Agent infrastructure: vector DBs, inference, observability, and search.
agent_infra is what builders touch when they're wiring up RAG, an agent loop, or an LLM application. Magpie covers the vector DB layer (Pinecone), inference (Together AI, Groq, Hugging Face), observability (Helicone, Langfuse), web search APIs (Tavily), and self-hostable model runners (Ollama, Replicate). Picks favour OSS-first or generous free-tier pricing over enterprise contracts.
