Distributed Inference Challenges Explained #shorts

[00:00:00]Can you talk to me about what common challenges emerge when inference becomes distributed?

[00:00:05]>> When you're a team who's planning for production inference, you are very, very, very likely going to have more than one replica in your environment.

[00:00:13]Maybe when you're kicking the tires and just getting started and you have very low traffic, you'll have one replica that can process the requests or two replicas that can process the request.

[00:00:24]And when you have a smaller amount of scale, this is important. You want to have a reliable service that can operate, but as you start to have tens of replicas, the service becomes more and more expensive to operate. And so, a lot of the logic behind like why we've invested in LMDs to just provide operators with tools in their toolbox to try to get as much performance as possible out of their at scale, you know, inference deployment.
