Entering the Post-Prompting World
AI is moving beyond manual prompt engineering into a “post‑prompting” era where autonomous agents operate independently. Replit co‑founders Amjad Masad and Haya Odeh highlight breakthroughs such as infinite coherence through embedded evaluation loops and reinforcement‑learning‑driven reasoning.
