Describes a pipeline that turns raw AI demand into an operational network and claims AI will bridge the divergence gap between exponentially growing complexity and linear staffing. Explains four stages—plan design deliver run—with specifics: plan maps GPUs needed by time and site, design picks topology, transport, hardware and software, deliver covers rack rolling, cabling, powering and validation, and run enforces performance and failure handling. Notes GPU/NIC heterogeneity and examples like Ultra Ethernet packet trimming that introduce new failure modes to model.
