I've been having so much fun lately. For the past two weeks, I've been basically tossing and turning between the Gemini 3 and Nano Banana Pro, as if I've unlocked a full talent for generating raw photos, spending every day until dawn generating them. The powerful model delivers a smooth and immersive experience, making it easy to get caught up in the satisfying feeling. But perhaps because I was having so much fun, I noticed a contrast: It seems everyone has temporarily forgotten about the agent. I wonder how many people are like me, whose timelines are filled with more powerful models and smoother raw images. Discussions about the agent's workflow have disappeared from the timeline. This is something to be very wary of. I've been looking at some projects on other platforms and talking to a few companies lately, and I can sense that the agent industry is quietly booming. It's quiet and unassuming, without any dramatic press conferences. But you can see it starting to delve into various real-world business operations. Some of the small tasks that used to require human supervision have started to run on their own. Upgrading the model is indeed very satisfying, but the evolution of agents has reached a point where it is making steady progress without much fanfare. Be mindful of yourself. Playing with models is certainly fun, but if you only focus on the fun aspect, it's easy to overlook one fact: Ultimately, what determines business value are often the processes and systems that can effectively utilize the model. So I also pressed the pause button on myself: Let's slow down and get back to the agent line to dig deeper. Sometimes, niche topics aren't necessarily unpopular; it's just that the hype drowns them out. The direction that is truly worth following is often this kind of quiet, step-by-step evolution.
