Inference Serving

These words describe the runtime tradeoffs that shape model responsiveness and serving efficiency.

How to recognize this theme

Terms you see when model output speed and cost matter.

In a daily board, this category groups terms by their shared role. Look for four cards that describe the same mechanism, risk area, or workflow rather than four words that merely sound similar.

Throughput

Throughput is the amount of work a system completes over a given time period.

Quantization

Quantization reduces numeric precision to make model serving faster or cheaper.
