Serving, inference engines, retrieval and vector storage, accelerators and schedulers — the layers underneath AI applications that determine cost, latency and reliability.
The same Breakout Score applies to every topic, so scores are comparable across areas. What differs is which evidence is usually available — the questions below describe how that plays out here.
Nine factors add up to 100. Three are analyst judgements, five are measured from stored sources and time series, one is an estimate. A hype penalty of up to −15 is subtracted when attention runs ahead of evidence.

Areas we track in ai infrastructure, and where current signals sit.
Cooling signals, and signals first seen more than 30 days before the latest update in this topic.
None yet. As the dataset ages, older and cooling signals move here so the current list stays current.
