The Rise of Self-Modifying Infrastructure

Description

    • Code-as-Action Dominance The era of the 'JSON tax' is ending, replaced by smaller models like smolagents that execute Python logic to achieve SOTA performance on complex benchmarks. - Standardizing the Web Google’s WebMCP and Microsoft’s MarkItDown are transforming the messy web into an agent-readable API layer, establishing the infrastructure needed for reliable, production-grade autonomy. - The Verification Layer With systems like GLM-5 and OpenClaw proving agents can now generate their own binaries and self-correct overnight, the focus has shifted from model intelligence to robust verification. - Rising Economic Friction As frontier models push knowledge cutoffs into 2025, developers are facing an 'Agent Tax' that is driving a surge in local-first stacks and sovereign orchestration.
