  2. 75
    Agent Interoperability Protocols

    Open protocols like MCP are becoming the connection layer between AI systems, tools and companies.

    GrowingMaturityEmerging
  3. 68
    Small Language Models & On-Device AI

    Models small enough to run on laptops and phones now handle real production tasks.

    GrowingMaturityEmerging
  4. 66
    AI Inference Infrastructure

    Serving engines decide whether AI features are profitable — same GPUs, several times the throughput.

    StableMaturityAdopt
  5. 66
    Vector Search & Agent Memory

    Past the hype, retrieval quality — not model choice — is what limits AI answers on your own data.

    StableMaturityAdopt
  6. 63
    Memory-Safe Systems Programming

    Governments and flagship codebases are making memory-safe languages the default for new systems code.

    StableMaturityAdopt
  7. 62
    WebAssembly Beyond the Browser

    A safe, fast way to run code anywhere — now spreading to servers, plugins and AI-agent sandboxes.

    GrowingMaturityEmerging
  8. 58
    Post-Quantum Cryptography

    The migration to quantum-safe encryption has started — driven by regulators, not quantum computers.
