Everyone gets an AI agent, almost no one gets the actual model

This essay nails a split most coverage misses, the wrapper layer is democratizing fast while the intelligence layer underneath is being hoarded and gated. That is a strange inversion of how tech access usually diffuses, where the interface used to be scarce and the compute underneath got commoditized. It is a useful frame for thinking about who actually wins the current AI cycle, the platform layer building the wrappers or the labs guarding the model layer.
