Training gets the hype, but inferencing is where AI actually works - and the choices you make there can make or break real-world deployments.
Inferencing is an important part of how the AI sausage is made. But, unlike the proverbial sausage - whose making is best left unobserved - it's critical to know what inference is, why it's important and what decisions you can and should make around it.
Over the past two years, I have had the opportunity to observe and understand how generative AI (gen AI) inferencing is evolving and accelerating, both through my interactions with practitioners here at Red Hat as well as with customers.
