Agent infrastructure has finally reached the tipping point toward standardization. Sandboxes, tool calling, context lifecycle — these were once the grunt work that every company’s harness had to stitch together on its own. Now there’s a real opportunity to consolidate them into a public compute layer. I’ve long believed that all agent infrastructure is worth rewriting from scratch — and this step today is a genuinely solid one.
