> Fast inference refers to the process of rapidly generating outputs from a trained artificial intelligence model, particularly large language models (LLMs), in response to input data. It is critical for real-time applications such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and interactive tools, where low latency and high responsiveness are essential for a positive user experience.  > > The speed of inference is measured by metrics like Time To First Token (TTFT), which quantifies the time taken to produce the first output token after receiving a prompt, and overall inference speed in TTM (Tokens Per Minute), which measures how quickly the model processes input and generates a complete response. see - https://www.cerebras.ai/ - raised $1.1B @ $8.1B - https://www.cerebras.ai/press-release/series-g - https://groq.com/ - https://sambanova.ai/ ![[c49fb2e1eff207a6756816eac690f2635cd74f0d-1920x1080.avif]]
