When to slice an A100 into seven, and when not to.
Routing, retries, and rate limits in front of your inference fleet.
Error budgets when your dependency is a probabilistic model.
INT8, FP8, and AWQ — measuring what you actually lose.
Draft models, acceptance rates, and the latency wins that survived contact with reality.
Latency budgets when 50ms of network is unacceptable.
