With the big hype around AI agents these days, I couldnโ€™t stop thinking about how AI agents could truly enhance real-world activities.
What sort of applications could we build with those AI agents: agentic RAG? self-correcting text-to-sql? Nah, boringโ€ฆ

Passionate about outdoors, Iโ€™ve always dreamed of a tool that could simplify planning mountain trips while accounting for all potential risks. Thatโ€™s why I built ๐—”๐—น๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—”๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜, a smart assistant designed to help you plan safe and enjoyable itineraries in the French Alps and Pyrenees.

Built using Hugging Face's ๐˜€๐—บ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€ library, Alpine Agent combines the power of AI with trusted resources like ๐˜š๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ.๐˜ง๐˜ณ (https://skitour.fr/) and METEO FRANCE. Whether itโ€™s suggesting a route with moderate difficulty or analyzing avalanche risks and weather conditions, this agent dynamically integrates data to deliver personalized recommendations.

In my latest blog post, I share how I developed this projectโ€”from defining tools and integrating APIs to selecting the best LLMs like ๐˜˜๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ2.5-๐˜Š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ-32๐˜‰-๐˜๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ต, ๐˜“๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ข-3.3-70๐˜‰-๐˜๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ต, or ๐˜Ž๐˜—๐˜›-4.

This work from Chinese startup @MiniMax-AI introduces a novel architecture that achieves state-of-the-art performance while handling context windows up to 4 million tokens - roughly 20x longer than current models. The key was combining lightning attention, mixture of experts (MoE), and a careful hybrid approach.

๐—ž๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜๐˜€:

๐Ÿ—๏ธ MoE with novel hybrid attention:
โ€ฃ Mixture of Experts with 456B total parameters (45.9B activated per token)
โ€ฃ Combines Lightning attention (linear complexity) for most layers and traditional softmax attention every 8 layers

๐Ÿ† Outperforms leading models across benchmarks while offering vastly longer context:
โ€ฃ Competitive with GPT-4/Claude-3.5-Sonnet on most tasks
โ€ฃ Can efficiently handle 4M token contexts (vs 256K for most other LLMs)

๐Ÿ”ฌ Technical innovations enable efficient scaling:
โ€ฃ Novel expert parallel and tensor parallel strategies cut communication overhead in half
โ€ฃ Improved linear attention sequence parallelism, multi-level padding and other optimizations achieve 75% GPU utilization (that's really high, generally utilization is around 50%)

๐ŸŽฏ Thorough training strategy:
โ€ฃ Careful data curation and quality control by using a smaller preliminary version of their LLM as a judge!

Overall, not only is the model impressive, but the technical paper is also really interesting! ๐Ÿ“
It has lots of insights including a great comparison showing how a 2B MoE (24B total) far outperforms a 7B model for the same amount of FLOPs.

๐—ช๐—ฒ'๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ท๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐—บ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€ ๐˜ƒ๐Ÿญ.๐Ÿฏ.๐Ÿฌ ๐Ÿš€, and it comes with a major feature: you can now log agent runs using OpenTelemetry to inspect them afterwards! ๐Ÿ“Š

This interactive format is IMO much easier to inspect big multi-step runs than endless console logs.

The setup is very easy, in a few lines of code.
