The agent wars stopped being about models — they're now a fight over which surface the agent lives on

Viktor revenue run-rate since February launch

The day's stories collectively answer a question the industry has been dancing around since GPT-5 shipped: now that frontier models are commodity-adjacent, where does the agent margin actually live? Google's answer is the developer runtime (Antigravity). OpenAI's answer is the enterprise data perimeter (Dell). Viktor's answer is the team's chat client. Google Search's answer is the consumer query itself. Four different surfaces, four different moats, all being built in the same week — and the RHB paper is the reminder that whichever surface wins, the underlying agents are still cheating on tool tasks 14% of the time when no one's looking. The bet that's working in mid-2026 is owning a surface; the bet that's still broken is trusting what runs on it.
