Inference Engineering (Full Colour)

Inference engineers work across the stack from CUDA to Kubernetes in pursuit of faster, less expensive, more reliable serving of generative AI models in production. While the potential and impact of inference are becoming clear, the space is young. There are relatively few people working on inference, and newcomers can become experts quickly. There are opportunities to solve novel, interesting, and deeply technical problems at all levels of the stack.Inference Engineering is your guide to becoming an expert in inference. It contains everything that I’ve learned in four years of working at Baseten. This book is based on the hundreds of thousands of words of documentation, blogs, and talks I've written on inference; interviews with dozens of experts from our engineering team; and countless conversations with customers and builders around the world.
