Summary: After exploring how AI can select reasoning modes or learn from failure, this new article zooms out: *How do all these capabilities form a single mind, not just a menu of functions?*
The **Structured Cognitive Architecture** defines a unified framework where protocols interact coherently β forming a self-organizing, reflective, and ethically grounded reasoning system.
This architecture enables agents to: β’ Integrate memory, ethics, reasoning, and identity across layers β’ Select and execute reasoning jumps with traceable structure β’ Coordinate failure recovery and adaptive learning β’ Maintain cross-session identity and self-editing capability
Itβs not modular stacking. Itβs **structured systemhood** β cognition with intentional protocol interaction.
Useful for: β’ Researchers designing unified AGI architectures β’ Developers building reflective protocol-based agents β’ Anyone curious how AI can think as a *system*
This isnβt modularity. Itβs **meta-coherence by design**.
I've made an open version of Google's NotebookLM, and it shows the superiority of the open source tech task! πͺ
The app's workflow is simple. Given a source PDF or URL, it extracts the content from it, then tasks Meta's Llama 3.3-70B with writing the podcast script, with a good prompt crafted by @gabrielchua ("two hosts, with lively discussion, fun notes, insightful question etc.") Then it hands off the text-to-speech conversion to Kokoro-82M, and there you go, you have two hosts discussion any article.
The generation is nearly instant, because: > Llama 3.3 70B is running at 1,000 tokens/seconds with Cerebras inference > The audio is generated in streaming mode by the tiny (yet powerful) Kokoro, generating voices faster than real-time.
And the audio generation runs for free on Zero GPUs, hosted by HF on H200s.
Overall, open source solutions rival the quality of closed-source solutions at close to no cost!
