something definitely broke in the last 30 days. ai models are now being used to build other ai's...

open source models are getting cheaper, smaller and somehow smarter.
companies are laying off 100,000s of people and replacing them with a prompt.
frontier models can now run on a hand-held device.
i mean just look at the last month:
anthropic
- opus 4.6 - coding orchestration
- claude marketplace - app store for enterprise AI
- numerous enterprise agents + plugins that killed stocks - e.g. "claude for legal" wiped out $30B in law firm prices
- claude code security (RIP cybersecurity stocks)
- code review (today) - team of agents reviewing your PRs in 20 min
openai
- gpt-5.4 - best computer use model
- gpt-5.3-codex - helped build itself, also sick coding model
- codex macos/windows app - multi-agent desktop coding
google
- 3.1 pro - new flagship
- nano banana 2
- lyria 3 - music gen from text/photo/video
- pomelli - ai photoshoots
i genuinely think we're gonna look back on this year (or maybe even 2025) and think "yep that was the last time the world felt normal"
feels fucking weird tbh
