infrastructure

Definition

Everything underneath the model that makes work on it possible: training stacks, data pipelines, evaluation harnesses, serving layers. A title that leads with infrastructure is usually not proposing a new model but a substrate other work is meant to build on, so the contributions to look for are throughput, reproducibility, and cost rather than accuracy. It sits a level broader than framework, which usually names one library.
