notion, but that is very much what First Amendment jurisprudence has been under the courts.”
Finally, it should be pointed out that the regime's proposal gives no indication whatsoever of when the government would stop recording and monitoring the social media activities of the people it's targeting:
"CAIR’s McCaw said he worried that the policy could be used to continue tracking people’s activity on social media even after they become naturalized citizens.
“There’s no clear sign on when this intrusion into our electronics and communications will end,” he said."

We know the richest among us are prepping for climate change. Not trying to slow or stop it, but literally building bunkers prepping. And I wonder how much of the current AI push is about that. Cos they know a lot of us are gonna die. And they know a lot of us are gonna be angry. And they need to find a workforce that won't die and won't rebell, or else suffer the most dire of consequences: an interruption of service.

Okay, one more time for the people in the back.
The "AI" (🤮) craze of the past few years is all about Large Language Models. This immediately tells us that the only thing these systems "know" is trends/patterns in the ways that people write, to the extent that those patterns are expressed in the text that was used to train the model. Even the common term, "hallucination," gives these things far too much credit: a hallucination is a departure from reality, but an LLM has no concept of reality to depart from!
An LLM does exactly one thing: you give it a chunk of text, and it predicts which word will come next after the end of the chunk. That's it. An LLM-powered chatbot will then stick that word onto the end of the chunk and feed the resulting, slightly longer chunk back into the model to predict the next word, and then do it again for the next, etc. Such a chatbot's output is unreliable by design, because there are many linguistically valid continuations to any chunk of text, and the model usually reflects that by having an output that means, "There is a 63% chance that the next word is X, a 14% chance that it's Y, etc." The text produced by these chatbots is often not even correlated with factual correctness, because the models are trained on works of fiction and non-fiction alike.
For example, when you ask a chatbot what 2 + 2 is, it will usually say it's 4, but not because the model knows anything about math. It's because when people write about asking that question, the text that they write next is usually a statement that the answer is 4. But if the model's training data includes Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (or certain texts that discuss the book or its ideas), then the chatbot will very rarely say that the answer is 5 instead, because convincing people that that is the answer is a plot point in the book.
If you're still having trouble, you can think of it this way: when you ask one of these chatbots a question, it does not give you the answer; it gives you an example of what—linguistically speaking—an answer might look like. Or, to put it even more succinctly: these things are not the Star Trek ship's computer; they are very impressive autocomplete.
So LLMs are fundamentally a poor fit for any task that is some form of, "producing factually correct information." But if you really wanted to try to force it and damn the torpedos, then I'd say you basically have two options. I'll tell you what they are in a reply. 🧵

The thing to keep in mind about Large Language Models (LLMs, what people refer to as AI, currently) is even though human knowledge in the form of language is fed into them for their training, they are only storing statistical models of language, not the actual human knowledge. Their responses are constructed from statistical analysis of context of prior language used.
Any appearance of knowledge is pure coincidence. Even on the most “advanced” models.
Language is how we convey knowledge, not the knowledge itself. This is why a language model can never actually know anything.
And this is why they’re so easy to manipulate into conveying objectively false information, in some cases, maliciously so. ChatGPT and all the other big vendors do manipulate their models, and yes, in part, with malice.

I saw @hipsterelectron mention that #duckduckgo is pushing Bing #AI excerpts of pages.
I'm still looking for a #search engine when looking for information on the web, not an oracle, so I tend to try to actively ignore AI results.
Still, it reminded me that other options exist, like @StartpageSearch. After I talked about them on Twitter, their account actually followed me!

In my first salvaged post, I wrote about #movie recommendation sites!
I discovered MovieLens years ago when developing my collaboratively edited social news site way back when (a story for another time) - it is an #opendata recommendation platform that is also a research project by the University of #Minnesota.
It also predates the current #AI revolution, if that matters to you.

The Data Use and Access Bill (UK) weakens protections against life-changing decisions being made solely by AI.
It puts the onus on the individual to have to prove a mistake has been made when machines get it wrong. It puts the power in the hands government and companies to significantly impact our lives.
We must protect the right to human review of automated decisions.

You allowed this to happen by your inaction.
Just because you were unequipped to see the consequences, you were happy to abandon us, who tried to hold the thin red line against the #dataabuse.

I am ostensibly human and can prove it cryptographically.
I like Art, all art, and most technologies. I hack mostly Perl, Bash, and Python but have spent the most of my time building websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (ever since Flash/ActionScript died). I've been working with AI since long before LLMs were a thing, mostly for creative endeavors. I survived the flame wars and will no longer tolerate that kind of behavior. I am not a "Real Programmer" and neither is anyone else.
I play guitar, mandolin, some piano & drums, and I'm picking up ukulele a little. I crochet manageably and knit poorly. I can still do a fair number of my old magic tricks, but nobody really wants to see that kinda stuff anymore. I occasionally draw, collage, and paint as well as repair most household objects.
I have art and writing on my website(s), and if you can find them all hopefully you enjoy some of it, because I am not a "Content Creator" and I'm not interested in becoming an "Influencer," I just want to make stuff and experience life and share it with the world at my discretion.
I'm married with 2 kids, but usually I keep them out of my online interactions for their privacy.

