The Architecture of Modern Inference: Engineering the Disaggregated LLM Lifecycle

Baseten engineers Philip Kiely and Ali Taha detailed the shift to disaggregated prefill/decode serving, predictive layer-wise quantization error cancellation, hardware interconnect bottlenecks, and state-machine-constrained agent execution in an analysis featured on Latent Space.

An exhaustive analysis of Baseten's Philip Kiely and Ali Taha on Latent Space. This masterclass feature dissects the shift to disaggregated prefill/decode serving, predictive layer-wise quantization error cancellation, hardware interconnect bottlenecks, and state-machine-constrained agent execution.
