## AI overview

This article describes two connected paths in platform engineering for AI: using LLMs and agents to improve existing platform capabilities, and building specialized platforms for AI/ML workloads. It highlights infrastructure-as-code generation, intelligent troubleshooting, security policy automation, GPU orchestration, model registries, feature stores, experiment tracking, and the need to support data scientists and ML engineers. It argues that conventional software-delivery platforms may not fit ML workloads and points toward more autonomous platforms.
