Stateful Compute Is Back: Diptanu Choudhury (Tensorlake) on Building Infrastructure for Agents

"I think agents cannot be trusted." That's what Diptanu Choudhury, founder of Tensorlake, told us at AI Engineer World's Fair. Diptanu has built cluster schedulers at Netflix, HashiCorp, and Facebook, and he says the credential model we created for human-authored software does not work for autonomous agents. He joins us to explain why teams are pulling secrets out of the sandbox, why agents are bringing stateful compute back at scale, and why every write in Tensorlake's file system records which agent made it and what credentials it held.
