Paper proposes Software 3.0: convergence of storage, models, and agents

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A new paper proposes that software development is undergoing a third major paradigm shift, termed Software 3.0. This evolution moves beyond Software 1.0 (instruction-driven) and Software 2.0 (data-driven machine learning) to a model where context and reasoning are paramount. The paper posits that the future of software will converge into three core components: a generalized database for persistent state, a large model for intelligence and reasoning, and an agent to manage the execution loop between the two. This shift is expected to fundamentally alter the roles of developers, the database industry, and the broader software engineering discipline. AI

IMPACT Suggests a future software architecture centered on large models and agents, potentially reshaping developer roles and the database industry.
