Executive Summary↑
The sudden leadership change at Workday, with co-founder Aneel Bhusri returning as CEO, highlights a growing tension in enterprise software. Companies are struggling to integrate AI without sacrificing the stability their core customers demand. This executive shuffle suggests that even established giants feel the pressure to return to their roots to navigate current market volatility. Watch for a broader trend of founder-led retrenching as deployment costs weigh on traditional SaaS margins.
Technical focus is shifting toward the plumbing required for "always-on" intelligence. New infrastructure plays are finally tackling the high cost of video data while others borrow latency tricks from financial fraud models to hit 300ms response times. We're exiting the era of general experimentation and entering a phase where speed and data utility dictate the winners. The long-term value lies in the orchestration layers that allow these systems to talk to each other reliably rather than in fleeting consumer hardware trends.

Technical Breakthroughs↑
The industry obsesses over autonomous agents, but we've hit a ceiling with how these systems actually work together. Connecting two agents via API is trivial. The real friction lies in orchestration, the layer that allows diverse models to share context and negotiate tasks without constant human intervention.
Most enterprise deployments remain trapped in silos. Companies like Salesforce and Microsoft are pushing their own agent frameworks, yet they lack a common protocol for cross-platform collaboration. For investors, this suggests that the next phase of value won't come from building better LLMs. It'll come from the middleware that manages these complex handoffs.
We're essentially at the "networking" stage of AI development. Just as the early internet required TCP/IP to move beyond closed systems, agents need a standardized reasoning layer to be useful at scale. Until this orchestration layer matures, agentic workflows will remain expensive, bespoke projects rather than scalable software products.

Regulation & Policy↑
AI developers often fixate on model size while ignoring the latency requirements that regulated industries actually demand. Financial fraud models already prove that safety checks must happen in under 300ms to be commercially viable. This technical reality creates a significant policy hurdle for LLM builders. If a model can't execute safety filtering at that speed, it becomes a liability risk that most corporate boards won't touch.
Regulators are moving toward "inference-time" accountability, a standard that mirrors the strict liability found in global banking. This shift means that safety is no longer just a training-phase problem. Companies that can't integrate high-speed governance will likely be boxed out of high-value sectors like healthcare and finance. The market is beginning to realize that the most valuable AI won't just be the smartest, but the one that can be restrained the fastest.
