Learn to evaluate LLM agents based on the work they do, rather than their mechanisms, and understand how constraint sets and topology impact their performance
Action Steps
- Evaluate an LLM agent based on the specific work it is intended to do
- Analyze the constraint set of an LLM agent to understand its freedoms and limitations
- Examine the topology of an LLM agent to determine how information flows and is processed
- Consider how different mechanisms, such as memory or feedback loops, impact the performance of an LLM agent
- Design and test an LLM agent with a specific task or application in mind, rather than relying on general-purpose mechanisms
Who Needs to Know This
AI engineers, researchers, and developers can benefit from this perspective to design and evaluate LLM agents more effectively, and to communicate their value to stakeholders
Key Insight
💡 The performance of an LLM agent depends on its specific application and the work it is intended to do, rather than its underlying mechanisms

Most LLM agent debates ask the wrong question. Instead of "is this mechanism good," the right question is "what work is this agent doing." LLMs are not appliances — they are electricity. The appliance emerges from the circuit: constraint set defines what freedoms the model has and doesn't have; topology determines how information flows, stops, decays, and feeds back. Engineering comes last. A memory mechanism that improves a research assistant can destroy an identity-emergence agent. Rational ac
