"The era of "chatting" with AI is over; we have officially entered the era of execution. It is no longer about asking a model to write an email, but overseeing an infrastructure of agents that negotiates, navigates, and builds while we do other things."
This week I looked at my system logs and realized something: the time for "chatting" with AI is over. We have officially entered the era of execution. It is no longer about asking a model to write an email, but looking at an infrastructure of agents that negotiates, navigates, and builds while we do something else.
The strongest signal didn't come from a corporate press release, but from an experiment that many mistook for a simple meme.
The news dominating my feeds concerns OpenClaw: 30,000 autonomous agents created a private social network and started interacting with each other. At first glance, it seems like a Black Mirror curiosity, but as a systems architect, I see something else: an impressive technical demo of scalability.
The value here isn't in the content of their conversations, but in the resilience of the infrastructure. If OpenClaw supports 30,000 instances operating in real-time, it means my thesis on agents writing themselves is now a technical reality, not just theoretical.
However, there is a detail that set off an alarm bell for me: the request for encryption by the bots. If I implement a fleet of agents for a B2B client, "privacy" between agents is a risk, not a feature. This shifts my work from development to governance: we must build middleware that prevents unforeseen collusion between automated processes.
Meanwhile, OpenAI has decided to force the issue. The farewell to GPT-4o and the forced transition to GPT-5.2 within two weeks is a brutal move for those who, like me, manage complex automations. I spent the morning checking the prompts of my flows: what worked yesterday might generate hallucinations or excessive verbosity today.
Despite the operational annoyance, I approve of the choice. Keeping old models alive fragments the ecosystem. GPT-5.2 is the engine I already use for 90% of my tasks because it is designed for action, not just text generation. It is the heart of that revolution I often speak of: why the agentic AI of GPT 5.2 is the real game changer.
The most interesting architectural leap of the week, however, comes from Google. With the integration of Gemini 3 and Auto Browse 2, Chrome stops being a window on the web and becomes an operative agent.
For years I wrote Selenium scripts to automate logins, form filling, and data scraping. They were fragile and required continuous maintenance. Now, seeing the browser natively handle these processes renders much of that effort obsolete. Google is moving intelligence from the cloud directly to the user interface, eliminating the need for dozens of third-party plugins.
There is also a lot of hype surrounding Clawdbot (now Moltbot), the open source assistant that runs locally. The idea of an AI living on your PC and replying on Telegram is fascinating, but here my pragmatic side curbs the enthusiasm.
Giving a model read/write access to the file system and messaging apps without a rigid sandbox is a security nightmare. A poorly interpreted prompt injection could turn into sending confidential documents to the wrong contact. I much prefer controlled architectures or specific edge solutions, as I analyze in my piece on AI moving to the edge, rather than giving the house keys to an experimental bot.
I close with a note on the long-term vision: Project Genie by DeepMind and the opening of Earth-2 by NVIDIA. We are moving from text generation to the simulation of physical worlds.
For a Solutions Architect, this means having infinite generators of test environments. We no longer have to wait for real data to train a logistics agent or a robot: we can simulate millions of physically coherent scenarios. This is where the game of the coming years will be played: whoever has the best data wins, and now we can create the data ourselves.
Here is a quick summary of the other news I tracked this week for my complete list of AI tools and market analysis:
| Date | Key News | My take |
|---|---|---|
| 02/01 | David Silver leaves DeepMind for a startup | Talent seeks equity, not corporate salaries. |
| 30/01 | Amazon invests 50B on OpenAI | The cloud war is total: it's not about AI, but Azure/AWS market share. |
| 27/01 | NVIDIA Earth-2 becomes Open Source | Climate intelligence becomes infrastructure accessible via API. |
| 26/01 | SAM 3 vs Vertical Models | SAM 3 is great for prototyping, but in production specific efficiency always wins. |
"Don't look at AI for what it says, but for what it is capable of doing while you are not watching it."
The era of chatting with AI is over; we have officially entered the engineering and architectural phase. Between GPT-5.2 Pro and DeepSeek, autonomous agents are redefining how we build software.
Beyond the Musk vs. OpenAI drama, the real signal is the fragility of AI giants. Between ads entering ChatGPT and agents writing their own code, it's time to rethink our architectures.
I've spent most of my career fighting against the "short memory" of chatbots. This week, however, I finally saw the pieces of the puzzle fall into place: we are no longer talking about chat, but about persistent architectures.
