Charles Frye, Parallel Processors: Past & Future Connections Between LLMs and OS Kernels.

ai.bythebay.io Nov 2025, Oakland, full-stack AI conference In this talk, we'll travel back to the future, examining some of the early innovations in computer systems and showing their reinvention in the last year as cutting-edge optimizations for LLMs. Then we'll step back and consider what it really means for LLMs to be the "new kernels" for "Software 3.0". We'll pay special attention to what shows up missing on the LLM side in this analogy, like interrupts, kernelland/userland, open standards, and more.
