Omnigent: Composition, Control, and Collaboration for AI Agents

Denny Lee discusses the industry's shift to meta-harnesses like Omnigent, which enables hot-swappable AI models and agents, illustrated by his personal project of using debating agents to plan a matcha farm in Taiwan. He highlights how "tokenomics" is replaying the CapEx-to-OpEx cost shift, emphasizing the need for developer visibility, central governance, and auto-model selection to manage AI spend. The conversation also touches on the importance of databases for agent memory and accountability in AI-assisted workflows.

What do we build now? — Theo Browne, @t3dotgg

Theo Browne's keynote from AIEWF2026 urges software engineers to fundamentally change product development in response to rapidly evolving AI models (Sonnet 3.5 to Mythos). He advocates for rejecting legacy mental models and tools (skeuomorphism), embracing a new "Markdown tier" for projects, and thinking "wider" instead of just "deeper" by building extensible platforms that can challenge industry giants. The core message is to be more ambitious, as AI has drastically lowered the barrier to entry for complex, broad-reaching solutions.
