LLM Agents: Surprisingly Simple!

This guide demystifies the inner workings of LLM agents. Using a simple kitchen analogy, it explains how agent systems are built as graphs: nodes representing cooking stations, flow as the recipe, and shared storage as the countertop. Each node prepares, executes, and posts results; the flow determines the next node based on decisions. The author uses the PocketFlow framework (a mere 100 lines of code) to illustrate how agents function through decision nodes, action nodes, and end nodes, emphasizing their fundamental graph structure rather than complex algorithms. It's all about loops and branches!
