I think this is a very well articulated breakdown of the "LLM Core Code Shell" (https://www.latent.space/p/function-agents#%C2%A7llm-core-code-shell https://www.latent.space/p/function-agents#%C2%A7llm-core-co...) view of the world. but it is underselling the potential to leave the agents stuff to a three paragraph "what about agents?" piece at the end. the emerging architecture of "Code Core, LLM Shell" decentralizing and specializing the role of the LLM will hopefully get more airtime in the december a16z landscape chart!
