What is the Enterprise-Class ML Infrastructure Cost course about?
As enterprises scale machine learning, infrastructure costs often grow unchecked, spending leaks emerge from underutilized resources, inefficient training runs, and misaligned team incentives. Without structured cost governance, even successful models become financially unsustainable.
