In shortSmaller models, bigger impact / Free-range everything / Security moves left / Developer joy as a metric.

1. Smaller models, bigger impact

The most useful AI will be small enough to run in the coop, and honest enough to say bawk when it does not know.

2. Free-range everything

Serverless will keep eating infrastructure. We expect fewer servers to manage and more functions wandering freely.

3. Security moves left

Foxes will be considered at design time rather than after the incident. Threat modeling will be a normal part of planning.

4. Developer joy as a metric

Teams will start measuring how it feels to ship, not just how fast. Happy hens lay better eggs.
