Artificial intelligence has crossed a threshold. What once lived in research papers now powers everything from email clients to medical diagnostics. But we are still in the early innings of a transformation that will take decades to fully unfold.
Large Language Models Grow Up
The story of AI in 2025 was the story of language models finding their footing in production. Hallucination rates dropped. Tool use became reliable. In 2026, the conversation shifted from what can models do to how we build reliable systems on top of them.
The most important hardware trend is not raw performance — it is power efficiency. Running a 70B model on a laptop battery is table stakes in 2026.
