# 1.1 From LLMs to Agents

The recent evolution from large language models to autonomous agents marks a structural shift:
\
AI is no longer a static inference engine—it is a dynamic actor.
\
However, the economic environment around these agents has not evolved accordingly.
\
Most existing agents rely on centralized billing APIs, closed access control, and manual human oversight.
\
They cannot operate as independent entities capable of earning, spending, or coordinating value.
