Abstract: AI infrastructure demands a rethink of everything we know about data architecture. In this panel, we’ll explore how traditional HPC systems fall short in supporting AI factories, and look at how object interfaces, key-value caching, and global data mobility take center stage. We’ll examine why the old paradigms of file-based I/O, tight coupling, and centralized metadata can't meet the latency and concurrency needs of modern AI workflows—and how new approaches are emerging to address the unique lifecycle of AI data. If HPC was built for simulation, AI factories are being built for adaptation. The tools—and rules—are changing fast.
