AI Infrastructure Hub: GPU Clusters, Distributed Training, and Model Serving

Modern AI infrastructure represents the converged engineering of high-performance GPU hardware, ultra-low-latency networking fabrics, distributed storage pipelines, and optimized LLM serving runtimes. Scaling Large Language Models and multimodal foundation architectures requires specialized infrastructure capable of sustaining petabyte-scale data ingestion, multi-node gradient synchronization, and sub-second token generation latencies.

This hub organizes the architecture, hardware topologies, orchestration layers, and inference runtimes powering generative AI.
