Signals, Infrastructure, and Guardrails: Practical Engineering Takeaways from the Latest AI Infrastructure Wave

The AI landscape is shifting from monolithic models to modular capabilities and infrastructure that demand rigorous operational practices. This deep-dive lays out concrete engineering patterns — model upgrade playbooks, DGX-class system considerations, Anthropic's Claude Skills-style packaging, fleet resilience for DDoS-like events, and the hard constraints of datacenters in space — with code samples and a short roadmap you can implement this quarter.
