I will describe a new model for infinity-operads as polynomial monads. This extends to the
infinity-categorical setting the description of (one-coloured) operads as associative monoids
in symmetric sequences, as well as the natural generalization of this to coloured operads.
This is joint work with David Gepner and Joachim Kock.
