English translation of the Korean original, prepared with AI assistance. Korean original

Today’s AI ecosystem signal is that trust-based agentification is accelerating. AI is moving beyond general knowledge retrieval to autonomously carrying out companies’ core business processes. Companies are going all in on specialized agent systems, well beyond simple model calls. These systems learn internal data and workflows and operate on their own by combining complex reasoning with external tools. On the infrastructure side, NVIDIA is consolidating its dominance of architecture, while new suppliers such as China’s CXMT are creating a geopolitical competitive landscape and adding a new variable to the hardware ecosystem. Meanwhile, the open-source community is bringing the latest agent solutions to wider and safer client environments through developer-friendly lightweight frameworks and in-browser deployment (Transformers.js). Next month, the main technical discussions will centre on the security vulnerabilities companies may hit as they apply agents to real work (model extraction, poisoning and the like) and on the best inference cost structure in the field.
