Why the Best AI Agents Are Built Without Frameworks (Primitives over Frameworks) — Ahmad Awais, CHAI
AI Summary
In this talk, Ahmad Awais discusses the evolution of AI agents and the advantages of building them without traditional frameworks. He argues for the use of optimized primitives that enhance speed, scalability, and flexibility. Awais draws from his real-world experience with thousands of AI agents and shares insights on how primitives can lead to faster iteration and easier maintenance. He presents eight practical architectures for AI agents, covering memory management and serverless deployment. The session emphasizes the need to rethink infrastructure in favor of AI-native solutions over outdated frameworks.
