Peak Inference

Infra Economics of AI Inference

Many AI systems fail for reasons that are not obvious during development. Latency is acceptable, benchmarks look good, then usage grows and costs behave strangely. This book explains why inference is constrained less by compute and more by memory movement, batching behavior, and context growth.