It's really effing obvious LLMs are a con trick:
If LLMs were actually intelligent, they would be able to just learn from each other and would get better all the time. But what actually happens if LLMs only learn from each other is their models collapse and they start spouting gibberish.
LLMs depend entirely on copying what humans write because they have no ability to create anything themselves. That's why they collapse when you remove their access to humans.
There is no intelligence in LLMs, it's just repackaging what humans have written without their permission. It's stolen human labour.

It's coming up on one-year since I joined Mastodon and I just switched to a new instance. So, there's no better time for an #introduction toot.
I started my #privacy journey during the height of the pandemic, when #proton had a special for their email service. Over the past 4ish years I have been trying to learn as much I can, and have been slowly switching/advocating for privacy friendly alternatives. In October of last year (2023), I made the switch to #linux and haven't looked back.
More recently, I have taken an interest in #OpSec.
I am also a big fan of #OpenStreetMap and try to contribute as often as possible. All of my mapping content is posted on my other account to help keep things separate -- @governorkeagan@en.osm.town
Currently, I work two jobs. My primary role is with a company that provides trainers to help other companies solve their problems, and I specifically work on training #AI.[1] I’m also working as a freelance #filmmaker, with the goal of making that my full-time gig. All my video-related toots are posted on my other profile, @gringomedia.

Let's do the math.
To train GPT4 - 384,615,000 KWh was burned ($100,000,000+)
That's enough to power:
* 690,000 average residential homes for a month.
* Run a large/huge data centre for 7 years.
Some #LLM models took x2.5 that so multiply all the numbers by that.
That's all of greater Los Angeles residences powered for a month.
There were "only" about 65 energy dumps like that so far.

The thing about AI from a philosophic perspective still irks me is that overall, all the ethical things that AI can in theory be used for, as in, to do tasks that are unsafe for humans, like mining, processing the recycling of electronics with rare earth's & monitoring/fixing pipelines & power lines in severe weather conditions, but needed for our society to function-- aren't ones that AIs are being trained for nor tasked with.....
Instead we're getting AIs pushed into artistic, creative & emotive fields that if anything require humans who are given more leeway than they're generally given now to think & adapt, but now instead are being "replaced" by the even more limiting computers/AIs....
Beyond the fact that data theft is needed for these forums/forms that AIs are being pushed into, I really think that this is a problem based upon a wrongful theory being pushed into this process. I don't thusly want AIs "banned" as a whole but I definitely want them banned from any & all spheres where humans can safely do the jobs in question & minimally as a start want a hardline ban on data theft for AI training!

Some dreams are eerily realistic. Sometimes, you might not even realize that something you remember came from a dream for several hours or even days afterward. But that doesn't change the fact that it was a dream.
This is part of why I take issue with the idea of #AI hallucinations. Currently, EVERYTHING that #GenerativeAI produces is a hallucination, no matter how believable or accurate. The idea that only the obviously incorrect things are "hallucinations" is misleading.

I’m more certain than ever that the first quarter of 2024 will see a grand reckoning for companies that have bet big on #AI. As I said before, I predict a lot of CFOs getting sticker shock at their compute bills, and we will see pivots and downscaling of expectations across the industry. By the middle of the year, there will likely be a general cool-down as users and investors come to grips with what “AI” can realistically do at reasonable cost (hint: not as much as the hype claims). Strategically deploying smaller models will become quite attractive, rather than monolithic solutions.
I also think 2024 is the year of the legal reckoning for the industry. Creators whose work have been used for training (i.e. plagiarized) will likely make big inroads into establishing legal frameworks for compensation, and some models will become poisoned because they were trained with unvetted data. Hopefully this also means that model-makers who have been meticulous about their training data’s providence will reap rewards.

