More GPUs do not solve every AI infrastructure problem. Sven Breuner from VAST Data joins Kim Isenberg on The Superintelligence Podcast to explain why storage, metadata and networking can leave expensive chips waiting for data.

They discuss how AI training and inference differ from traditional high-performance computing, what VAST means by an “AI Operating System,” and what enterprises need to consider when building larger AI systems.
