When discussing AI inference infrastructure, the word “scaling” can mean several very different things. We might need more GPUs because a model is too large for a single GPU, more copies of a model because concurrency is increasing, or better routing between those copies because repeated context is consuming unnecessary compute. Eventually, we may also…
