Key Concepts & Glossary: AI Compute and Infrastructure Intelligence
GPU Cloud Orchestration
GPU Cloud Orchestration is the automated provisioning, scheduling, and lifecycle management of GPU clusters (such as NVIDIA H100/B200 nodes) for serverless LLM inference and distributed AI model training.
Local LLM Runtime
A Local LLM Runtime is an execution engine (such as Ollama, llama.cpp, or LM Studio) engineered to run quantized open-weights language models locally on consumer hardware without sending data to cloud APIs.
GPU
A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory. Because training neural networks involves massive matrix multiplication, the parallel processing power of GPUs is critical for modern AI workloads.
Mixture of Experts
Mixture of Experts (MoE) is a neural network design that scales model parameters without increasing compute cost. Instead of activating the entire network for every token, MoE routes inputs to specialized sub-networks ("experts") using a gating router.
