How Cisco Is Preparing for a World Powered by Agentic AI and Quantum Computing I recently caught up once again with Vijoy Pandey, SVP and GM of Outshift by Cisco, to talk about agentic AI and quantum innovation.

SVP & GM Vijoy Pandey shared something on Tech Talks Daily that we haven't talked about.

The #QuantumNetwork entanglement chip is generating photons and creating fairness. And not just for future use cases, but also today's classical systems.

An Overview of JARVIS’ Distributed Multi-Agent System Architecture In this quick explainer, we break down the fundamentals of multi-agent systems in AI. 🔹 What is an AI Agent? An AI agent uses large language models (LLMs) to determine and control the application's logic and actions. 🔹 What is the ReAct Pattern? The ReAct (Reason and Act) pattern enables agents to think through user queries, call tools iteratively, and refine outputs until a satisfactory result is achieved. 🔹 What are Multi-Agent Systems (MAS)? MAS are composed of multiple independent agents working together to achieve a shared goal. 🔹 Deployment Models —Deterministic- Fixed workflows with curated agents and predictable outcomes. —Semantically routed -Delegates to sub-agents based on task. —Planner based - Dynamic real-time agent selection and flexible workflows. 🔹Workflow Orchestration —Network agent orchestration- Each agent can communicate with every other agent. —Supervisor agent orchestration- Each agent communicates with a single supervisor agent. —Hierarchical supervisor agent orchestration- A supervisor of supervisors pattern to create complex multi-agent systems. 🔹 JARVIS’s multi-agent architecture —Uses semantic routed deployment —Hierarchical supervisor agent orchestration —Reflection pattern —Uses AGNTCY ACP to connect between distributed agents Dive deeper in our blog: http://cs.co/633244lRb6 #AIagents #PlatformEngineering #MultiAgentArchitecture #LangChain #AIautomation #JARVIS ----- Outshift is Cisco’s incubation engine, innovating what's next and new for Cisco products and sharing our expertise on emerging technologies.
