Visual AI agents should save discovered pipelines as reusable programs, argues dev
prateekj · x · 2026-11-13
Developer prateekj argues that in visual AI, thinking costs more than execution: an agent may spend dozens of reasoning steps finding which models to chain, but once a pipeline works it shouldn't re-reason every time. Save the pipeline as a program and replay it a thousand times without paying for reasoning each run. He sees this as where agent tooling is headed for images, video, 3D, and world models — agents discover pipelines, infra turns them into reusable programs.
