The real solution is semantic routing. You want to be able to define routing rules based on something like mdast (https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast) . I've built a few hacked versions. This would not only allow for things like terminal rendering but is also a great complement to tool calling. Being able to siphon and multiplex inputs for the future where cerebras like speeds become more common, dynamic configurable stream routing will unlock quite a bit more use cases. We have cost, latency, context window and model routing but I haven't seen anything semantic yet. Someone's going to do it, might as well be me.

Markdown is already fragmented, that would just be introducing a new fragment, not a standard [insert that comic that everyone posts any time someone proposes a new standard]. The long-term solution is having whatever markdown grammar you want and converting it to a standard AST. Then anyone can create their own transformations of that AST to render whatever document they want, including a new markdown document potentially in a different grammar. https://pandoc.org/using-the-pandoc-api.html#pandocs-archite... https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast https://unifiedjs.com/
