Description

- From Chat to Kernels The paradigm is shifting from simple ReAct loops to "agentic kernels" and DAG-based task architectures, treating agents as stateful operating systems rather than conversational bots.
- Code-as-Action Dominance New frameworks like smolagents and Transformers Agents 2.0 are proving that agents writing raw Python outperform traditional JSON-based tool calls, significantly raising the bar for autonomous reasoning.
- Environment Engineering Builders are focusing on "agent harnesses" and sandboxed ecosystems to mitigate context poisoning and manage hierarchical orchestration within complex, real-world repositories.
- Hardware and Efficiency As DeepSeek slashes frontier reasoning costs and local-first developers lean on Apple Silicon’s unified memory, the infrastructure for low-latency, autonomous systems is finally maturing.

Description

- The Execution Shift Hugging Face’s smolagents and the code-as-action paradigm are resetting benchmarks by ditching JSON for raw Python execution. - Durable Agentic Kernels We are moving past fragile wrappers toward robust harnesses featuring persistent memory, local compute sovereignty, and file-based state. - Open-Source Reasoning New models like Olmo 3.1 are challenging proprietary giants, proving that specialized thinking architectures are the new performance frontier. - Hardening Infrastructure From Ollama’s enterprise pivot to OpenAI’s 10GW physical bet, the focus has shifted to the massive compute and reliable orchestration required for autonomous agents.
