Anthropic’s Blueprint for Building Lean, Powerful AI Agents

In this video, I dive into a must-read blog post from Anthropic about building agentic systems. I'll walk you through why starting with simple, composable patterns often outperforms complex frameworks like Crew AI, LanGraph, and Autogen. We'll explore architectures, code examples, and practical recommendations for when to use workflows over agents.
