This content was written with the assistance of AI language models but curated and controlled by me. Most conversations about AI focus on the model. The chatbot, the assistant, the thing that answers your question in seconds. But the model is one layer in a larger stack. Understanding the full stack changes how you think about AI strategy, investment, and what comes next.https://www.rik-kisnah.ai/posts/how-oci-works-with-oci/Sun, 30 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0700https://www.rik-kisnah.ai/posts/how-oci-works-with-oci/Disclaimer: This article reflects my personal research and analysis based on publicly available information and is not representative of my employer’s official position. When you type a question into an AI assistant and receive a coherent, contextually relevant response seconds later, something remarkable happens between your keyboard and that reply. For engineers and developers building applications on top of these systems, understanding that process matters. It determines how you architect inference endpoints, allocate GPU resources, and optimize costs.https://www.rik-kisnah.ai/posts/nccl-complete-reference-guide/Sat, 15 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0700https://www.rik-kisnah.ai/posts/nccl-complete-reference-guide/Disclaimer: This article reflects my personal research and analysis based on publicly available information and is not representative of my employer’s official position.

Highlights from NVIDIA GTC DC 2025: OCI at the Heart of the AI Revolution Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) demonstrated its central role in shaping the future of AI infrastructure at NVIDIA’s GTC conference in Washington, DC (October 28-29, 2025). The event showcased groundbreaking announcements, technical innovations, and strategic partnerships that position OCI as a cornerstone of America’s AI leadership.https://www.rik-kisnah.ai/posts/summary-gpu-oci-first-principles-blog/Sun, 26 Oct 2025 22:43:15 -0400https://www.rik-kisnah.ai/posts/summary-gpu-oci-first-principles-blog/Disclaimer: This article reflects my personal research and analysis based on publicly available information and is not representative of my employer’s official position. In the rapidly evolving landscape of AI infrastructure, one company has quietly revolutionized how we think about GPU computing at scale. Through a series of “First Principles” engineering blogs and groundbreaking deployments, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has demonstrated that starting from fundamental physics and systems design—rather than following industry conventions—can yield extraordinary results.https://www.rik-kisnah.ai/posts/gb200-batam-data-plane-rollout/Sat, 15 Mar 2025 10:00:00 -0700https://www.rik-kisnah.ai/posts/gb200-batam-data-plane-rollout/Three weeks in Batam, Indonesia in March 2025. Not a vacation - something far more meaningful. I was there to help bring the NVIDIA GB200 data plane to life, working alongside some of the brightest minds at OCI and NVIDIA. This was the moment where cutting-edge technology meets real-world infrastructure, and I got to be part of making it happen.
