AI is changing our delivery pipelines, but most teams default to GPUs without evaluating alternatives. In this Ignite, I’ll show what it actually takes to pilot Tenstorrent in a DevOps environment: where Wormhole PCIe cards fit, how the TTNN/PyTorch path and TT-Forge compiler plug into CI, and what SREs should watch (power, thermals, scheduling, and failure modes). We’ll cover observability hooks, image build basics, rollback plans, and how to stage a low-risk bake-off alongside your current stack. No hype—just a clear checklist to help platform, SRE, and MLOps teams decide if and how Tenstorrent belongs in their fleet.
