Inference is Turing Post’s way of asking the big questions about AI — and refusing easy answers. Each episode starts with a simple prompt: “When will we…?” – and follows it wherever it leads.
Host Ksenia Se sits down with the people shaping the future firsthand: researchers, founders, engineers, and entrepreneurs. The conversations are candid, sharp, and sometimes surprising – less about polished visions, more about the real work happening behind the scenes.
It’s called Inference for a reason: opinions are great, but we want to connect the dots – between research breakthroughs, business moves, technical hurdles, and shifting ambitions.
If you’re tired of vague futurism and ready for real conversations about what’s coming (and what’s not), this is your feed. Join us – and draw your own inference.

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.
