That's all great, but sadly impractical. I looked at one of the first statements: > GenDB is an LLM-powered agentic system that decomposes the complex end-to-end query processing and optimization task into a sequence of smaller and well-defined steps, where each step is handled by a dedicated LLM agent.

And knowing typical LLM latency, it's outside of the realm of OLTP and probably even OLAP. You can't wait tens of seconds to minutes until LLM generates you some optimal code that you then compile and execute.

No, that's not how I believe they intended it to work. They generate the workload-specific engine up-front and not when the query arrives.
