It's my job to build these tools. I'm well aware of their strengths and shortcomings.

Unless you are building one of the frontier models, I’m not sure that your experience gives you insight on those models. Perhaps it just creates needless assumptions.

I'm building the layer on top of the models.

People call it agentic AI but that's a word without a definition.

Needless to say better LLMs help with my work, the same way that a stronger horse makes plowing easier.

The difference is that unlike horse breeders, e.g. Anthropic and openAI, I want to get to the internal combustion engine and tractors.
