The core paradigm migration of Agentic AI: from the lowest token generation, to chat alignment, to tool-augmented reasoning, goal-oriented execution, and finally to multi-agent automation and software factory.

The competitiveness of future AI systems no longer only depends on the quality of a single response.

The design capabilities of the entire loop have become extremely important: How to define goal?

How to call tools?

How to build judge?

How to retry?

How to set exit condition?

How to distribute tasks among multiple agents?

Prompt engineering is just the entrance, and Loop engineering is the real system engineering in the Agent era.
