AI costs are the #1 cloud waste driver in 2026. Here's how DevOps engineers can manage AI infrastructure spending through token-level visibility, intelligent model routing, GPU right-sizing, and new FinOps frameworks emerging from FinOps X 2026.
React Compiler 1.0 shipped in October 2025, and by mid-2026 early-adopter teams were sharing real production migration stories. The results: genuine performance wins, fewer gotchas than expected, and a fundamental shift away from manual memoization patterns.
If you run local LLMs with llama.cpp, you know the drill: downloading GGUF models by hand, memorizing flags for llama-server, juggling multiple terminal tabs across different ports, and context-switching between a CLI and whatever chat frontend you're using.
