Summary
Q1 was defined by the realization that agents are here — Q2 is shaping up as an all-out race to make them enterprise-ready. From Nvidia's Nemo Claw adding security to Open Claw, to Manus and Adaptive launching desktop agents, to OpenAI's internal "code red" refocus on enterprise and coding, every major player is converging on the same goal: getting agents out of experimentation and into production. In the headlines: Jensen Huang forecasts a trillion dollars in Nvidia revenue, Meta signs a $27 billion deal with Nebius, and Chinese AI labs start keeping their best models closed source.
