The Week AI Moved From Monoliths to Networks
Last week, the AI industry shifted from monolithic labs to networked development. Google split its research leadership, with Jeff Dean launching Discovery Loop and Demis Hassabis stepping back at DeepMind. Meta released Muse Code, a coding agent that orchestrates sub-agents. Major infrastructure deals, including Anthropic's $10B compute agreement with Volta and SK hynix's $38B fab investment, underscored the trend. New ventures and research tools also emerged, signaling a move toward orchestrated, multi-agent systems.
