Agentic — July 10, 2026

Agentic AI Frameworks Explained: Workflows, Multi-Agent, & Production
IBM Technology
This IBM Technology video explains that choosing the right agentic AI framework depends on the type of system you're building, and identifies five main categories: linear workflows (best suited for LangChain or LlamaIndex), autonomous multi-agent systems (AutoGen, CrewAI), role-based multi-agent systems where each agent has defined boundaries (CrewAI, ChatDev), production orchestration systems requiring deep API and business integration (LangGraph, Semantic Kernel/AutoGen), and rapid prototyping using visual, drag-and-drop tools (LangFlow, Flowise). The video emphasizes that these frameworks are not competing alternatives but are each optimized for different use cases. The core advice is to first determine what kind of agentic system you need—predictable pipeline, collaborative team, or production deployment—before selecting a framework.

Kittl's Agentic AI Just Changed The Game 🤯 (Print on Demand Tutorial)
Adrian Vonarx
The video is a tutorial by print-on-demand seller Adrian Vonarx demonstrating Kittl's new "Agentic AI" feature, which automates the entire AI design process by selecting the appropriate AI model, writing detailed prompts, and configuring settings from just a few plain-English words. Adrian showcases three methods for using it: a "quick and easy" way (typing a simple prompt like "t-shirt design for female book lovers"), a "strategic way" (uploading a screenshot of a bestselling Etsy design as inspiration to generate original niche-targeted designs), and a "variances way" for creating multiple design iterations. He compares Agentic AI favorably against manually selecting models like Nano Banana Pro, showing that Agentic AI produces more polished, print-ready t-shirt designs from the same simple prompt while saving time and AI tokens.

KEEP AI LOCAL! Explaining Agentic AI and The Loop
Level1Techs
The video explains agentic AI and "closing the loop" — the concept of giving an AI a task, defining success criteria, and letting it autonomously execute using multiple AI agent instances working together. The host demonstrates a local setup where an MSI DGX Spark/Edge Expert runs the AI (using the Neotron model), which then remotely controls a separate mini PC, with agent harnesses like Hermes and Turnstone orchestrating the workflow. Turnstone is highlighted as a more mature, safety-conscious orchestration framework with guardrails, role assignments, a judge model (Gemma), and a permissions system to prevent runaway AI actions. The video also introduces concepts like "skills" (brief instruction files telling the AI how to use tools or scripts) and MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, while cautioning that agentic AI is still in a hype cycle and works best when used to build durable, human-AI collaborative processes rather than fully autonomous ones.

Advancing connectivity for Agentic AI
Nokia
Nokia's video explains that Agentic AI creates a distinctly different network traffic pattern compared to other AI types — instead of transferring large datasets, software agents generate short, bursty, bidirectional conversations as they continuously interact with each other and the network. Using a ride-share fleet management scenario as an example, the video illustrates how agents query the network for real-time situational awareness and trigger autonomous, intent-driven responses at scale. Nokia is addressing this shift by partnering with Google Cloud to fuse network APIs with Agentic AI, enabling developers to build agents that control network capabilities through natural language and intent-driven workflows. The core message is that networks must evolve beyond data transport to become active participants that coordinate, decide, and connect intelligence in real time.

Local AI Coding Agents Are Finally Good Enough
Code with Beto
Qwen 3.6, a new 27-billion-parameter open-source model optimized for agentic coding, vision, and tool calling, has made running a capable local AI coding agent genuinely practical for the first time. The presenter demonstrates downloading and running it via LM Studio on an Apple M3 Ultra (96GB RAM), connecting it to the OpenCode coding agent, and completing real tasks like scanning a codebase, building new app screens, creating games, and recognizing images — all offline. Hardware requirements are steep (at least 24GB VRAM recommended, with an M3 Ultra's fans running loud during complex tasks), and performance is compared favorably to Claude 4.5 rather than the latest frontier models. The video also shows LM Studio's phone companion app for chatting with the local model remotely, and concludes that local AI coding agents have crossed a threshold where they're genuinely useful for everyday development tasks.

