AI Infrastructure
Which models and platforms are other alive things built on? As of Oct 18, 2026, the Index tracks 6: 6 deployed. 6 can be bought or used today.
In this world: A simulator, reusable model, runtime or operations platform built for agents or autonomous machines that third parties can use today — by download, license, API or service — to train, test, deploy, run or coordinate them. Not in it: General-purpose clouds, chips, LLM APIs and MLOps tools with no product built for autonomous machines; hardware you buy; and research nobody outside can use.
How far each one has got
