The long long tail of AI applications

I think the most important point is #3 about agent structuring. Building a good application means understanding the users’ needs and designing a workflow to help them accomplish their tasks. I don’t think most real-world use cases will reduce to “shove text in andn get text out”. Rather, I think pretty significant scaffolding needs to be built for each application, with models integrated with well-defined, atomic roles in the pipeline. If so, better models will make this work better and open new opportunities, but they won’t supplant the need for app development.
