🔮 EMERGING TRENDS
Local AI Going Mainstream — The "run it yourself" movement hit a tipping point. Qwen 3.6 27B on a MacBook doing agentic work comparable to paid cloud models. OpenCode making it trivially easy. The gap between local and cloud AI is closing fast.
Claude Code as Platform — The ecosystem exploding around Claude Code (SuperClaude, Everything Claude Code, Codex plugin, AgentHub, Citadel) suggests it's becoming the IDE of the AI era. Plugins, agents, skills — it's the VS Code extension marketplace moment.
AI Models Shipped in 2026 So Far — GPT-5.4, GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.6/4.7, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Llama 4 Scout/Maverick, Qwen 3/3.6, DeepSeek V3.2/V4, Grok 4.20, MiniMax M2.5, and more. Absolutely insane pace. 🔗 X: https://x.com/RoundtableSpace/status/2055728741662224707
