Warewulf is having their first User Group meeting - a WUG. #HPC

This is an interesting read on an overlooked AI infrastructure problem. Brian Dawson, Director of Product Management at CIQ, explains why they built Rocky Linux from CIQ - AI (RLC-AI) and what surprised them during development.

Most AI teams can't answer basic questions about their systems' performance, costs, or bottlenecks. As AI moves from experimentation to production scale, this visibility problem becomes critical. Read Gregory Kurtzer's full article here: bit.ly/4mFtWQ1 #AI #Infrastructure #HPC #TechLeadership
