LangGraph

Durable Execution First The industry is pivoting away from vibe-coding toward systems where state management and process persistence—via tools like Temporal and LangGraph—are mandatory for production reliability.\n> The Architecture Shift Performance gains are migrating from raw model weights to the harness—the middleware and local infrastructure that allow agents to reason recursively and recover from tool failures in real-time.\n> Long-Horizon Autonomy New patterns like Cognitive Accumulation and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) are enabling agents to maintain strategic intent over hundreds of steps, moving past simple one-off tasks.\n> Code-Centric Orchestration Developers are favoring smol libraries and code-as-action over complex JSON schemas, prioritizing precision on local hardware and vision-language models for robust GUI navigation.

Architectural Shifts Beyond simple text prompts, the industry is moving toward "agentic filesystems" and persistent sandboxes, treating AI as an operating system rather than a stateless chat interface. > Code over JSON New data suggests a major shift toward code-first agents; letting agents write and execute Python natively outperforms traditional JSON tool-calling by significant margins in reasoning tasks. > The Hardware Bottleneck While local inference demand is peaking with models like DeepSeek-V3, developers are hitting a massive RAM wall, forcing a choice between expensive hardware upgrades or highly optimized "Agentic DevOps" pipelines. > Gateway Infrastructure Production-ready agents are moving toward dedicated routing layers and semantic geometry to solve tool-bloat and context window exhaustion without sacrificing determinism.
