Summary

A new AI Model Virtual Machine specification aims to provide a secure, portable standard for integrating AI models, enforcing isolation, extensibility, safety, and transparent performance tracking.

Key Points

  • AI models require a virtual machine layer that interfaces between the model and the rest of the system
  • A standardized AI Model Virtual Machine specification enforces security, isolation, extensibility, and portability
  • Benefits of an AI Model VM include separation of concerns, built-in safety and governance, transparent performance tracking, and verifiability of model output
