[D] NLP infrastructure (alien.top)

I'm always willing to build a career in AI/ML infra. Usually when talking about AI infra in tech industry, we refer to training infra, serving infra, model deployment etc.

Now with this genAI/LLM wave, I find many NLP specific infrastructure such as semantic indexing, vector databases are quickly rising up. So do semantic indexing/vector databases also count as AI infra? And is it a promising field?

No, it is not considered AI infra. Embedded databases consume AI infra to create the embedding, but vector databases can exist without any AI component. AI infra is the generation of output not the consumption of the generation. If that was the case, every piece of software built that uses a LLM component would be considered AI infra.
