Hardware-Software Co-Design Matters
- AI-first cloud requires tight integration of hardware and software to serve compute-bound, high-bandwidth workloads.
- Designing from first principles enables smarter caching and distributed sharding across storage and memory layers.
Cache Closer To The Metal
- Cache at lower levels than bucket or block storage, including shared memory, to accelerate large model workloads.
- Gain low-level hardware access to implement distributed smart caching across a global fleet.
Production Reveals Infra Gaps
- Production and longer training runs reveal reliability and operational gaps that short experiments hide.
- Self-healing, health checks, and orchestration are critical as runs lengthen and faults become inevitable.
