> Why is every company seemingly trying to re-implement agents themselves rather than making their product work with the existing ones?

You can't raise a $50 million series b on making a nice terminal. we already have lots of nice terminals for free

		As always it’s about the packaging not the individual components.

Another reason why individual developers do not pay for their tools. This is one of the only professions that does this and they always pass the cost to the employer, who will pay for it until they cut costs.

So the open source code on GitHub is the library that agents need to train on, to do all the economically useful work for 1/100th of the cost or close to free.

That is where it is going and the raised money will be going to the agents.
