lpf is GitOps for Linux networking: PF-style firewall, NAT, QoS, and routing
policy with live diff, guarded apply, and automatic rollback for remote changes.
I have not tried deerflow 2.0 but the community showcase is not particularly impressive to be honest. Single agent system can do just as good. Any multi-Agent framework must constantly outperform single-agent on a different tasks.
The name of the thread is provocative, but the premise is valid - I have yet to see anything produced by multi-agent frameworks (langchain or bespoke works) that produced value. Anthropic pushes vibeCAD, vibeVFX, vibePowerPoint but the results are underwhelming. The real value is in codegeneration and autonomous infra, research.
No US has been "winning" or rather leading thus far, but there is no guarantees that it will ever "win". I do not subscribe to idea of omnipotent omnipresent AGI. China plays a long game, I think DeepSeek does not engage in platform building on purpose. DeepSeek was probably assigned with a role of a primer lab, the goal is to replace CUDA, align with Huawei chips to do cutting edge research and cross-pollinate other teams in China. They might even hide the best models on purpose. In a long run China will use its industrial capability to apply and use AI better than anyone else. And that would be a good thing for the World.
It's not "AI bubble" - at this point it's a software bubble. It's Antropic or OpenAI that should justify their valuations, they have close to billion customers at this point. It's non-AI software companies without strong cloud business that must justify why their core product is not going to be replaced with the help of LLMs. It's not "fair" but that is how it's seen by the Wall Street.
>> And, yet, the US AI companies are not actually making a profit, right?
I think they already, actually making profits especially Antropic. But think how important it's from a business standpoint - the entire software stack from OS to Databases to browsers will be rewritten in the near future, for a company such as Oracle or IBM it means their bread and butter/cash cow can be replaced. It's worth almost any kind of Capex. And from Washington standpoint it's more important than F-35 program or even Apollo mission.
The trade war and tariffs are bringing inflation, consumer prices will soar, but from a geoeconomical standpoint this will hurt China (And EU) more than US.
US consumer on average has the deepest pockets in the World and people the top will make money on insider trading, stock anyways.
If AI tokens will become like US dollar, it will be under total control of the Fed.
True, I would have preferred benevolent dictator scenario, like with the Internet. But this time around it's different - AI data centers will be protected like embassies.
Jobs, Wozniak, Gates - it's a myth that you need poor migrants pulling themselves by their bootstraps to innovate. Sometimes a nazi scientist like Wernher von Braun is what it takes.
The goal is global domination as always, unfortunately. DARPA and the Pentagon helped create the Internet, and Silicon Valley later turned it into a major commercial success.
