Is the AI Agent Narrative Over?
The AI Agent narrative cooled off after explosive gains in late 2024, with many early projects failing to sustain momentum. However, innovation is driving the next evolution of specialized, profit-focused agents. The next wave, dubbed DeFAI agents, will focus on high-value crypto tasks like yield farming and automated trading, using fine-tuned models and high-quality data to deliver real profitability while outdated agents that fail to adapt will fade from relevance.
