The paper introduces LOCKR, a planner that uses hidden-state trajectories to detect and repair stable-but-wrong lock-in in diffusion language models, achieving absolute accuracy gains of 2.21–5.37 percentage points on mathematical reasoning benchmarks.
Argues that AI model performance is now commoditized, so the competitive moat has shifted to the 'harness' around models. Highlights pi as a light open-source local harness and calls the missing model-neutral cloud harness the next battleground.
This article explains how Microsoft's proprietary document formats create lock-in by making documents appear inconsistent in non-Microsoft software, and argues for open standards as a solution.
This article highlights the difficulty of switching an LLM's memory layer after extended production use, noting that memory lock-in can be more problematic than model switching due to accumulated claims and drift.
A blog post discusses how the lock-in effect of programming languages is diminishing due to the rise of coding agents, exemplified by a company rewriting native iPhone and Android apps to React Native.
