Capability 1.1.3.1.3

Private Inferencing Compute Deployments

Definition

Dedicated inferencing infrastructure owned and operated by companies for ongoing operational use (not available on demand). Typically used for confidential or long-term projects where compute cannot be shared or outsourced. May include in-house or dedicated, long-term private co-located compute supply in third-party data centres.

Examples

  • Companies running in-house AI models, such as real-time recommendation engines, fraud detection or autonomous systems.

Indicators

  • Number of corporate inferencing clusters
  • Number of accelerators

PLAN COMMITMENT

Limited commitment

See general comment at 1.1.2.1.1 (Cloud Training Compute Infrastructure as a Service (public cloud)). Limited government commitment is appropriate given it is a private sector capability. Limited commitment by government in the plan aligns with the recommendation to maintain and monitor. To maintain agency, investment by the private sector will be required.
