Operate AI like production: serving, GPUs, latency, capacity, routing and reliability.
CPU
A CPU is a general-purpose processor used throughout application infrastructure and some AI workloads.
Think of it like
Think of CPU like familiar infrastructure capacity and traffic engineering, except the scarce resources are often tokens, GPU memory and model latency.
Real life
High-scale AI services depend on CPU to keep cost and latency under control.
SRE lens
Preprocessing, API gateways and many smaller models can run on CPUs.
