The Tensor Data Platform: Towards an AI-centric Database System
Summary: Shift DBMS core from relations to tensors to natively support multimodal data, leverage tensor hardware/runtimes, and enable automatic differentiation for trainable queries. Introduce TDP, extending relational→tensor mappings with tight tensor-runtime integration to support broader multimodal and differentiable query processing. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
