AI Concurrency

Concurrency is the number of AI requests actively sharing inference, memory and downstream resources at the same time.

WHY IT MATTERS

AI concurrency is often constrained by VRAM and KV cache long before CPU or network limits are reached.

PRODUCTION EXAMPLE

A service handles 120 concurrent short prompts comfortably but collapses when the same number of sessions use 32k contexts.

SRE DECISION

Is concurrency measured by requests alone, or segmented by context and output size?

REMEMBEROne request is not one unit of load in AI.
