Rethinking LLM Infrastructure: How AIBrix Supercharges Inference at Scale

In this episode of podcast_v0.1, we dive into AIBrix, a new open-source framework that reimagines the cloud infrastructure needed for serving Large Language Models efficiently at scale. We unpack the paper’s key innovations—like the distributed KV cache that boosts throughput by 50% and slashes latency by 70%—and explore how "co-design" between the inference engine and system infrastructure unlocks huge performance gains. From LLM-aware autoscaling to smart request routing and cost-saving heterogeneous serving, AIBrix challenges the assumptions baked into traditional Kubernetes, Knative, and ML serving frameworks. If you're building or operating large-scale LLM deployments, this episode will change how you think about optimization, system design, and the hidden bottlenecks that could be holding you back.
