I suspect RAM may become increasingly useful with the shift from pure chat LLM to connected agents, MCP, and catching results and data for scaling things like public Internet search.

When I think of database system server software, a lot of performance gains are from keeping used data in RAM. With the expanding of LLM systems and it’s concerns, backing data, connective ness, and need for optimisation, a shift to caching and keeping in RAM seems to suggest itself. It’s already wasteful/big and operates on a lot of data, so it seems plausible that would not be a small cache.
