About This Site & the Author

This is an original blog, maintained by Jimmy Song, focusing on long-term research and technical writing in AI Infrastructure and Agent Runtime.

The core topics here are not about model parameters or short-term trends, but about how AI capabilities can be delivered in production environments with stability, governance, and sustainability. This includes engineering for inference and RAG, runtime abstraction, resource models (especially GPU utilization), platform engineering, and system governance.

All content is original and based on engineering practice, long-term research, and open discussion. The site does not chase traffic, aggregate content, or accept hidden commercial promotions. Articles and tutorials are continuously updated and revised as needed, rather than being published once and left untouched.

Author Background

Jimmy Song is a CNCF Ambassador and AI Infrastructure Architect, long active in open source communities related to cloud native and AI infrastructure. He founded the ArkSphere community, focusing on AI Infrastructure and engineering practices.

Over the past decade, he has worked in various technical roles across multiple companies, including development, architecture, operations, platform engineering, and technical advocacy, driving the adoption of Kubernetes, Service Mesh, and platform engineering in real-world production environments. These experiences provide a solid practical foundation for the site’s content.
