LLM Inference Non-Determinism: Why Temperature 0 Isn't Enough
Identical prompts produce different outputs even at temperature 0. The real cause — dynamic batching

GPU Memory Planning for Long-Context LLM Inference
Long-context LLM inference is often HBM-bound, not SM-bound. Plan GPU memory from prompt tail, KV ca

vLLM vs TensorRT-LLM for Production Inference Serving
vLLM favors flexible serving; TensorRT-LLM favors compiled NVIDIA peak. Compare ops burden, compile
-
Prefill vs Decode Compute Costs for LLM Inference
Prefill is prompt-bound compute; decode is memory-bound per token. Compare cost shape, when each dom
-
Autoscaling for LLM Inference Serving and Cold Starts
LLM autoscaling should watch queue depth and KV-cache pressure, not GPU busy percent. Plan warm pool
