Sonnet 3.5 and other large context models made context management approaches irrelevant and will continue to do so.

o1 (and likely sonnet 3.5) made chain of through and other complex prompt engineering irrelevant.

Realtime API (and others that will soon follow) will made the best VTT > LLM > TTV irrelevant.

VLMs will likely make LLMs irrelevant. Who knows what Google has planned for Gemini 2.

The point is building these complex agents has been proven a waste of time over and over again until, at least until we see a plateau in models. It's much easier to swap in a single API call and modify one or two prompts than to rework a convoluted agentic approach. Especially when it's very clear that the same prompts can't be reused reliably between different models.

I encourage you to run evals on result quality for real b2b tasks before making these claims. Almost all of your post is measurably wrong in ways that cause customers to churn an AI product same-day.
