Opinion: AI infra is becoming a coding runtime as intelligence units outgrow tokens
prateekj · x · 2026-11-12
Prateek Joshi argues AI interfaces are becoming code while the units of intelligence outgrow tokens: richer datatypes like images, video, 3D scenes and world models (geometry, camera poses, spatial relations, motion predictions) don't fit the token abstraction. Coding agents let you describe desired outcomes and compose these into executable pipelines — so AI infra may start looking like coding runtimes in various forms.
