Practical 'harnesses'—the systems, interfaces, and workflows built around models—will become the primary competitive differentiator

Companies need to focus on integration, reliability, and user experience rather than just developing more powerful underlying models

This shift represents a maturation phase where AI adoption depends more on implementation quality than algorithmic breakthroughs
