About the technology Most production AI systems require many orchestrated interactions between the user, AI models, and a wide variety of data sources. AI agents capture and organize these interactions into autonomous components that can process information, make decisions, and learn from interactions behind the scenes. This book will show you how to create AI agents and connect them together into powerful multi-agent systems. About the book In AI Agents in Action, you’ll learn how to build production-ready assistants, multi-agent systems, and behavioral agents. You’ll master the essential parts of an agent, including retrieval-augmented knowledge and memory, while you create multi-agent applications that can use software tools, plan tasks autonomously, and learn from experience. As you explore the many interesting examples, you’ll work with state-of-the-art tools like OpenAI Assistants API, GPT Nexus, LangChain, Prompt Flow, AutoGen, and CrewAI.

In Evolutionary Deep Learning you'll master a toolbox of EC techniques that can be applied to any stage of the deep learning pipeline--from data collection, to hyperparameter tuning, and even optimizing network architecture. Hands-on examples demonstrate genetic algorithms and other EC approaches in action, and apply evolutionary deep learning to network topology, criterion loss and rewards, generative modeling, and reinforcement learning. Google Colab notebooks make it easy to experiment and play around with each exciting example. By the time you've finished reading, you'll be ready to build deep learning models as self-sufficient systems you can efficiently adapt to changing requirements.
