MODELS
Open weights are becoming the default starting point
Teams that assumed a hosted frontier model now start with an open model and only escalate when the workload demands it. The decision has moved from ideology to cost, latency, and control.
What actually matters right now.
Every entry carries a verification state. Verified means we confirmed it against a primary source. Reported means one credible source, not independently confirmed.Developing means it is still moving.

COMPUTE
Large unified memory pools change which models a single workstation can hold, and therefore what a small organisation can run without renting anything.
AGENTS
Running a task is no longer interesting on its own. The question is whether the system can verify what it did and leave an auditable record behind it.
EDGE
Bandwidth, privacy, and latency all push the same direction — models running next to the sensor, the camera, the machine, or the operator rather than in a distant region.
SOVEREIGNTY
Control over weights, data, and deployment is starting to appear where it actually bites — in contracts, security reviews, and vendor questionnaires.
