Your question is Architecting Cloud-Native AI Systems. Take a moment with it on the right.

Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).

Problem

Walk me through how you would architect a scalable cloud-native solution for an AI-driven product at Seven Ai.

Clarify the product, users, workload, data sources, and business objectives before proposing an architecture. Explain how you would design the offline data and training path, online inference and serving path, model lifecycle, cloud infrastructure, evaluation, observability, and failure handling. State the assumptions you need to validate, quantify scale and latency once requirements are known, and discuss tradeoffs between managed services, custom infrastructure, cost, reliability, and iteration speed.
