As enterprise AI systems scale to handle complex workflows, practitioners face the challenge of routing subtasks to the right tools and skills. Agents can have hundreds of tools and skills and get confused on which one to use for each step of a workflow.To address this challenge, researchers at Alibaba developed SkillWeaver, a framework that creates an execution graph for a given task and chooses the right skills for each of the nodes. They also introduce Skill-Aware Decomposition (SAD), a novel technique that uses a feedback loop to enable the agent to fetch and vet relevant tool candidates iteratively. This compositional approach and feedback loop mechanism distinguishes SkillWeaver from other tool-routing frameworks that choose tools in a one-shot fashion. SkillWeaver relates to real-w [...]
A rogue AI agent at Meta passed every identity check and still exposed sensitive data to unauthorized employees in March. Two weeks later, Mercor, a $10 billion AI startup, confirmed a supply-chain br [...]
