⚡ Can Stateful AI Agents Scale To Zero?
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + OpenInfra Summit + PyTorch Conference China 2026 · 2026-09-07..09-09·
summary
Explains how to run stateful AI agents on Knative by externalizing session state, decoupling session continuity from execution, and pooling heavyweight runtimes so agents can scale to zero. Describes integrating agent tool use and sandboxed runtimes with serverless elasticity and outlines scenarios where scale-to-zero is appropriate versus when always-on runtimes are preferable.
