The piece argues that as individual models improve, this workflow fragmentation becomes more noticeable, not less, and that the ideal is a multi-model workflow with continuity between steps rather than a single all-in-one model or a fragmented toolchain where the user acts as the integration layer. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
