Why AI Inference Is Slow and How Cutting‑Edge Tech Boosts It in Industrial Settings
The article analyzes the severe inference bottlenecks of large language models, CNNs, and recommendation systems and presents a suite of research‑driven accelerations—including token‑level pipeline parallelism (HPipe), KV‑cache clustering (ClusterAttn), quantization (QoKV), heterogeneous edge frameworks (DeepZoning, PICO), delay‑aware edge‑cloud scheduling (DECC), and operator choreography (RACE)—validated on real‑world industrial workloads.
