LLMOPS & AI INFRASTRUCTURE • 308 / 397

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

Saturation

Saturation means a constrained resource is fully or nearly fully utilized.

Think of it like

Think of Saturation 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 Saturation to keep cost and latency under control.

SRE lens

GPU memory, compute, provider quota or queue capacity can each saturate.

Remember thisSaturation means a constrained resource is fully or nearly fully utilized.
