The Agentic Loop: Three loops in a trench coat

Aren't the loops the wrong way round in the diagram. The tightest loop is the inference loop, then the tool loop and then human loop?

You can always find more loops if you want to write the next version of this post. Anything that runs software is a loop of instruction execution.

Anyone have suggestions on implementing loops with a basic $20/mo subscription to claude or gemini? Any blog posts recommended?

I like how you found the pattern of 3 loops. I am working on a similar blog where I had human loop outside the inference loop :) human -> llm-> tool
