The Hidden Cost of Complex AI Platforms: Why Developer Experience Matters
Shaoni Mukherjee
The cloud AI platform ecosystem today looks more powerful than ever, with access to powerful GPUs like NVIDIA H100 and H200, massive libraries of pre-trained models, and full pipelines for fine-tuning and inference. I recently tried deploying a simple inference endpoint for a model. Ideally, it should have taken a few minutes: provision compute load the model send a request Instead, it took closer to two hours before I got a successful response. Not because the model was difficult to run, but
