The Architectural Shift Moving from autoregressive token prediction to 'world models' that understand physics and causality, as signaled by Meta's Yann LeCun.
Local Reasoning Supremacy Small, specialized models like NousCoder-14B are outperforming GPT-4o on coding tasks through intensive RL and B200-powered training.
Action-Oriented Interfaces The rise of 'pixel-manipulation' agents and Python-first orchestration marks the end of simple text-based interactions and the start of desktop-autonomous systems.
Hardware-Infrastructure Convergence NVIDIA's Rubin and Blackwell architectures are evolving into 'inference factories' to solve the memory bottlenecks currently killing long-horizon planning.
