Why it matters

Cornelis is addressing a critical AI infrastructure gap: high-performance networking that can scale both vertically (within clusters) and horizontally (across clusters) without the vendor lock-in of proprietary solutions. This matters to practitioners building or expanding AI factories, and to enthusiasts tracking the compute buildout's architectural shift beyond GPUs alone.
