AI infrastructure is changing.
As the industry shifts from large-scale training clusters to inference-driven architectures, data center design is evolving to meet new demands around compute, networking, and fiber infrastructure.
In our latest discussion, Keith Sullivan and Dr. Alan Keizer explore:
• The differences between training and inference
• The three emerging categories of inference
• Why inference infrastructure is growing rapidly
• How AI architectures are changing
• What this means for network and fiber design
The conversation accompanies AFL's latest white paper:
"Architecting AI at Scale: From Training Clusters to Inference-Driven Infrastructure"
