AI has begun to write systems code: agents now synthesize, verify, and deploy system components. Despite this shift, "AI-native" remains a marketing term with no precise technical definition. This paper gives it one. We define AI-nativeness along a single axis---authority over the system's own decisions rather than by the capability of the underlying AI models. Building on a decision-level model of a system, we distinguish occupancy (who executes a decision) from revision authority (who may change it), organize revision authority into a ladder---self-tuning, self-rewriting, self-architecting and define a system as AI-native when an AI autonomously rewrites the system's own implementations. The definition further requires an escalation detector, a verification procedure, and a verified fallback, while leaving purpose and correctness human-owned.
Current operating systems expose interfaces optimized for human users but not for AI agents. Humans benefit from pixels, icons, windows, visual grouping, mouse movement, and keyboard shortcuts; AI agents instead need compact semantic state, grounded actions, and reliable feedback…
Coding agents are increasingly used to accelerate code generation in many downstream tasks, such as fixing bugs, building applications, and prototyping. However, despite their value as coding assistants, agent-generated code tends to be larger and more verbose than the correspond…
Hardware accelerators now sit on the critical path of online serving. GPUs, FPGAs, and increasingly remote services such as hardware security modules, post-quantum KEMs, and inference servers. For fine-grained offloads (microseconds to a few milliseconds) the classic responses to…
Long-horizon rollout generation has become the dominant systems bottleneck in agentic reinforcement learning (RL). As agents interact with environments over many turns, trajectories rapidly grow to tens of thousands of tokens, making synchronous RL training increasingly constrain…
On-device LLM decoding is a hard-barriered CPU-SIMD computation that wants every core for milliseconds per token, while the rest of the OS wants those same cores continuously. A barriered gang cannot simply be dropped into a preemptive scheduler: an unannounced departure deadlock…
AI-native biotechnology companies are often designed by copying human biotech org charts into agent roles. We argue for a different abstraction: a Company World Model, defined as a persistent asset-to-value state representation with transition models, explicit value functions, pl…
