Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (2 articles). Watching for it to gain traction.

SOURCE EVIDENCE

"The counter-case is that agents relocate the moat rather than remove it. Generated code still has to be verified and optimised, and that is where CUDA's ecosystem is deepest."

"Writing code is a small part of building software; the hard part is tuning it for production. And chip software is a niche field, with few public examples for agents to learn from."
