I predict we may be heading back to self implementations based off of papers since it is now cheaper to do so with AI coding agents.

Yeah they kinda suck and make mistakes right now, but tech only gets better.

It’s no different than 3D printing. Instead of cutting and joining a bunch of stock parts, you just print the desired part.

In the same way printing with plastic kinda sucks, the tech will improve. Now you can print in metal or in resin without supports.

The future will be take all the ideas from various off the shelf products but tightly integrate them together for my specific use case
