The author argues future AI agents will increasingly live in the cloud with their own isolated environments, tools, and even virtual computers, and Big Tech is already building infrastructure for this. As millions of agents work 24/7, demand for compute, storage, networking and cloud infrastructure could surge; he urges developers to learn deploying agents on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Cloudflare and Vercel — the next big AI opportunity may be the infrastructure, not the models.
