Operate AI like production: serving, GPUs, latency, capacity, routing and reliability.
Throughput
Throughput measures how much work a system completes per unit time, such as requests or tokens per second.
Think of it like
Think of Throughput 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 Throughput to keep cost and latency under control.
SRE lens
High throughput matters for shared AI platforms.
