Potentially some new followers here so just fyi that I generally post about all things Kotlin (and more recently) Compose Multiplatform.

- Currently have 12 KMP/CMP samples at github.com/joreilly (determined not to create any new ones for a while 😀)
- Blog at johnoreilly.dev

Yeah, perhaps....I haven't noticed that before but then again maybe wasn't looking that closely.

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity

Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

Hmm, emissions data is coming from tool which is using endpoint to get data so shouldn't be related to agent/LLM. I'll check it again later.

Is there reason it's described as a "JVM-native framework" instead of "Kotlin Multiplatform framework"?

Evil is a word that can get overused but hard to know how else to describe what's going on in Ukraine and Gaza (and of course elsewhere). How do you explain to your kids that people like this do exist ☹️

Four-day week 'good for workers and employers' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Heard some other headline on radio about this today....could definitely seem myself doing this at some point!

And this is example of one of. the Tools that Koog is configured to use (there's also ones for getting country and population data).

The Koog agent code, these tools and the repository class they're using are all in shared #KMP code.

Any chance this can be installed by default on Android Studio #AndroidDev

Trying out new Functional Agents support in Koog 0.5.0 (github.com/JetBrains/koog) ....also have set things up now to invoke population and emission data tools in parallel which makes running agent much faster!

Code in ClimateTrace #KMP sample (github.com/joreilly/Cli...).

Yeah, makes sense....was more thinking about getting things generally up and running initially.....can switch then to particular LLM to, as you say, fine tune.
