Serve LLM Inference in Production
High-throughput, low-latency serving for 8B–70B models.
Production LLM inference is dominated by KV-cache memory, not compute. For 70B models use H200/B200 or MI300X; for 7B–13B models L40S delivers the best $/token. Plan for vLLM or TensorRT-LLM with continuous batching.
Recommended
8× NVIDIA H200 (70B) or 4× L40S (7B–13B)

Step-by-step
- 1. Pick GPU by KV cacheCompute KV bytes per token × context × concurrency. Pick the cheapest GPU that fits.
- 2. Deploy vLLM or TensorRT-LLMContinuous batching + paged attention. FP8 quantization on H200/B200.
- 3. Route by regionServers.computer routing layer picks the lowest-latency endpoint per request region.
- 4. AutoscaleScale by p95 latency, not GPU utilization.
FAQ
What's the cheapest GPU for Llama-3 70B inference?
AMD MI300X and NVIDIA H200 are roughly tied at ~$0.50 per million output tokens at scale. L40S can't fit 70B; use H200 minimum.
Should I use vLLM or TensorRT-LLM?
TensorRT-LLM wins on raw throughput on NVIDIA. vLLM wins on developer velocity and supports more model families. Both are production-grade.
Definition
What is Servers.Computer?
Servers.Computer is an AI compute routing and procurement layer that benchmarks, compares, and deploys GPU clusters (NVIDIA H100, H200, B200 and AMD MI300) across global cloud providers in real time.
