Salesforce backing away from per-conversation pricing tells us something. Enterprises are discovering that software which decides its own resource consumption breaks their control systems. We're watching this play out across the ecosystem: multi-agent frameworks promise sophisticated coordination while 90% of deployments stay stuck in pilot mode. Observability standards fragment as frameworks multiply. Foundation models absorb reasoning that used to live in orchestration layers.
Our read: the next six months bring control planes, not just monitoring tools. Active resource governance. Decision boundaries that actually constrain behavior. The tension is fundamental. Enterprise software assumes you can predict what it costs to run. Agents assume autonomy to pursue goals however they need to.
Teams building at scale face an architecture problem. How do you channel agent autonomy within enterprise constraints? TinyFish sees this daily in web automation: the capability exists, but operational models that let autonomous systems run inside governed environments lag behind.
