The industry thinks AI infrastructure is a GPU problem. It is actually an AI control plane problem — and the control plane is relocating into the network fabric. The more scheduling intelligence moves into that fabric layer, the less important the individual compute node becomes — and the more important the layer that determines where…

AI placement latency is not the problem most teams think they are managing. The default framing treats it as an optimization variable — pick the cheapest compute that meets the SLA, centralize inference, optimize for utilization, revisit locality later when the architecture matures. That framing is wrong in a way that compounds over time. AI…
