Is AI infrastructure ? For long, the foundation of computing has rested on three pillars: compute, networking, and storage. Every modern system uses this foundation. But we’re entering a new era where AI willl be the fourth pillar of infrastructure. Unlike the others, AI will not just be plumbing — it will be intelligent infrastructure that can process, interpret, and generate information. What does this mean? • Developers will shift from writing explicit instructions to prompting and orchestrating AI systems (“vibe coding”). • Software stacks will evolve to include probabilistic AI components at the core, not just on the surface. • Tools that integrate AI deeply into workflows will become the baseline expectation, not the exception. Just as the rise of the cloud reshaped the market for compute and storage, the rise of AI will define new winners in infrastructure — both broad horizontal platforms and specialized vertical AI stacks. 👉 The big shift: AI will soon no longer be just an application-layer add-on. It will be infrastructure itself, reshaping how software is built, deployed and used #AI #infrastructure #network #compute #storage

Feels like the early cloud days when storage shifted from being an add-on to being the default. AI is going through the same transition.
