Software engineers get a deep dive into how AI coding agents work

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article provides a technical deep dive for software engineers into the inner workings of AI coding agents. It explains the fundamental concept of an agent as an autonomous computer program driven by machine learning models, contrasting it with historical definitions. The piece details how these agents, powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), function by predicting the next token in a sequence to generate responses, including code, and touches upon the training process and the role of model weights.
