really struggling to understand where this is coming from, agents haven't really improved much over using the existing models. anything an agent can do, is mostly the model itself. maybe the technology itself isn't mature yet.

My view is different. Agent products have access to tools and to write and run code. This makes them much more useful than raw models.

Yes, I think they unlock a whole new level of capability when they have a r/w file system (memory), code execution and the web.

That's not the model, that's the box the model came in.

It's unlikely we've hit the limits on improving agent UX, but there are some fundamental limits on LLMs that seem unlikely to be fixed by better UX.
