## AI overview

Vast CTO Alon Horev describes using tiered storage to manage AI agent memory as sessions grow longer and agents work across the enterprise. The approach moves KV cache from GPU memory to CPU memory and persistent storage, with Dynamo coordinating placement across machines. The article also discusses data retention and confidential computing for sensitive agent workloads.

## Source excerpt

AI agent memory is creating new demands on infrastructure as agents run longer sessions and spread across the enterprise. Retaining that context and making it available when needed puts pressure on memory capacity and data movement. Those demands extend beyond the context held during an individual interaction. Enterprise agents also need shared knowledge that persists [...] The post Vast uses tiered storage to ease AI agent memory demands appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
