Stripe x Cursor,硅谷两代“金童”对谈: 未来5年IDE里将不再是代码
海外独角兽· 2025-09-18 12:08
• LLM 对 IDE 的改变应该是一个真正的开发环境,不仅仅是一个文本编辑器,真正的 AI IDE 中将不 存在"编程语言",更多是开发者描述需求; 编译:Yangqi 本文是 Cursor CEO Michael Truell 和 Stripe CEO Patrick Collison 的深度对谈。 Patrick 和 Michael 都被 硅谷视为"天才少年":两位创始人都在大学辍学开始商业探索,Stripe 和 Cursor 又恰好都是他们在 22 岁时创立,并且都快速成为 cloud 和 AI 时代的重要公司。 作为成功创业者,Michael 和 Patrick 至今保持着一线技术视角。在本篇对谈中,他们也讨论了 Stripe 的技术实践、编程的未来。 • Patrick 很早就在技术前沿做探索:用 Lisp 语言写 AI chatbot,用 Smalltalk 搭建了第一家公司…… • 创业公司的早期技术选型往往很随意,但同时又会带来深远影响,Stripe 的技术核心是 Ruby(今天 仍是 Stripe 的主要语言) 和 MongoDB ,为了让 MongoDB 符合金融级别的响应和可靠性,St ...
超越 Prompt 和 RAG,「上下文工程」成了 Agent 核心胜负手
海外独角兽· 2025-09-17 12:08
Core Insights - Context engineering has emerged as a critical concept in agent development, addressing the challenges of managing extensive context generated during tool calls and long horizon reasoning, which can hinder agent performance and increase costs [2][4][7] - The concept was introduced by Andrej Karpathy, emphasizing the importance of providing the right information at the right time to enhance agent efficiency [4][5] - Context engineering encompasses five main strategies: Offload, Reduce, Retrieve, Isolate, and Cache, which aim to optimize the management of context in AI agents [3][14] Group 1: Context Engineering Overview - Context engineering is seen as a subset of AI engineering, focusing on optimizing the context window for LLMs during tool calls [5][7] - The need for context engineering arises from the limitations of prompt engineering, as agents require context from both human instructions and tool outputs [7][14] - A typical task may involve around 50 tool calls, leading to significant token consumption and potential performance degradation if not managed properly [7][8] Group 2: Strategies for Context Management - **Offload**: This strategy involves transferring context information to external storage rather than sending it back to the model, thus optimizing resource utilization [15][18] - **Reduce**: This method focuses on summarizing or pruning context to eliminate irrelevant information while being cautious of potential data loss [24][28] - **Retrieve**: This strategy entails fetching relevant information from external resources to enhance the context provided to the model [38][40] - **Isolate**: This approach involves separating context for different agents to prevent interference and improve efficiency [46][49] - **Cache**: Caching context can significantly reduce costs and improve efficiency by storing previously computed results for reuse [54][56] Group 3: Practical Applications and Insights - The implementation of context engineering strategies has been validated through various case studies, demonstrating their effectiveness in real-world applications [3][14] - Companies like Manus and Cognition have shared insights on the importance of context management, emphasizing the need for careful design in context handling to avoid performance issues [29][37] - The concept of "the Bitter Lesson" highlights the importance of leveraging computational power and data to enhance AI capabilities, suggesting that simpler, more flexible approaches may yield better long-term results [59][71]
一半美国医生都在用的AI产品,OpenEvidence 是医疗界的 Bloomberg
海外独角兽· 2025-09-16 12:04
作者:Haina 因此,OpenEvidence 的切入点不是低风险的文书工作,而是直击临床决策中最复杂和最关键的问 题。更重要的是,公司秉持一个理念:为专业人士做消费级产品。传统上,医生等知识工作者被迫 使用笨拙的 2B 工具,而 OpenEvidence 让他们像普通消费者一样,在 App Store 下载一款流畅、即时 可用的应用。这一设计既重塑了医疗技术的分发模式,也让医生首次真正被当作"个体用户"来对 待。它绕过了传统机构冗长的采购流程,以类似消费级产品的 PLG(产品驱动增长) 策略实现了病 毒式传播。 在这个过程中,OpenEvidence 发现其高效匹配医生临床需求的能力,在"决策点(Point-of-Care)"数 据领域具有强烈的 PMF。因此,它将商业化重点从单纯的工具提供,转向"情境感知的药品营销"服 务,从一个医生工具转型为数据商业化平台,成为医疗广告市场的直接竞争者。 OpenEvidence 目前成功吸引了超过 40% 的美国医生用户。在不到两年的时间里,平台每月处理的医 生咨询量从 2024 年的 36 万次飙升至 2025 年的 850 万次,增长超过 20 倍。在自身业务高 ...
