How do we optimize inference costs and performance?

Efficient inference makes AI practical at scale.
Norman Jouppi

How It Works:

Apply techniques like model pruning, quantization, and serverless GPU bursts; use load balancers and caching layers to manage traffic.

Key Benefits:

  • Lower bills: Slash compute spend up to 10?.
  • Reduced latency: Speed up response times for users.
  • Maintain accuracy: Minimal impact when done properly.

Real-World Use Cases:

  • Voice assistants: Fast response under heavy load.
  • Recommendation engines: Real-time personalization at scale.
