This week, Latent Space examined the infrastructure gap holding back AI agents, with Modal's CTO Akshat Bubna arguing that today's systems were built for inference, not the dynamic compute demands of agentic workflows. The episode surfaced a critical tension: as AI moves from static model serving toward autonomous decision-making, the underlying platforms must fundamentally rethink how they allocate resources and handle unpredictable execution patterns.
