How do you maximize throughput for a high-traffic LLM s...

To maximize throughput, start by profiling memory to calculate the maximum batch size that fits in HBM. Use continuous batching to approach this limit. Apply techniques like Grouped Query Attention (GQA) or INT8 quantization to raise both the theoretical batch size limit and the actual maximum batch size. Finally, scale replicas horizontally to handle the remaining load, ensuring every optimization step is based on concrete performance metrics rather than vague heuristics.
