Today in Compute College
Today's lesson
AI compute procurement is the disciplined process of sourcing and managing accelerator capacity for AI workloads. Why it matters today: Today's lesson connects the Buyers & Operators track to the compute market readers are watching.
Term of the Day
Disaggregated inference runs prompt reading and answer generation on separate workers. The workers pass the saved attention data between them, so each group can be sized for its own workload. A service receiving long documents might add prompt-reading workers without adding the same number of answer-generation workers.
