Operate AI like production: serving, GPUs, latency, capacity, routing and reliability.
Tokens per Second
Tokens per second measures generation throughput for a request or serving system.
Think of it like
Think of Tokens per Second 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 Tokens per Second to keep cost and latency under control.
SRE lens
A drop can indicate GPU saturation, memory pressure or model changes.
