Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

If you need distributed AI compute, Ray + Anyscale is the standard. Training and serving at any scale.

80/100 · ship

The lingua franca of infrastructure as code. Provider ecosystem covers every cloud service imaginable.

Skeptic
45/100 · skip

Most teams don't need distributed compute. Cloud provider GPU instances handle 90% of fine-tuning needs.

80/100 · ship

BSL license change was controversial but the tool remains essential. OpenTofu is the hedge if needed.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

Ray is becoming the distributed computing standard for AI. Anyscale manages the hard parts.

80/100 · ship

Infrastructure as code is table stakes. Terraform's provider ecosystem is its moat and it keeps growing.
