Frontier models can disprove a decades-old mathematical conjecture. The same models misread an analog clock half the time. Stanford calls this the jagged frontier. I think 'topography' better captures what we're actually discovering.

The harness is the charging network. Without it, agent autonomy isn't viable—no matter how powerful the model behind it.

A team built like software, for years. But the more our teams embraced agentic AI, the more it felt like the wrong analogy—they don't feel like software anymore. They feel like an agent.

The real contest isn't to control the model—it's to command the runtime that executes it. Five players, five very different bets on where the agent should actually live.

What happens when open source is used more than ever, yet visited less than ever? AI didn't break the license—it broke the loop.

Artificial does not mean magical—on the contrary, it means made by our hands, crafted with art, as its etymology suggests. A year of exploring generative AI honored a certain craftsmanship more than it threatened it.
