The current technological landscape may represent a significant shift driven by large language models, but its ultimate impact remains uncertain.

What happens under the hood? How is the search engine able to take that simple query, look for images in the billions, trillions of images that are available online?

For the past few years, artificial intelligence has been discussed almost exclusively in terms of models. Bigger models, faster models, smarter models. More recently, the focus shifted to agents, systems capable of planning, reasoning, and acting autonomously. Yet the real leap in usefulness does not happen at the model level, nor at the agent level. It happens one layer above, at the level of Skills.
