## AI overview

The article discusses security and operational challenges in AI/ML workloads, including complex dependencies, bloated artifacts, infrastructure sprawl, and unremediated CVEs. It presents Chainguard Containers' minimal images for AI workloads as a way to reduce attack surface, storage needs, and deployment overhead, and cites a 50 MB gpu-operator image compared with a 170 MB upstream equivalent.

## Source excerpt

Chainguard secures AI adoption with minimal, zero-CVE containers and source-built libraries that prevent supply chain malware while keeping developers fast.
