AI chips sit mostly idle while serving models, because replies must be fast and each step waits on memory. On two large open models, the math units were busy only about 6-11% of the time. We argue the GPU needs an operating system that keeps urgent work on schedule and fills idle capacity with other useful work. A feature that ships today recovers a quarter of a GPU with work designed to share, and a tenth with real jobs, at 5% slower decode. Our research system does better: one resident kernel runs a whole model faster than vLLM's best for a single request, and shares the GPU at under 2% slowdown. Scaling beyond one hand-built model needs compilers and a few new chip features, which we specify.
