AI agents are here, but how did we get here in the first place? How do we build and leverage AI agents for high stakes domains like healthcare? In this episode of Dev and Doc, we go deep into the forest that is AI agents and computer control - starting from the "caveman" era of LLMs discovering tools, to cultivating intelligent models and agentic workflows. We dissect everyday agents like MANUS AI, and deep dive into how, where and when AI agents should be used. Are these agents hype or hope, is this actually the second deepseek moment?

Claude sonnet 3.7 was released less than 48 hours ago, the model is highly intelligent and is one of the best we have seen in recent memory. Definitely passes the vibe check.
We give some amazing examples of coding with claude with few shot prompts, and cover technical and clinical evaluations and share our first thoughts. We even tested claude to take a patient history!
NB - PLEASE don't do this at home, obviously this is a demo and we do not in any way condone or recommend using an LLM as your doctor or healthcare provider, we are just demonstrating what the future could be. If you are sick, please seek a medical professional.

How do we align AI models for healthcare? 👨⚕️ And importantly, the moral codes and ethics that we practice everyday, how does the LLM deal with ethical scenarios like the trolley problem for example? This is a fascinating topic and one we spend a lot of time thinking about. In this episode Dev and Doc, Zeljko Kraljevic and I cover all the up to date topics around reinforcement learning, the benefits and where it can go wrong. We also discuss different RL methods including the algorithms used to train ChatGPT (RLHF). Dev and Doc is a Podcast where developers and doctors join forces to deep dive into AI in healthcare.
