# Agents 2.0: From Shallow Loops to Deep Agents - Host: [philschmid.de](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/hosts/philschmid.de/) - Saved: October 23, 2025 (2025-10-24T03:38:18Z) - Record: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/434a36bd816f/ - JSON: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/434a36bd816f.json ## What Jamie wrote Agent "architecture" is a quickly moving topic and the state of the art is changing quick, but this approach to making more complex agents is a good example. > Moving from Shallow Agents to Deep Agents (Agent 1.0 to Agent 2.0) isn't just about connecting an LLM to more tools. It is a shift from reactive loops to proactive architecture. It is about better engineering around the model. > > Implementing explicit planning, hierarchical delegation via [sub-agents](https://www.philschmid.de/the-rise-of-subagents), and [persistent memory](https://www.philschmid.de/memory-in-agents), allow us to control the context and by controlling the context, we control the complexity, unlocking the ability to solve problems that take hours or days, not just seconds. This space will see a ton of experimentation. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Appears in - [WT331: Weekly Thing 331 / RFC, Security, Tokens](https://weekly.thingelstad.com/archive/331/), Notable ## Same host - [The New Skill in AI is Not Prompting, It's Context Engineering](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/95ca1ba10ab7/) (philschmid.de, July 6, 2025) ## Saved the same week - [Measuring Engineering Productivity - Off By One](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9b2e1ea827a5/) (justoffbyone.com, October 23, 2025) - [Space Exploration Logo Archive](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0df3519b85ac/) (spaceexplorationlogoarchive.webflow.io, October 23, 2025) - [Rivian’s Also e-bike is like nothing you’ve ever seen before | The Verge](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3abc39b01fb7/) (theverge.com, October 23, 2025) - [RFCs: Blueprints of the Internet | Broadcast](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c712a6c1fab4/) (ackreq.github.io, October 23, 2025) - [Subway Builder](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/cbb5b2f4f422/) (subwaybuilder.com, October 23, 2025) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.philschmid.de/agents-2.0-deep-agents
