Efficient AI inference is crucial as the world moves towards deploying AI at scale, leading to the need for better processing power.
Open-source inference engines like vLLM are being utilized to address these challenges, with full support across various Google Cloud platforms.
A new project called llm-d is introduced, aiming at making AI inference more scalable and cost-effective through Kubernetes-native distributed and disaggregated inference.
llm-d incorporates advanced serving technologies and aims at providing low-latency, high-performance inference by leveraging Google Cloud's resources and AI integrations.
