This is kinda expected — OSes aren’t going to suddenly be rewritten for AI. What we’re really seeing is a hybrid model: hardware and kernel stay the same (primitives, isolation, scheduling), and on top of that you get an AI runtime / agent platform that handles task scheduling, shared state, and inter-agent coordination. Agents, tools, and workflows sit above that, orchestrating tasks. Deterministic programs remain because they’re cheaper, faster, and easier to verify; the AI layer just adds a structured way to coordinate and automate things without replacing the underlying OS. Basically, the kernel stays the substrate; the “agentic paradigm” lives above it.
