2026-10-05: no new expert publications. Discovery ran across all monitored channels and found nothing new, so no synthesis was produced rather than manufacturing analysis from an empty source set.

Standing Assessment

The industry's center of gravity has moved from model capability to control of the agent layer: who owns the context, the connectors, and the transaction path once users stop opening apps. Frontier and fast open-weight models now operate tools and GUIs competently, but closed-loop judgment (observe, compare, refine) still breaks on multi-step visual and process work. Incumbents (Salesforce, Microsoft, Meta) are racing to ship persistent agents and control panels, mostly in pilot or preview, so packaging is running ahead of proven production adoption. The contest for 2027 is over where lock-in lands, not over which model wins.
