Crypto folks keep hoping every year for the next big "XX Summer" in crypto — some breakout narrative that ignites the sector. It didn't happen last year either, yet the real inflection point was quietly unfolding from June to August: that was the pivotal window for Anthropic's paradigm shift. The outcome speaks for itself — Anthropic is now approaching a trillion-dollar valuation. This year, I also don't expect a classic crypto "XX Summer." But I do see a strong chance for a major turning point in a fresh AI direction. It could very well be the Summer of AI Agent Clusters — the rise of networked agent swarms.
