Minimal Sufficiency: A Principle Similar to End-to-End

Authors Mallik Tatipamula and Vinton G. Cerf propose developing shared tools and interoperable infrastructure to enable AI/ML growth, similar to the Internet's evolution.

They suggest creating an AI/ML stack with standard services and applying a principle similar to the end-to-end principle that guided the Internet's development.

The end-to-end principle guided the development of the Internet.

The author has spent 25 years studying the end-to-end principle and seeks to extend its success to other services, including process management and storage, such as Unix/POSIX.
