From Transformers to AI Agents: Engineering Guide to Modern AI Architecture
The article explains that modern AI applications are built on a stack of transformers, retrieval systems, vector databases, and agentic frameworks, not just a single model. It traces the evolution from chatbots to AI agents capable of multi-step workflows. The guide covers key components like LLMs, RAG, and orchestration tools for software engineers.
Meridian48 take
A solid primer for engineers, but the field moves fast—agentic systems are still nascent and often overhyped in practice.
