TVM creator Tianqi Chen asks: do we still need ML compilers in the agentic era?

TVM creator Tianqi Chen (tqchenml) amplified a discussion sparked by kernel-agent experiments: with agents able to handle kernel development end-to-end, do DSLs and ML compilers still matter? Their answer: yes. They rebuilt TIRx from the ground up as a shared DSL and compiler foundation designed specifically for agentic kernel development, arguing for a ground-up rethinking of ML compiler infrastructure for the agent era.
