A long argument says AGI is arriving gradually as models and products co-evolve
dotey · x · 2026-07-25
The author argues that large-model progress and product innovation are co-evolving, and that the capabilities models retain in practice are the ones selected by real products and human interaction.
- Product form factors shape which abilities get learned and improved: translation shaped Transformers, tool use was selected by LLM products, agentic task handling by tools like Manus, and coding ability by Claude Code.
- The piece argues that stronger intelligence will not kill software products; it will create new product forms and new human–AI interaction modes.
- The author believes AGI is already here in a gradual sense, not as a single “AGI day,” and lists future co-evolving traits such as multi-step interaction, long-horizon tasks, memory, teamwork, long context, and agent-native messaging interfaces.
