◆ TOPIC · LLM INFERENCE
The LLM Inference thread.
LLM inference is the production layer where trained models turn into served outputs at scale — the serving stack, hardware, and unit economics that fix cost per token. Recurring threads include quantization gains on models like GLM-5.2, collapsing token prices set against surging enterprise spend, and the GPU and cloud infrastructure (A100s, AWS) that inference workloads increasingly depend on, strain, and expose to attack.
