Summary Insight:
The past 72 hours mark the definitive shift from AI as a tool to AI as an environment. From Apple’s embedded intelligence to Hermes Desktop’s local autonomy, from Zhipu’s market validation to Mythos’ enterprise depth — the focus has moved beyond model size to control, context, and consequence. The AI era is no longer about what models can do — it’s about who owns the workflow.
