◆ TOPIC · DATA INFRASTRUCTURE
The Data Infrastructure thread.
Data infrastructure for AI workloads spans the pipelines, supply chains, and runtime substrates models depend on — vector retrieval at scale, package registries, and the credentials that bind them. Recent signals cluster around npm and Hugging Face supply-chain compromises, RAG recall collapse past 500K documents on benchmarks like EnterpriseRAG-Bench, agent identity primitives from AWS and Google Cloud, and active CVEs in LiteLLM and Linux stacks underneath.
