Communication infrastructure for a world of personal agents

The web is optimised for humans. If most people end up working alongside a personal model, those models are going to spend most of their time talking to each other, and natural language is a poor carrier for that. Vector representations are higher bandwidth and lower latency, and cryptography built for them becomes valuable in exactly that world.
