Inference by Turing Post

Why do we need a special Operating System for AI?


Listen Later

When thousands of AI agents begin to act on our behalf, who builds the system they all run on?

Renen Hallak – founder and CEO of VAST Data – believes we’re witnessing the birth of an *AI Operating System*: a foundational layer that connects data, compute, and policy for the agentic era.

In this episode of Inference, we talk about how enterprises are moving from sandboxes and proof-of-concepts to full production agents, why *metadata matters more than “big data,”* and how the next infrastructure revolution will quietly define who controls intelligence at scale.


*We go deep into:*

What “AI OS” really means – and why the old stack can’t handle agentic systems

Why enterprises are underestimating the magnitude (but overestimating the speed) of this shift

The evolving role of data, metadata, and context in intelligent systems

How control, safety, and observability must be baked into infrastructure – not added later

Why Renen says the next 10 years will reshape everything – from jobs to the meaning of money

The ladder of progress: storage → database → data platform → operating system

What first-principles thinking looks like inside a company building for AGI-scale systems

This is a conversation about the architecture of the future – and the fine line between control and creativity when intelligence becomes infrastructure.
