The underlying technology stack and resources necessary to support the development, deployment, and management of machine learning models and applications. It includes MLOps, specialized hardware (GPUs, TPUs), software frameworks, data storage systems, networking components, and optimized data pipelines designed for high-performance AI workloads. Only about 10% of code in a production ML system is the ML model itself; the remaining 90% is infrastructure code handling data processing, deployment, monitoring, and serving.

Claims & Evidence
Machine learning infrastructure includes MLOps and refers to the underlying technology stack and resources necessary to support the development, deployment, and management of machine learning models and applications.
AI/ML infrastructure consists of specialized hardware, software frameworks, data storage systems, and networking components designed for high-performance AI workloads, featuring specialized processors like GPUs and TPUs.
Only about 10% of code in a production ML system is the machine learning model itself; the other 90% is infrastructure code handling data processing, deployment, monitoring, and serving.
Modern ML infrastructure platforms provide end-to-end solutions with GPU orchestration, automated job scheduling, scalable storage, and integrated CI/CD workflows to simplify the entire ML lifecycle.
AI infrastructure consists of the hardware and software needed to create, deploy and manage AI-powered applications and workloads, and is part of an AI stack including frameworks, tools, and services.
AI infrastructure combines artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to develop and deploy reliable and scalable data solutions, enabling machines to think like humans.
The ML Infrastructure space is crowded, confusing, and complex, with platforms spanning functions across the model building workflow including data preparation, model building, and production.