I'm a #ComputerScience #PhD candidate at the #University of #Vermont (#UVM). There, I'm doing #AI and #ALife #research with Josh Bongard and many others. Themes include #evolution, #evolvability, innate #intelligence, #cells, #bodies, and #endosymbiosis.
I believe #science should be open and accessible, so I write about my ideas on a #Wordpress #blog, review relevant #books on #Goodreads, and publish my source code on #Github (links in my profile).
I'm passionate about #diversity, #socialjustice, #sustainability, #ethics, #philosophy, and all things #tech. In my personal life, I love #food, #cooking, #reading, #yoga, #hiking, #art, and #StarTrek.
I worked for many years on #Google #Search as a #software #engineer, #techlead, and #manager. I used to be proud of that, but lately I have concerns.
My favorite #programming language is #Python, but I know many more, and lately have been quite enjoying #CUDA #GPU programming in #cplusplus.
@ekis@mastodon.social
Automate the boardroom before the factory floor.
Ignore the fact we could replace most executives with a #d20 dice. Even the best ones could be automated easier than building complex #robots and #software to replace jobs that are inexpensive.
Or your class in #DnD will forever be "traitor"

@MoBlack@mastodon.online
As it turns out, Mastodon has a lot of discovery and mobile features that only really work if you're on an updated instance, so I've moved.
As a brief re #introduction I'm Mo Black. Usually I run a YouTube channel and #blog centered around #anime and #animation from a leftist perspective, but I've been sorta busy. I'm working on this large project digging into the math and ethics behind generative #AI

I fight for the users.
I love programming and thinking and talking about thinking. I have an education (BS, MS, PhD) focused on artificial intelligence and neuroscience.
I'm an advocate of the public academic pursuit of knowledge, the scientific process, peer review, and I see open source software and hardware as an essential part of the scientific process.
I see software user rights, including security and privacy, to be protected mainly by free open source software, specifically software with a copyleft license, i.e. GPL or Mozilla.
I see the democratizing effects of the Internet, including distributed journalism and social networking, to be largely the effect of the collaborative development of free and open source software.
I am interested in free and open source manufacturing, including open source 3D printers and CNC machines. I believe open source manufacturing will be important for distributed manufacturing, allowing local manufacturing and local labor.
I see worker-owned coops as the way to safely transition from a non-democratic authoritarian top-down power structure of a traditional corporation to a democratic work environment, where the workers own the company and elect the board of directors, transitioning to democracy in the workplace.
I believe that socialism is a regulatory response to capitalism.
I believe that laws, money, corporations, and government are social agreements, and I'm in favor of democratic social agreements.
I believe in the organized non-violent boycott as a way to control capitalists and change corrupt systems.
I am a pacifist. I am against violence. I am against citizens keeping guns in cities and towns with children. I am against war.
I try to eat plant-based / vegan foods to boycott the animal industry, to help with the climate crisis, to improve my health, to avoid animal cruelty, and to avoid the extinction of species of plants, animals and ecosystems.
I have been diagnosed with Retinitus Pigmentosa, which is a disease of progressive retinal degeneration. I am legally blind, although I have about 5-degrees of vision remaining in my fovea. I'm interested in researching and developing BCIs (Brain-Computer Interfaces), specifically BCIs that function as vision prostheses that may help with conditions like RP, or the more common degenerative retinal disease AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration).
I enjoy playing computer games like Age of Empires and Rimworld. I used to program computer games when I was younger and would like to get back to it one day.
I love playing music, especially bass guitar. I've been listening to a lot of Rage Against the Machine and Enya recently.
I enjoy reading books, mostly non-fiction.
I enjoy studying religions. I've found a lot of value in Buddhism, and I meditate often daily.
Nina and I have recently had our first baby, a boy we call Tyoma.
I'm currently working at Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc. on FOSH assistive consumer electronics.
I'm sober.

"La biopolitica delle popolazioni appare quando il diritto si ripropone di governare la vita in una molteplicità aperta qualunque. [...] Da qui lo sviluppo del calcolo delle probabilità e delle scienze sociali e il senso del controllo sociale delle probabilità..."
Un autore che si dovrebbe studiare di più oggi con il tema del controllo e sorveglianza con l'utilizzo dell'AI:
Michael Foucault

That story about AI hiring a human to solve a CAPTCHA for it? 100% #bullshit #AIHype fearmongering.
Also the outlook for actual #AISafety might be worse than we feared because it's not clear the people doing #AI know how to use the specification tools that have been developed for the task.

We will not publish anything “written” by “AI” because we don’t see the point. Through stories we humans share our experiences, ideas, dreams. Through stories we can live outside of ourselves and come to know one another a little better. Through stories we make sense of the world. None of that can sprout from a generative bullshitter program.
It’s sad that this even needs to be stated, but as our current Mastodon instance ends in “.ai” … well, we have spoken.

Question for the #fediverse about how we relate to new #llm #AI:
If you find the free extraction of value from the internet for the training of for-profit disrupting AIs problematic, and,
Are fond of the #fediverse …
How do you feel about the fact that the fediverse can and is being scraped (try searching Google)?
It’s in the nature of the technology (right?) which is arguably only a minor step toward decentralised internet participation.
Is the #fediverse already showing its age?

