The AI Infrastructure Alliance Wants to Build a 'Canonical Stack' for AI - The New Stack

We're already talking with several advanced data science engineering teams that are working on amazing open source projects that form the glue between different platforms, and we're looking to roll them under the Alliance." Of course, with so many moving parts to coordinate, fostering these emerging links hasn't been without challenges, and the AIIA is looking to learn from the missteps of similar precedents so that they can avoid making the same mistakes. "We've got to make sure that everyone sees the bigger picture and works together -- a rising tide lifts all boats," said Jeffries. "We don't want this to turn into a meaningless reference architecture. We don't want everyone in the Alliance pushing and pulling so hard that it warps the stack all out of proportion or collapses to individual interests. The trick here is to focus on mutual benefits -- every member of the Alliance must ask themselves how the Canonical Stack can help the Alliance as a whole. We also don't want governance by pure committee.
