The article explains how LLM inference engineers manage tradeoffs between latency, throughput, cost, and quality using the idea of an efficient frontier. It distinguishes techniques that move a deployment along the frontier, such as batch sizing and parallelism choices, from techniques that expand the frontier through gains like KV cache reuse, quantization, distillation, and pruning.
