Modelplane publishes inference engineering guide for platform engineers
What happened
On November 11, Hacker News' front page featured Modelplane's inference engineering guide. Aimed at platform engineers, it covers pairing models with GPUs, production deployment and a learning path for the job, running from inference resource budgeting to serving operations: memory budgets for weights and the KV cache, bottlenecks in the prefill and decode stages, engine optimization, gateway authentication, observability and scaling. The guide also stresses concurrency testing with real traffic and tying that testing to production deployment needs.
