Operate AI like production: serving, GPUs, latency, capacity, routing and reliability.

Inference Server

An inference server is software optimized to load models, schedule requests and return predictions efficiently.

Think of it like

Think of Inference Server like familiar infrastructure capacity and traffic engineering, except the scarce resources are often tokens, GPU memory and model latency.

Real life

High-scale AI services depend on Inference Server to keep cost and latency under control.

SRE lens

It is a critical service to monitor like any other production tier.
