AravSrinivas · x · 2026-09-05
Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas tweeted that "the end of markdown files" is here and "bitter lesson always wins" — implying that as models gain stronger context handling and agentic tool use, static Markdown files as the medium for rules and context will be replaced by models reading raw environments and generating context on the fly. A short but notable paradigm call from a major AI company CEO.
