Faster Pipes, Stalled Clusters: The Network is the Constraint

While everyone is focused on GPU advancement, the foundational truth is that the next real performance unlock in AI infrastructure will not come from more compute alone. A large part of it will come from the network that ties the compute together. This white paper from Cornelis explores why today’s passive networks are becoming a constraint on AI infrastructure—and what needs to change to keep expensive compute working as clusters scale.
