Which layer of the gen AI landscape includes custom chips and data centers?
Why C is the answer
Infrastructure
Infrastructure is the base of the five layers.
In detail
- Infrastructure includes chips and data centers.
- Infrastructure powers model training and serving.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
Data centers and custom chips sit at the base, and each layer above relies on them.
See it in different ways
flowchart TD A["Applications"] --> B["Agents"] B --> C["Platforms"] C --> D["Models"] D --> E["Infrastructure"]
flowchart LR S0["Infrastructure"] --> S1["Models"] --> S2["Platforms"] --> S3["Agents"] --> S4["Applications"]
Key point: Infrastructure is the base layer.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Applications that users open in a browser
- Applications sit at the top.
- B. Platforms that hide all of the hardware
- Platforms sit above infrastructure.
- D. Agents that use the chips through tools
- Agents sit higher up.
