The Rise of Agentic Kernels

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.
