What is AI Infrastructure?
AI infrastructure is the connected set of systems, connections, context, agents, limits, and a console, that runs AI inside a company reliably, day after day. It is the difference between a one-off demo and a production system you can depend on. Echelon builds and runs this infrastructure so it keeps working without your team maintaining it.
