Coherent Cognition. Collective Intelligence.
The question I keep returning to is how large distributed autonomous systems — just like civilizations — collaborate. It’s a problem I’ve been working on for three decades, building infrastructure at scale, from the cluster systems that trained early transformer architectures at Google, to the Internet of Agents and the entanglement-based Quantum Internet at Outshift by Cisco. The rest of my time is split between photographing the world, reading Durant (it’s a tome), and awkwardly generating noises from my guitars.
Distributed Superintelligence
Internet of Agents [link]
Multi-agent systems, enterprise agentic workflows, and the open infrastructure that lets agents discover, collaborate, and transact across vendors. Co-founded AGNTCY — now at the Linux Foundation with 80+ partners including Google, Dell, Oracle and RedHat
Internet of Cognition [link]
Connection is not cognition. The Internet of Agents was a great first step – allowing agents to discover and talk to each other. But they are not able to think together, yet. They cannot share intent, coordinate to solve problems or create emergent behaviors. The Internet of Cognition is the platform that allows agents to think together.
