Oh wow… It’s been a while since my last article. Time to get disciplined with writing!😉

I’ve wanted to write about LLMs/AI, exploring not just the tech but also potential societal impacts. During a recent hackathon, I experimented with AgenticLLMs, leveraging Anthropic’s MCP and Google’s A2A protocol. I’ll save the societal and philosophical musings for the end — feel free to skip them if they’re not your thing. 😉

This article discusses the development of a swarm of AgenticLLM agents aimed at assisting SOC analysts by providing actionable insights based on SIEM alerts. It delves into the architecture, components, and interactions of these agents during a hackathon, emphasizing the practicality of utilizing Google’s A2A protocol and Anthropic’s MCP. The author reflects on the broader implications of AI and LLM technologies, drawing parallels between human learning and machine learning capabilities, while also addressing potential concerns regarding reliance on these technologies and the future of software engineering roles in an AI-centric world.
