Compound Engineering Camp: Every Step, From Scratch

TL;DR

  • Compound engineering creates AI systems that remember past interactions, unlike traditional AI models.
  • The process involves a four-step loop: Plan, Work, Review, and Compound, with an optional Brainstorming step.
  • Different AI models can be utilized for specific stages of the development process, such as brainstorming, planning, implementation, and review.
  • The 'Compound' step is crucial for storing learned information as artifacts that future AI sessions can reference, making the system self-improving.
  • This approach mirrors the scaling logic of human teams by building systems that can operate independently.
