arXiv:2606.20295v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large model inference optimization serves as a key foundation for supporting the scalable, low-cost, and highly stable operation of large model services. Centered on token-oriented inference optimization technology, this paper proposes for the first time a four-layer technical architecture consisting of Multi-model Fusion, Model Optimization, Compute-Model Fusion, and Compute-Network-Model Fusion. It systematically reviews the key technologies and current industry status across these four levels and analyzes the application value of related tec
The accelerating demand for large model inference, coupled with cost and scalability challenges, necessitates continuous innovation in optimization techniques to sustain AI development.
Efficient inference is crucial for scaling AI services, reducing operational costs, and making advanced AI more accessible across various applications and sectors, particularly given rising compute demand.
New architectural frameworks for inference optimization will enable more performant and cost-effective deployment of large AI models, potentially shifting the competitive landscape for AI service providers.
- · Cloud AI service providers
- · Hardware manufacturers (specialized AI accelerators)
- · AI model developers
- · Enterprises adopting large AI models
- · AI service providers with inefficient infrastructure
- · Companies reliant on older, less optimized inference stacks
Lower operational costs for large language model inference will become more widespread, improving economic viability.
Increased accessibility and application of sophisticated AI models as the cost per token-operation decreases, spurring new AI-driven products and services.
Potential for a 'race to efficiency' among AI providers, impacting market consolidation and the strategic importance of proprietary optimization techniques.
