IMO visualization is such a critical part of explanation - we have created an entire suite of tools to visualize - presentations, graphs, formatted docs, websites, svgs, interactive blocks, apps.

To that front - model providers generating visualization elements (i,e taking over the tools for interaction and visualization) is just a natural next step in value capture.

Anthropic launched docs, presentations, sites and am sure they have sheets next up their alley. Apps are artifacts. Tool forming is a natural model adjacency.

I see reasoning models being used to change the way to draft assignments and formulate teaching. Accelerating the learning gradient for students now requires a better understanding of how they learn and working with their motivators.

E.g. if students learn better through gameplay - can assignments become like game levels?

Rather than building for verifiable outputs - build assignments that gauge process and help elicit what they have learnt not what they have produced.

We just need better specialized models for these. Writing is as much a process of thinking as of communicating the idea. Current generation of outputs eliminate the process of thinking

The best design is invisible - most (web)sites are designed for text based reading / watching - primary modality. Maybe we will see more inspired design - with voice, video or agent scanners using which one can talk to an agent via an assistant

Cost of signalling is way lesser than the cost of verification.
