In a new podcast episode, Cyril Imhof and João explore the emergence of the "AI Agent Loop"—a paradigm where AI agents can iteratively improve themselves and execute long-running tasks autonomously. The discussion centers on how this shift, powered by models like Fable 5 and Mythos 5, changes the economics and capabilities of AI.

Key topics include:

  • Fable 5 vs. Mythos 5: Comparing features, guardrails, and performance.
  • Loop Engineering & Recursive Self-Improvement: How agents can refine their own outputs over multiple iterations.
  • Memory and Long-Running Tasks: Enabling agents to maintain context and execute complex, extended workflows.
  • Price Elasticity in AI: The impact of falling costs on AI adoption and business models.
  • Builder Opportunities: What developers and businesses can do to leverage these new capabilities.
  • Agentic Payments: How AI agents might handle transactions autonomously.

The hosts argue that the agent loop is not just an incremental update but a fundamental shift that makes AI more autonomous, efficient, and adaptable. This changes everything from software development to enterprise operations.