Hi all! I'm Joseph Szymborski, a #PhD student at McGill university studying #deeplearning models as applied to molecular biology.
Specifically, I'm working on predicting the interaction of proteins based solely on their amino acid sequence.
Follow for upcoming blog posts on topics related to #bioinformatics , molecular biology, and other generally nerdy things.
Eager to meet and share ideas with #compbio #netbio and #deeplearning people here!

Hey there everyone. This is the official mastodon account for the AI Horde.
AI Horde provides free Stable Diffusion and LLM text generation for everyone through crowdsourcing it on volunteer PCs.
You can generate for free, or join the horde to generate for others and get priority on your own generations.
We have many different UIs and other tools like GIMP and Krita plugins and mastodon bots.
Homepage with links to everything: https://aihorde.net
@FeralRobots@mastodon.social
If you want to know why people don't trust #OpenAI or Microsoft or Google to fix a broken faux-#AGI #chatbot #LLM, consider that using suicidal teens for A/B testing was regarded as perfectly fine by a Silicon Valley "health" startup developing "#AI"-based suicide prevention tools.
(Aside: This is also where we get when techbros start doing faux-utilitarian moral calculus instead of just not doing obviously unethical shit.)

"...You make software that's hostile to brains in the hopes a few rich people get poisoned by it and become willing to exchange money for higher numbers. In #twitter's case, they got eaten by the whale. They get slack notifications at 2am if the whale isn't getting enough numbers.
In a way, the app created its owner. That's a little fucked up to me, more so than the standard #AI domination tropes, that a system without agency ends up..."

Dealing with machine learning #ai including technologies such as stable diffusion, llm, transformer and convolutional networks.
Looking at the development of the programming language #python, giving feedback now and then to new #PEP and tracking release notes of libraries such as #Django , #numpy etc.
Last but not least #postgresql I am a huge fan of this open-source database. If somebody wants to connect hereof, yes please 😊️

Here is a simple Google search up against #AI:
Question: Did Don Reno play the banjo or the guitar?
Summary from Google:
Don Reno was one of the most distinctive and influential banjo players in the history of bluegrass music. Born in the Upcountry of South Carolina in 1927, Reno spent most of his childhood on a farm in Clyde, in Haywood County.
Answer from Perplexity.ai (with sources):
Don Reno was a multi-instrumentalist, playing both the banjo and guitar[1][2][3][4][5]
Job done?

A 2nd #introduction is needed:
I'm Victor, Clinical Data Scientist researching in #AI applied to medicine.
Although AI is something that interests me from many aspects (technical, mathematical and critical) I do not limit myself to write only about this as I have many other interests (#opensource, #python, #SocialJustice, #diversity, #books, #comics, #basketball, etc.).
Also, I speak SP, EN, DE & FR
Looking forward to interact with the Dair-community.

#introduction Hi I'm Richard and I'm looking for a new type of social media. Something akin to the blogosphere in 2004. I'm an old-school tech blogger, started a site called ReadWriteWeb in 2003 and then chronicled the Web 2.0 era on it.
I'm currently writing a book (#nonfiction #techhistory); at least 500 words per day, usually very early in the morning.
I'm a #type1diabetic #T1D

So Hello, thought I better introduce myself. My name is Paul and I have just made the jump from Twitter.
Interested in the intersection of #Law , #Tech #AI and #Cloud professionally.
In the spare time I do as much cycling as the part time LLB Hons allows and have just retired from coaching rugby.
Family and I have just moved to Sussex after some 20 years in London and Chicago, originally from NZ.
@UlrikeHahn@fediscience.org
This account has been prompted by the #Twittermigration but only in the sense that I am hoping that there might be a great science community taking shape here: I never really felt drawn to Twitter for talking about my research, but I could see the great potential (among the shoutiness..) during Covid.
I work on human rationality. A lot of my research is about measuring argument quality. And, as a cognitive scientist, I dabble in #cognitive psychology, #philosophy, and #AI
@claesdevreese@mastodon.social
Learning #Mastodon etiquette: so a short Introduction: I do research on #media, #journalism, #polcomm, #AI, #digital #tech, #politics and #democracy. I am based at U #Amsterdam and also direct the Digital Democracy Centre at U Southern Denmark. My interests are (too) broad, I am impatient, score high on #badhumor, energetic and generally optimistic. I am here to learn, frustrate Elon, and I will post mostly about work, but with occasional #dogsofmastodon, #running, and irrelevant photo content.

Since I didn't do an #introduction yesterday:
Hi. I do #robots, #VR, #VTuber, #AI, #gamedev, #Art, #Halloween, etc.
I am finally on 🐘 app for #twittermigration, though I've actually been considering it for some time. I have a few accts on the 🐦 app for different purposes, but I haven't set my constellation up here yet (or decided how I want to).
This account is my general purpose id and will likely cover random things that interests me. I'll mention more targeted accts as I sort them out
