As per-token costs plummet, agents\u2014software entities driving large datasets\u2014are poised to dominate workloads in data systems. This article delves into three emerging challenges born from these shifts. Namely, data systems need redesigning to accommodate agents better, provide the reliable substrate agents require as they manage tasks and coordination, and synthesize bespoke data systems. <\/p>\n<p>Redesigning data systems, termed &#8220;For Agents,&#8221; involves optimizing interaction protocols to harness agentic speculation\u2014multiple agents exploring a high-volume, heterogeneous query space. New interfaces must support batch requests and high-level primitives instead of single-query interactions. &#8220;Data Systems Of Agents&#8221; entail building infrastructure to store pertinent memory and handling failures without livelock. Finally, &#8220;Data Systems By Agents&#8221; addresses agents&#8217; ability to synthesize custom data systems quickly, though verifying their correctness remains critical. The future will see a co-evolutionary path where agents and data systems are symbiotically intertwined in tasks and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intelligence is Free, Now What?
