Summary
A tweet recommending the paper ReAct: Synergizing Reasoning and Acting in Language Models by Shunyu Yao et al., which introduced a simple yet foundational approach for building AI agents that reason and act iteratively.

Just finished reading ReAct: Synergizing Reasoning and Acting in Language Models by Shunyu Yao et al and team Google Brain.
It’s one of those papers that feels obvious in hindsight: let the model reason, take an action, observe the result, then reason again. Simple idea, but it laid the groundwork for many of today’s agentic AI systems.
Definitely worth reading if you’re trying to understand where modern AI agents came from.
