Get Out of the Model's Way — Kevin Hou, Google DeepMind

This talk details the evolution of AI coding tools from autocomplete to agent teams, introducing Google DeepMind's Antigravity 2.0. The core principle is to "get out of the model's way" by enabling dynamic subagents (led by Gemini 3.5 Flash via /teamwork), sidecars for plugin extensibility (listening to webhooks, cron jobs, messages), and generative UI for dynamic status views. This approach enabled the creation of an OS kernel that runs Doom using 93 subagents in 12 hours for under $1,000. It also highlights automating 90% of eval analysis with 100 parallel hypothesis agents, emphasizing that these building blocks are not fixed and can be dynamically composed.
