arXiv:2505.04021v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Inference providers must maintain availability for many LLMs, including low-volume but essential models, making resource efficiency increasingly important as token prices fall. Analysis of production traces reveals a dynamic bursty-group pattern in which sets of models become active together and shift over time; existing space- and time-sharing approaches lack principled mechanisms to adapt to this variability, forcing trade-offs between SLO adherence and efficiency. We observe that elastic memory allocation can unify spatial and tempor
The increasing proliferation of diverse LLMs and falling token prices are forcing inference providers to seek more efficient resource management strategies, especially for low-volume models.
Efficient multi-LLM serving is critical for scaling AI infrastructure, reducing operational costs, and making a wider range of specialized AI models economically viable for deployment.
This approach introduces elastic memory allocation to dynamically manage GPU resources for LLM inference, improving efficiency and availability compared to static resource provisioning.

Reduced operational costs for serving multiple LLMs leads to greater profitability for inference providers.
The economic viability of niche or domain-specific LLMs increases, fostering greater diversity in AI applications.
Lower inference costs could accelerate the adoption of complex, multi-model AI systems across various industries, impacting the broader AI ecosystem.
