He claims last year's AI models (and even local, smaller models run on hardware like Mac minis) are already good enough for most business use cases, citing quotes from Dreamforce attendees and executives (G2's Tim Sanders, DocuSign's CEO) who say most Agentic outcomes come from prior-generation models rather than frontier ones. He predicts a future of distributed, locally-run, task-optimized models rather than reliance on frontier labs like OpenAI and Anthropic, frames orchestration as more important than raw model capability, and dismisses an Anthropic researcher's resignation warning as fear-mongering. The video ends with a pitch for his own developer mentoring program. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
