At the same time, recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the way machines process natural language—language that plays a central role throughout software engineering, from requirements elicitation and design discussions to documentation. - In this talk, I will outline a vision for the role of models in continuous software engineering, focusing particularly on their use in design activities. I will argue that models will remain central to software engineering, even in an era of AI-assisted development, and explore what future design assistants might look like. One key capability of such assistants will be the ability to establish and use trace links between artifacts. I will present recent results showing how LLMs, combined with heuristic techniques, can achieve high precision and recall in this task. - Looking ahead, I will share our vision for how model-driven techniques can support more agile development of cyber-physical systems, and our ideas how LLMs can contribute to realizing the long-standing goal of model consistency. Finally, time permitting, I will also reflect on the use of LLMs in navigating software engineering literature and research data. - -