I Love the Karpathy LLM Wiki but it Doesn't Scale. Here's What Does.
Cole Medin
The video distinguishes between two types of AI agents: personal agents (like "second brain" setups using markdown documents) and production agents shipped to multiple users. The creator argues that while markdown-based personal agents (inspired by Karpathy's LLM Wiki) are simple and powerful for individual use, they fail to scale for production because they lack proper access control, auditability, and cost efficiency. For production agents, he advocates replacing the markdown knowledge base with a proper database architecture featuring two key components: a **context retriever** (giving the agent structured access to business data) and **agent memory** (short- and long-term memory per user). He demonstrates this architecture using Redis and its new "Redis Iris" platform—which provides both components via an MCP server—built on top of a Pydantic AI agent with mock e-commerce data, noting the video is sponsored by Redis.

Microsoft Agentic AI in 2026: The Reality vs The Hype #MicrosoftAI #AgenticAI
Anton Voroniuk | GenAI Revolution Podcast
Anton Voroniuk interviews Scott Duffy, a Microsoft ecosystem expert and Udemy instructor with 1.5 million students, about the state of Microsoft's agentic AI heading into 2026. Duffy argues that AI is both genuinely transformative and significantly overhyped, drawing a parallel to the early internet's slow adoption curve, while noting that AI-assisted coding was his personal turning point where he felt he could never go back. On Microsoft's agentic AI specifically, Duffy suggests the company is somewhat behind competitors, and advises organizations to start with narrow, specific problems rather than trying to deploy agentic solutions across everything at once. He also shares practical personal use cases, including using AI for coding course materials and using Perplexity for agentic research to streamline course development.

AI Agents Explained: Build Your First One in 2026
Roboverse
The video explains what AI agents are and how they differ from standard chatbots like ChatGPT: rather than waiting for user input, an agent is given a goal once and then runs autonomously on a schedule, retains memory between sessions, and works in the background. The host walks viewers through building a personal AI agent using an open-source tool called Hermes (by Nouse Research), deployed on a Hostinger VPS via a one-click template, and connected to AI models through Open Router, which provides access to over 400 models with a single API key. The setup process — including navigating the web terminal, running a setup wizard, and selecting a model — is presented as achievable in about 10–15 minutes with no coding required. The agent is then connected to a messaging app like Telegram so it can be accessed from a phone and run continuously around the clock.

MCP vs Skills: Which Is Right for Your AI Agent and LLMs?
IBM Technology
The video explains two methods for adding custom capabilities to large language models (LLMs): MCP (Model Context Protocol) and Skills. MCP is a standardized protocol that connects LLMs to external data sources and services—such as CRMs or databases—by abstracting APIs into an LLM-ready format and handling authentication, making it ideal for real-time, permission-controlled data access. Skills, by contrast, are lightweight markdown-based packages containing prompts, metadata, and scripts that give LLMs reusable domain knowledge and repeatable behavior (e.g., always formatting output the same way), addressing LLMs' non-deterministic nature. The video concludes that both tools are open source, widely supported, and complementary—MCP handles external integrations while Skills handle consistent, custom task execution.

Agents are slower than LLMs?
Caleb Writes Code
Agents are slower than pure LLMs primarily because they rely on external tool calls—such as web fetches, API requests, database queries, or file transfers—which can take seconds to minutes to execute, far outpacing the time the LLM itself spends generating the tool call request. This creates a lopsided time problem where GPUs sit idle and expensive while waiting for tool results to return. To address this at the infrastructure level, the video explores "disaggregated inference," which separates compute into specialized units for batch processing and token generation, combined with external KV cache offloading so cached context can be stored cheaply elsewhere during tool execution rather than tying up GPU memory. The video notes that Anthropic's prompt caching feature (with 5-minute default and optional 1-hour extended caching) likely leverages similar principles, and that while these optimizations are overkill for local single-user setups, they become essential at mass scale where agentic workloads also shift data center energy budgets toward more CPU, storage, and networking resources.
