AI agents to use disaggregated substrate, abstracting infrastructure

The future of AI agents may not rely on traditional machine-like sandboxes. Instead, a disaggregated 'agentic substrate' could allow agents to access various execution environments without needing to know the underlying infrastructure. This approach would present a single logical environment to the agent, while the actual computation could occur across different physical systems, clouds, or specialized hardware, abstracting away the complexities of where tasks are performed. AI

IMPACT This conceptual shift could simplify agent development by abstracting away infrastructure complexities, allowing agents to operate more seamlessly across diverse computing environments.
