This tweet outlines AI's evolution from 2019 to 2025 and beyond:
- 2019-2021: Foundation models like BERT, GPT-2, T5, Codex, GPT-3 set the stage.
- 2022: Reasoning era with ReAct, FLAN, InstructGPT; ChatGPT and Midjourney democratize creative AI.
- 2023: Frameworks like LangChain, AutoGPT, AgentGPT, Semantic Kernel, LangGraph, Claude AI enable autonomous agents.
- 2024: Interoperability via MCP, AITP, ANP, A2A; Claude 3, GPT-4o, AutoGen advance multimodal understanding.
- 2025+: Rise of agent networks with Manus, LMO5, Agora, OWL redefining collaboration.
Key takeaway: AI is moving from isolated models to connected intelligence that reasons, communicates, and creates together.
