The ecosystem around Agentic Engineering is evolving in parallel with an accelerated race to ship new and more capable models while dealing with GPU capacity constraints. This mix of challenges in processes, tools, and infrastructure build-out results in fast-paced change with implications that cannot be easily foreseen. We will continue hitting various bottlenecks as progress is made, revisiting old approaches or adding new ones. All we can do is embrace the uncertainty and adjust course when needed. With the bottleneck shifting from generation to orchestration and verification, we have an opportunity to close some of the gaps in processes and systems that have existed for a long time and, in doing so, improve the industry as a whole.
I took some time to recap my observations, highlighting the constraints and bottlenecks that will shape the coming weeks and months: https://ocytko.net/posts/quo-vadis-agentic-engineering/
