Step 6 of 7 in Sequence
Latency & Cost Optimization
Estimated Duration: 1 - 2 Weeks
Step 6 optimizes model inference latency, GPU memory utilization, and API token expenditure through quantization, caching, and vLLM engine tuning.
Operational Deep-Dive
What Happens During Step 6
Engineers configure vLLM PagedAttention KV caching, AWQ/GPTQ weight quantization, semantic prompt caching, and speculative decoding to hit target p95 SLAs at minimal VRAM footprint.
Why Sequence Matters:
Optimization occurs after security hardening to ensure performance benchmarks reflect production security overhead.
