Editorial Take
September 15 makes clear that the agent economy is moving fast in two directions at once: builders want richer, more composable skill layers on top of existing agents, and they want to own the infrastructure those agents run on. The combination of self-hosted platforms, offline-first tools, and local voice and video generation suggests a growing wariness of SaaS lock-in running alongside, rather than against, the AI adoption wave.
