I'm going to be in NYC next week, come and join me at the first llm-d meetup.

If you're looking to learn more about distributed inferencing on kubernetes, this is going to be the place to be.

Optimizing LLM Workloads: A Deep Dive into the GPU Recommendation Tool & Configuration Explorer YouTube video by llm-d Project

In the latest llm-d release, we’re tackling high hardware costs with the new GPU Recommendation Tool! 📈

Evaluate throughput, latency, and cost-effectiveness before requesting expensive cluster resources.

In case you missed it, last week the llm-d community shipped the v0.5 release.

Check out the post from the llm-d project owners to learn more about all the features we've included in this release.

🏗️ llm-d v0.5: Sustaining Performance at Scale In our last release, we focused on breaking latency records.

With v0.5, we’re shifting from peak performance to the operational rigor required to sustain those gains in production.

Inside vLLM’s New KV Offloading Connector: Smarter Memory Transfer for Maximizing Inference Throughput In this post, we will describe the new KV cache offloading feature that was introduced in vLLM 0.11.0. We will focus on offloading to CPU memory (DRAM) and its benefits to improving overall inference…

Standardizing high-performance inference requires deep ecosystem collaboration. 🚀

Huge shoutout to @vllm_project and @IBMResearch on the new KV Offloading Connector. We’re seeing up to 9x throughput gains on H100s and massive TTFT reductions. 🧵

AI inference is like a busy airport: without a controller, you get gridlock. ✈️

Check out this breakdown by Cedric Clyburn from Red Hat on how llm-d intelligently routes distributed LLM requests.

🔹 Solves "round robin" congestion
🔹 Disaggregates P/D to save costs

Honestly, if you want a project you could buy a Gaggia Classic Pro for $499 (or a used one cheaper) and go the gaggiuino route.

Yea - they are shockingly close to ones I've seen in the past. Maybe if i get some time in the future and go and find some live ones. One I remember used the word "crunchy" to describe the headphones and i was reminded of a wine review for "chewy tannins". Hilarious

Well... that's the joke! They are all written to be basically as generic as possible so that they could equally apply to either wine or headphones. I seeded the vote counts out of the gate so that you wouldn't have like 1 or 2 votes swing the graph too much, but here's an example post-vote.

So I decided to make a game out of this. Welcome to "Bottles or Cans" where you can read a review and guess if its for a bottle of wine or for a pair of headphones (aka cans).

bottlesorcans.com

So a long time ago when buying new headphones and reading reviews, I noticed how the reviews often sounded similar to reviews for a bottle of wine. Like:

"Rich and full-bodied with excellent depth. The bass notes are particularly impressive, with a smooth finish that lingers pleasantly."

not that i'm sure you need ANOTHER one to look at, BUT i'm a big fan of the recteq smokers too. I agree to pass on the Traegers, i've seen too many literally go up in flames.
