What Today's Trends Signal
September 6 makes one thing clear: the agent layer has fully bifurcated into runtimes (agents that run), skills (what agents do), and meta-tools (security scanners, context managers, account switchers) that sit on top of both. Voice generation is the second major vector, with multiple fully local, no-signup alternatives to commercial services landing on the same day, pointing to a builder community that is actively moving workloads off SaaS platforms and onto local hardware.
