What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ AI ][ TOOLS ]
The full chain of infrastructure — hardware, runtime, and software layers — a request passes through to get a response out of an AI model.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Half the latency turned out to be one slow layer buried in the inference stack, not the model itself."
LORE & ORIGIN
Borrowed directly from ML infrastructure terminology as more builders needed to reason about where latency or cost was actually coming from.
